  var itemStyles = [

];

Or will I have to make all the main menu items/graphics the same width?


A: You don't have to change your dmenu_add.js file.
Please, place this file in the folder where your menu iscreated in.

Yes, you can set itemWidth for each main item.

Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.

You should write, for example, so:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
  var menuItems = [

["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],

["","", "data.files/demoCenter.gif", "data.files/demoCenter_mo.gif", , ,"1", , , ],

["","", "data.files/resources.gif", "data.files/resources_mo.gif", , ,"2", , , ],

["","support.htm", "data.files/support.gif", "data.files/support_mo.gif", , "_self","4", , , ],

Q: Can data be loaded dynamically in the free drop down menu? For example, can you load the child of a node once the node is clicked on.

A: You can use AJAX like technology.

http://deluxe-menu.com/ajax-technology-menu-sample.html

You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>

The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: Will all your navigation bar examples work cross-frame?

A: See how should you create cross frame menu:

1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.

Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>

Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: We want to evaluate Delux Menu(DM). But before doing any testing I want to ask few questions.

-#1 Can DM support context menus on right click with in a DIV and on a button click.

ex: I have a Options button on the web page and also a DIV which is transformed using xml and xsl.

Onclick of the button and right click within the DIV area should popup the same menu.

I have various DIVs and each DIV has its own context menu.

-#2 Any issues like IE memory leaks by using DM. I am asking this we are having some issues with the present menu control we are using. IE hangs up when the web page is idle for more than 20 mins.


A: 1. Deluxe Menus supports such a feature. Please, go tohttp://deluxe-menu.com, section "Samples->Functional Samples->Popup Menu"

You can create any number of menus on a page.

2. We don't know about such a problem with Deluxe Menu. Please, try atrial version of DM. It has a full functionality.
