Q: I have a top horizontal menu with one level sub-menus.
I am using images for the rollover (on & off). I don’t need the generated text on the main menu, only on the submenus.
??? How do I eliminate the text and only have roll-overs?
A: You should delete item's text:
["","testlink.html", "image.gif", "imageo.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Is there a way to hide a menu options in the navigation menu using either CSS or the java api based on the site user?
A: Deluxe Menu supports Javascript API.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
