Q: Your product is great. I do have one question for you however.
Right now the dropdown (subitem) menus appear based on the smShowPause variable, and disappear based on the smHidePause variable. It is sometimes awkward for users to mouse off the subitem menu that has dropped down, only to have it still hanging there. Reducing the smHidePause variable is not an option because then the menu often disappears before a user has selected a menu option.
The ideal solution is the have the subitem menu recognize when the user has moused off the menu, and then disappear. Is this possible?
if not, I definitely suggest incorporating it into your next build!
A: Try to set these parameters:
var transition=0;
var transOptions="";
var transDuration=0;
var transDuration2=0;
var smShowPause=200;
var smHidePause=200;

One popup for example after 1 second, and disappear after 10

Q: Hi there. I need to be able to customize the x & y coordinates of each submenu in the javascript horizontal menu. I don't see such a control in the GUI interface. How can I do this?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to set these parameters for eachsubmenu individually. You can set them for all submenus.
Use the following parameters ('Positioning' section):
var topDX=0;
var topDY=1;
var DX=-5;
var DY=0;
Q: Thanks, we tried giving var pressedItem=0; and the script as below:
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0);
}
</script>
We are facing 2 problems
1) Two menus are getting highlighted, the "Home" and the dynamic html menu which is called onLoad using dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0); function)
2) The submenu of the dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0) is not getting highlighted.
A: Try to set
var pressedItem=-2;
dm_ext_setPressedItem function has a following parameters:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
So, if you want to highlight item in the submenu you should use itemInd of this item (notitemInd of the parent item).
For example you want to highlight submenu item of the 'Manage Users' parent item with
itemInd=15.
You can find more info about dynamic html menu indexes here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
So you should write the function in the following way:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0, 3, 15, 1, 1)
menuInd = 0 if you have only one menu on the page
submenuInd = 3, see how to determine submenuInd in the table
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
itemInd = 15, see how to determine itemInd in the table
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
recursion = 1, to highlight parent items
parentOpen = 1, to open the submenu with the selected item.
