Q: I'm struggling with one last issue on my navigation. When you have a screen resolution about the same size as the site width, when a sub menu pops up, It displays sometimes to the left of the first drop down menu list rather than the left. Is there a way of changing the way this displays if the screen size is smaller than 800px wide or so.
A: If there is no enough room on the right side of your browser windowdrop down menu list submenus will be shown on the left side.
Q: I ordered & installed the dhtml collapsable menu.
I can't seem to get the floating function to work. Here's how I have the variables set in the data-tree.js file:
var tfloatable = 1;
var tfloatIterations = 10;
var tfloatableX = 0;
var tfloatableY = 1;
And here are the links to the .js files in my HTML doc <head>:

Please let me know if there are any other settings that need to be changed. I'm hoping to go live with this site wed. so a quck reply is appreciated.
A: Notice, your dhtml collapsable menu won't float with relative position. You shouldset:
var tabsolute=1;
Q: Can you tell me what fields control the lines around the top level of menu items?
What fields control the lines around each sub-menu item?
I would like to test and see if the program will allow me to create a top menu that displays as follows:
Home | Proposal Reponses | Marketing Info |
As you can see I would like no borders around the top level and a tilda (vertical line) separator between each top level menu item.
For the sub-menu items I would like there to be a thin line box around the sub-menu but no lines in between each item within the sub-menu. What fields control these paramenters?
A: Home | Proposal Reponses | Marketing Info |
Yes, you can create such menu.
Please, use Individual styles.
Set these parameters:
var menuBorderWidth=1;
var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=0"], //style 0
];
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , "0", , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
To add lines between main items you can paste the separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: I've seen, that it's possible to open the linked contents for the javascript floating menu in the same or in a new window or in a frame ,but is it possible, too, to generate a new tab?Open a new tab seems to be less risky ... is there any solution to beused with Drop Down Menu? I tried to use "_tab" instead of "_self" or"_parent", but it did not work!
A: You should use _blank.
If your browser supports tabs your link will beopened in a new tab (except IE, in IE it will be opened in a newwindow).
