Q: I can’t seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual horizontal menu items for the html menu. I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
Q: I regret to inform you that I have not fail understand, how can change place of the icon in software Deluxe Tuner(Menu).
A: You should add icons for the item in the "Item Parameters" window.
Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
But you should add "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif" iconin the "Item Parameters" window.
So you will have in your menuItems
var menuItems = [
["New Item","testlink.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],

Q: I see that you have the demo of the menu working over a frame so that it displays over the lower frame, vertical top to bottom.
However I have played around with your demo and can't seem to replicate the same feature.
Could you please tell me what I have to set to make the easy dropdown menu float over the lower framed window?
A: 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.
For example, for the following structure:
<frameset id="frmSet" rows="185,*">
<frame id="frame1" src="cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm">
<frame id="frame2" name="testlink.htm" scrolling="no">
</frameset>
the dm_initFrame() function call at the end of data.js file will look like:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
Q: Our requirement is to design a website using Cross Frame Menu ,
in allcombinations like Horizontal Menu with sub menus Vertical Menu with sub menus
Let me know the necessary information to create Cross Frame Menu using your side dropdown menu..
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);
