Q: I was wondering if you could help me. I have recently done a site and put a menu into the site
The basic javascript menu is on the top of the screen but it has lines through each of the menus just after the words and before the arrow on each of them. I have stretched the menu out to cover the whole of the top of the page but i need to get these lines out of the menu.
Can you please help me with this problem?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21):
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: I now have a menu that I like. Works great, but not with the Explorer browser. Works perfectly with Firefox and Opera. Doesn't work with Explorer. I tried using Explorer installed on several computers at different installations - at home, work and at a friends house. So it doesn't appear to be anything specific to my version. I don't have high security enabled.
Can you identify my problem? I've spent hours trying to fix this.
A: Please, see your menu parameters. Now you have:
var itemBackColor = ["#0","#ffffff"];
It is not right.
You should write for example so:
var itemBackColor = ["#0000FF","#ffffff"];
Q: How I make sure, that long menu items in dhtml menu sample can wrap into two lines?
A: You should set the following parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Or use standard <br> tags inside item's text:
["International Music X Home<br>Decoration X Books","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],Q: In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
What does that mean?
Also, my client is still seeing the "incorrect key" notice.
A: Regina, you can see "Incorrect Key" message if you use the wrong reg.
key or if you forgot to paste your reg. key into your data file.
I've checked your reg. key. It is correct.
So, you cannot see such message on your website.
Your client should clear browser cache.
> In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"> language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
>> I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
Both these lines mean the same.
Please, paste <noscript> tag
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com </a></noscript>
into the <head> tag on the pages with your menu.
