Q: I would like to use your menu for a website I am building of which will only exists on a CD ROM.
Is it possible to purchase a license that will operate the html drop down menu on a CD ROM preventing the ‘Incorrect license’ message from appearing?
A: To use Deluxe Menu on CD/DVD you should buy developerlicense. Other licenses allow you to use the html drop down menu on Internet/Intranetwebsites only.
Q: I am a web developer and evaluating your product using the Trial Version. I created navigation bar for our website.
It is displaying fine (centered) when using Internet Explorer 7.0. When I access the same website using FireFox Browser, the java drop down menu code aligns on the left.
A: It is not correct to write
align=middle
you should write
align=center
You should set the following menu parameters:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
Q: I replaced the code you suggested and I downloaded the current version of Deluxe-Tuner. I also removed the Javascript roll-overs I had elsewhere on the page and created the text.
I still get 'Error on page' when I hover over the first java scrolling menu item.
Please help! I need to buid this site out by Monday.
A: Now you have several errors in your data file:
var menuBackColor="f9f9ec";
You should write:
var menuBackColor="#f9f9ec";
The following parameters cannot be empty:
var menuBorderWidth="0";
var itemBorderWidth="0";
It is not correct to write the java scrolling menu parameter in the following way:
var itemBorderStyle=["1px","1px"];
You should write:
var itemBorderStyle=["none","none"];
If you want to add borders in the subitems you should write:
var itemBorderWidth="1";
var itemBorderColor=["#c59d1f","#c59d1f"];
var itemBorderStyle=["solid","solid"];
And to remove border from the top items you should create Individualstyle and assign it to the top items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=0","itemBorderStyle=none,none"],
];
["","", "/images/nav_OFF_01.gif", "/images/nav_ON_01.gif", "", "","0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["","", "/images/nav_OFF_02.gif", "/images/nav_ON_02.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
...
Q: I'm trying out your menus, and I seem to have a problem with changing the title of a menu item. If the text is something like "Create a New Event" the entire menu spreads out and the rollover image starts replicating itself behind it, instead fo stretching with the text. So I see 1 /2 rollover images for that top level item, instead of just the one, width it's width spread out to accomodate the extra text.
I've tried the Styles bit, but that doesn't seem to fix the rollover image any...
Any pointers ?
A: You can try to set the exact width for each menu item using IndividualItem Styles.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style0
["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style1
["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style2
["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style3
];
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],
...
[" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", , , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.
You also should check the width of your rollover image. It should bethe same width as your items.
You can also use
tags in the item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["line 1
line 2"],
];
Or you can set this parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Try that.
