Q: I want to have one of the drop menus in the horizontal navigation use a different image.
I am using the vista images and would like to have all of them but one use the same image
and the last one a different one. Can this be done?
A: You should create Individual Style for the last item and assign another image for it.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-01.files/btn_black.gif,
data-vista-01.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green.gif,data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green2.gif","fontStyle='normal 11px Tahoma','normal 11px Tahoma'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0

Q: Hi I have a menu item which has a word wrap on it. The word wrap it auto so instead of saying the following
Sickline Call
123456789
It says
Sickline Call 123
456789
I need to put either spaces in the title to level it out or a carage return
A: You can use any <html> code within menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Sickline Call<br>123456789","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: How do you change the back ground color of the menu?
menuBackColor just changes the pull down background.
I'm stuck with a blue background which i guess is the default.
I've looked at the parameters page for info, tried a few different items but none worked for changing the background.
I'm sure its something very obvious, but any help would be appreciated.
A: Please, don't forget to change also item background colors:
var itemBackColor = ["color", "color"];
Q: The only remaining problem I see is that the dhtml popup menu appears in slightly
different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.
Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon?
I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.
A: See dm_popup() function parameters:
return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place.
In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
