Recent Questions

Q: Once more I have a small question about Deluxe Menu.
I have rewritten my homepage (still off-line) to use stylesheets instead of frames. But for some reason the drop down menu templates won't appear anymore.
Does DM need frames or can it also work without frames? I would suppose that it can also work on a page with no frames. But for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.


A: If you don't use frames there is no need to write your init functionin the following way:

dm_initFrame("lower", 0, 1, 1);

That is way you cannot see your menu.
Please, write:

dm_init();


Q: I am trying out your program and it's really sweet. I have 1 little problem. I created the menu everything works in IE7. In firefox the menu is about 4 or 5 px longer. It seems like in firefox there is a border around each top level item although I have set all borders to 0 (I can see that because I have set roolover color of background to opposite of normal color)


A: Try to set exact width for the menu in "px".

For example:
  var menuWidth="600px";


Q: Last, I couldn't solve the issue I meet when I set up a long name for an dhtml side menu item: next item overlaps. Is it possible to specify the width of an item?

A: You can try to use the following dhtml side menu parameters to use combinedbackground for your items:

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';

But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif



Q: Is it possible via code customization to remove the border only for the top level of popup navigation
and subsequent menu levels with the border?
If yes, would you provide technical assistance with the required code change?

A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];

And assign it for top items:

  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
