Q: The problem I am having is specfically on the home page. The Navigation dhtml horizontal menu is at the top of the page. There are also Flash documents on this page only. When you go to the dhtml horizontal menu and select and option that has Sub-Items and position your mouse over those items, when the menu expands to show all of the text, it is cut off on theright side, this only occurres when there is a flash document behind the menu. All of the other pages work fine.

Do you have any idea why this occurrs? I have tried several things to fix this, but no luck. Is there a fix for this?

A: Try to set exact width for your sub menus. You can do it usingIndividual Submenu style:

  var menuStylesNames=["Top Menu","width1","width2",];
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=5px 6px 5px 6px"],
["smWidth=100px"],
["smWidth=210px"],
];

Q: first - the deluxe menu is a nice tool, greatly.

but I have 2 little problems:
- I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, I can't found the parameter
- I wish the actual site (dhtml vertical menu item) in another colour

A: > - I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, i cant found the parameter
Check that you have correct
  var menuWidth="";
parameter.

You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.

> - I wish the actual site (menu item) in another colour
You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"], //style0
];

  var menuItems = [

["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];



Q: I have menus generated by you deluxe menu package . They look fine on all my computer but look bad on my friends computer.
Can this be fixed?


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

Try to specify all units in "px", for example:

  var menuHeight="22px";

Try to set exact width for menu item
  var menuWidth="736px";

Try also not to set
  var smWidth="0";
  var smHeight="0";

Please, see the attached data file.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: I am conisdering purchasing your menu generator product, however I have a question that is very important to me.

How can I add a separator to the dhtml menu examples using the dynamic functions? It seems as though the only way to get a separator into the menu is by defining it before hand, but the website I'm building will require me to reload the menus dinamically, and I'm losing the ability to put separators on it.

If there's a workaround for it, or if there's a chance that you can give me a prototype function that exposes that functionality, that would be acceptable as well.

A: You should add items using the following function:

function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
or
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)

Find more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html

Set the following parameter:
  var dm_writeAll=1;

So, you should write:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 4,  ["|-", "", "", "", "", "", "", ])
