Q: I am trying to placed a separator image in between each item in my css vertical dropdown menu. I have placed the image in the seperator field and it will not display. How can I get an image to be a separator in between items on my css vertical dropdown menu?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in css vertical dropdown menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in css vertical dropdown menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: I'm having a major problem centering html menu navigation in a table.
No matter what I try, the menu stays on the left ofthe table.
Do you have any suggestions?
A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the following
parameter and install the menu in the following way:
var absolutePos=0;
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/dmenu.js"></script>
</div>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.
Here is my code:
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowWidthSub=0;
var arrowHeightSub=0;
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?
A: You should check the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";
Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.
For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html
In menu.js file you should write:
var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
Q: I created a test page with your product. I have a frame page consisting of a header and content.
The drop down menus are in the header and cross nicely into the content frame when they drop down. This part is working as planned! The first time I open the test page in my browser any link in any drop down menu will work the first time just fine.
Then, if I pick another link in any drop down menu, it appends the address of the first link to the address of the second link and the URL fails.
It is acting like it writes the url for the first link into some variable, then forgets to null it on select, and then appends the url for the second link to the variable. As I click links in different drop down menus it keeps doing this append feature until I have a very long worthless URL path. If I close the browser and start over then the first thing I click on will work properly, but that is all that will work.
I tried this test page on two different PCs, just in case there was a problem on my browsers. MS IE.6.0
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
