Q: I am interested in purchasing the developer license for Deluxe menu, but I wanted to see if I can use the trial version to accomplish what I need. You have an example of what I need on
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/ ("click here to open window"). I would like to click on a navigation menu link and have a pop up window linking to a url.
I got as far as being able to link the website in the pop up, but not exactly sure how you make a link that you can click to display the pop up.
A: Delete 'openAfter=' at all from deluxePopupWindow.attachToEventfunction:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')
In that case popup window won't show till you click on the link.
Q: Hi there. I need to be able to customize the x & y coordinates of each submenu in the javascript horizontal menu. I don't see such a control in the GUI interface. How can I do this?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to set these parameters for eachsubmenu individually. You can set them for all submenus.
Use the following parameters ('Positioning' section):
var topDX=0;
var topDY=1;
var DX=-5;
var DY=0;
Q: You have been great help, but this will not work for me. All I want is the dropdown menu javascript I have attached to have these colors on the seperate top items. I just cannot make the software work . As soon as I get this done I promise to leave you alone

A: You should create 6 Individual Styles and assign them to you topitems.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#0000ff,#0000ff","showByClick=0"], //style 0
["itemBackColor=#FF00FF,#FF00FF","showByClick=0"], //style 1

["itemBackColor=#FFFF00,#FFFF00","showByClick=0"], //style 4
["itemBackColor=#FF0000,#FF0000","showByClick=0"], //style 5
];

You can also set

Q: Where do I increase the width of the javascript menu bars for each entry? Some of my links are a bit longer than the image and it's causing it to use part of another gif to cover it. Sorry not sure if I even explained that right. Let me know if this makes sense.
A: I suppose that you're using Vista style templates.
The width of vista images is 94px. If the width of your menu itemis wider than 94px you should correct the width of the images in anygraph editor, for example in Photoshop. You should set the width ofthese images 120px and set the following parameter:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=bold 10pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#F8FF95","itemBackImage=columbine.files/btn_orange.gif,columbine.files/btn_orange2.gif"],
];
You can also try to use the following parameter 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 ='';
