Q: I have one problem you may be able to help with:
If I set
var tsaveState = 1;
The following errors are generated:
_tls is not defined
tob has no properties
and the menu doesn't display.
If you could help with this I would be grateful.
A: You should use dtree_ss.js file.
You should install your menu so:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree_ss.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/tree-data.js"></script>
Q: I want to buy your product today, but have a few questions:
How do I change the font style for java menu templates to 9pt Verdana bold, but leave the sub-menus 9pt Verdana normal? I understand there’s a "fontStyle" variable, but is there an "itemfontStyle"? How do I make the left hand padding greater for the menu? I’m using the XP Style 1 and the far left top menu item is running up against my left hand border. I want to add about 10px of spacing to the left of the menu. How do I make the options in a menu have equal spacing? For instance, if there are 5 items in the menu, how can each have 100% / 5?
A: You can use Individual Item styles to set specific parameters for eachitem or submenu.
1.
var fontStyle=["normal 9pt Verdana","normal 9pt Verdana"]; //for subitems
//style for the top items
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
];
2., 4. You should specify itemPadding parameter in "px". You shouldadd "px" in your style for subitems:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Notice also that you can set multiple value for itemPadding parameter,for example:
itemPadding=4px 10px 4px 10px
top right bottom left
4. You should set the exact width for the java menu templates:
var menuWidth="500px";
and set width for the top items using Individual styles:
["itemWidth=100px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
Unfortunately it is not possible to specify item's width in '%' inIndividual styles. The following width parameters won't work.
var menuWidth="100%";
["itemWidth=20%","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
Q: We purchased your menu about 2 months ago and were curious if your menu has scrollable Sub-Menus or Scrollable Flyouts?
This is when you have a long sub-menu item and the user can click on up or down arrows on the menu fly-out to scroll to the next item.
If you are unclear as to what I am talking please let me know as I have seen this functionality in many popular DHTML Menus
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't have scrollable submenus. You should scroll yourwindow to see the whole menu.
We have smart scrollable feature in Deluxe Menu

A: You should create 6 Individual Styles and assign them to you topitems.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#0000ff,#0000ff","showByClick=0"], //style 0
["itemBackColor=#FF00FF,#FF00FF","showByClick=0"], //style 1
["itemBackColor=#00ffff,#00ffff","showByClick=0"], //style 2
["itemBackColor=#00ff00,#00ff00","showByClick=0"], //style 3
["itemBackColor=#FFFF00,#FFFF00","showByClick=0"], //style 4
["itemBackColor=#FF0000,#FF0000","showByClick=0"], //style 5
];
["Find out Who we are","http://www.humanscience.org/", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Apply For Fellowship","http://www.humanscience.org/infoSnippets.cfm", "", "", "", "_blank", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style 1
["Fellows Corner","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "", "", ], //style 2

["Engage in a discussion","", "", "", "", "", "4", "", "", "", "", ], //style 4

You can also set

to delete spacing around the dropdown menu javascript.
