Q: I am trying to have the selected top menu w dhtml item remain on the mouseover event after it is selected. It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal. How do i get this to work.
I tried removing the variable from the data file and calling it using
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> var pressedItem=set 1,2,3 depending on page </script>
but this does not seem to work as it does for tabs.
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu w dhtml by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each button in the link drop down menu?
A: You can paste the separator.
You should add separators between your items, use "Add separator" button on the mainwidow of Deluxe Tuner.
var menuItems = [
["FHSA","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Chapters","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["AZ Resources","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Double Butte Cemetery","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Surname List","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Helping Hands","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Book Fund Purchases","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
var separatorVImage="separv1.gif";
var separatorVWidth="1px";
var separatorVHeight="21px";
Q: I want to have the pop up window display as you mouse over an image/link - is this possible?
A: For example you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or
onMouseout on a link.
So, you should create a link on your page and set id="" for it, forexample:
<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>
In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link
So you'll have
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=link,onMouseOver=over,onMouseOut=out,')
Q: We purchased your deluxe menu two months ago. Right now, I try to resize the menu icon to fit our website. I changed MenuHeight, I got duplicate menu icons. I also want to change Menu Icon font, but I couldn't do it. We have your previous version menu system, As soon as we change bigger font for Menu Icon, it will be resize. I really think you sould have this function. Otherwise, I got create my own image.
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_magentablack.gif
btn_magenta.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
To change font in the top items you should change your Individual ItemStyle.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px
Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
