Q: I am a registered user, and I really like your menu system.
With my old menu system the user could right click on a menu item and the browser would display an option to open the page in a "New Tab".
Is there any way in the javascript menu html to allow the user to choose to open a link in a new tab?.
My users are restricted to using IE.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
Try that.
Q: The first is that for some reason my item separator image will not show. I have tried everything.. and no matter what I do the image will not show. I designed a graphic that is 2 pixels high and is the width of the total menu. The first problem is that the graphic wont show at all.. and I do not know why. Secondly, I am now thinking that I would like to use the separator graphic on all levels of the menu.. but this creates a another issue.. as the width of the submenus varies based on the length of the text displayed. How then can I have a separator image work in the submenus?
A: Try to write you Item Styles so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#D7F5FE,#FFFFFF",
"fontColor=#A0A0A0,#A0A0A0","fontDecoration=none,none"],
["itemBackColor=#6DD0FE,#00ACFC","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid",
"itemBorderColor=#6DD0FE,#FFFFFF"],
];
See the normal item border color.
You didn't paste separator into your menuItems.

Q: When I check my website for accessibility it shows NoAlt on the dhtml drop down menu!.
Where do I add an alt tag in the data file?
A: You should use the fifth parameter in menuItems
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
For example:
["Home","index.htm", "", "", "Home", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Bio","bio.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Bio", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Destiny History","history.htm", "", "", "Destiny History", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Contact Destiny","contact.htm", "", "", "Contact Destiny", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Itinerary","itinerary.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Itinerary", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I am trying to get my submenu to be all black along with the main menu item that I am hovering over.
But I cannot do it.
A: Now you have
["|About Us","About_Us", , , ,"Tip Text" , , , ,"0"],
it is not right. You should write
["|About Us","About_Us", , ,"Tip Text", , ,"0",],
