Q: How do I make the top nav buttons exactly the same width for each button?
Total menu width is 743px and I have 6 buttons I want the width of each button to be fixed at 123px.
I set var menuWidth="743" but it averages out the buttons based on the text.
A: You should use individual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=123px"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style 0
Q: I purchased your menu and I am currently using it. I was trying to use the vista template with the images. Yet when I have an js dropdown menu item that is a little long in text the image breaks in to two buttons. Is there a way to fix this or is that just the way it is with these templates?
A: Images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000", "itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
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 ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: Can you tell me if I can eliminate the transparent look of the dhtml rollover?
When the menu drops down over text, you can see the text.
What can Ido to fix it.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var transparency="100";
Q: I have an even more vexing issue. For some reason my arrows are showing up on the left side of each java dhtml menu item, it seems the arrows icons are also retaining the right side padding for the java dhtml menu items. Can you give me a hand with this?
A: Now you have the following java dhtml menu parameter:
var dmRTL=1;
You should set it to:
var dmRTL=0;
