The problem is the "'s around the img src.....it's throwing off your animated drop down menu.
How do I fix that?
A: It is not correct to write menuItems in such way.
You should write:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br> Gary Parsons <br><br><img src='images/thumbnail.jpg'>","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549",,,,,"0"],
Try that.
Q: First, i like the time I save with this program, but it isn't going to help me that much if I can't put the menu where I want it on my page.
No matter how I set the "positioning", it shows up in exactly the same place over and over. I've put it in table cells, I've given it absolute positioning... none of it matters.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
Q: How I make to insert a code java in the event on click of the button "Ok", when this button is simple tree view?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'>
<nput name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","",
"images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
You should write your own code within tmenuItem.
