Q: I have images that I want to use for the top level of the menu. How do I create a menu using images that were created in a different program? I tried to look in the frequently asked questions but IcouldnТt find anything that told me how. Thank you in advance for your help.
A: You can use any image for the top items.
You can set
var itemBackImage=["",""];
Or, create Individual style
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
The new method of making image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
Q: I was wondering if there is a way to disable links on a page for the script menu.I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and Idon't want the links to work.
A: To disable your menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
Q: If you look at our site in IE (PC) the deluxemenu looks great justified left w/ our logo justified right. When you look at it in Safari (Mac) the dhtml menu dropdown is stretched across the entire width of the page and our logo is no longer in view (yuk!).
A: Try to set exact width for the menu in 'px':
var menuWidth="300px";
Q: Do you plan to implement a fix in the cross browser drop down menu for the pointer - many of our users have complained that it is very un-intuitive - surely it must be possible to change the pointer to a hand if there is a link. I have tried putting <a> tags in to the menu labels, but it only changes to a hand if the actual label text is highlighted - it obviously should change whichever part of the box is highlighted? Is there no other workaround?
A: If you set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
You'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.
Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
