Q: Drop Down Menu could be the best solution for my website ... but Ihave one important question: I've seen, that it's possible to open the javascript change menu linked contents in the same or in a new window or in a frame ... but is it possible, too, to generate a new tab? To open a new window often is not possible, because most users have popup-blockers installed. And to open the contents in the same window drives the user away from the main page! Open a new tab seems to be less risky ... is there any solution to be used 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).
Q: How do I create more space between the menu items?
I have tried adding to the Item Appearance, itemSpacing and itemPadding.
A: You can paste the separator.
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"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
var itemPadding = "2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: I played with it and I got the tabs java script horizontal menu to work. but having problems with them:
1. I want the tabs to open when you mouse over them, not when you click. Is it possible to do this?
2. I want the tabs to close when your mouse leave them. Can I do this?
3. It keeps saying "Incorrect key" when you click on them. Is it possible to fix them?
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible in Deluxe Tabs.
But you can use Deluxe Menu to create such java script horizontal menu.
To create such menu you should set the following parameters:
var smOrientation=1; //horizontal orientation of submenus
var subMenuAlign="pleft"; //submenu position (left align)
var smHidePause=-1; //your submenus won't be hidden till you click orscroll the page.
"Incorrect Key" message means that you didn't paste your reg. key into data.js filewith your menu.
You should paste your key parameter into .js file where your java script horizontal menuparameters (vars) and items ( var bmenuItems) are placed.You should paste the following code at the beginning of the file:
/*
Deluxe Menu Data File
Created by Deluxe Tuner v3.2
http://deluxe-menu.com
*/
var key="XXXXXX";
// -- Deluxe Tuner Style Names
Where XXXXX the key from your license message.
Try to clear also browser cache.
Notice your key will work on registered domain only. It won't work onlocal machine.
Q: Does horizontal drop down menu works with JSP? How can I do that?
A: Deluxe Menu is the Javascript product. It means that it works on aclient side only and it doesn't depend on the server which you'reusing and it doesn't work on a server side as JSP script.
So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .jsp page.
