Q: I'm trying out your cool dropdown menu code.

I'm trying to rebuild my menu like this one

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-3-03-template-sample.html

I have a problem. In my case, I have some really long labels and some short ones. In some cases my text is larger than the button (see attachment). In your example all the buttons have the same width. Is it possible to have a Vista styled menu with different width for the buttons?

A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).

If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.

btn_cyan.gif
btn_cyan2.gif

You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.

You should also change items width in your Individual Item Style.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_cyan.gif,btn_cyan2.gif"],
];

You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.



Q: Now, one more little question -

in a Tree menu, I know how to make a menu expand by default and expand only on a mouse click.

However, I believe there is a way to make a menu item expand on a "mouse over" without a click.

How can this be done?


A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to expand the tree menu onmouseover now. It is possible that we'll add this feature in the nextversion.


Q: When doing a multi-frame frameset (1 top frame, 2 bottom frames) like this:

<frameset ID="frames" ONLOAD="getBottom()" ROWS="50, *" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="no" FRAMESPACING="0">
   <frame NAME="frmTop" SRC="top.htm" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER="0" />
    <frameset ID="bottomFrames" cols="171,*">
     <frame name="frmLeft" src="left.htm" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER="0"/>
     <frame name="frmMain" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZEFRAMEBORDER="0" />
    </frameset>
</frameset>


And using the dm_frameinit like this:
dm_initFrame("[object]", 0, 2, 0);

it works fine in IE -> the menus are displayed exactly under the text and in the bottom right frame.

However, in Firefox, the menu drop down is displayed to the right of the top menu text, and exactly the number of pixels as the width of the left frame.

Perhaps there needs to be some FireFox checking to fix this?
Can you help me with that?


A: The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.

You should create the following frameset structure:

 --|------------
   | menu
 --|------------
   |
   | submenus
   |

Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.


Q: I'm looking at purchasing your product but have one small problem. I'm using the expandable menu and would like to have the menu save the state when reloading or refreshing the browser.
Can this be done with the expandable menu? If so, what is the syntax?


A: I advise you to use Deluxe Tree, http://deluxe-tree.com/. This is a newer version of Dhtml TreeMenu.

You should use the following parameter:

  var tsaveState = 1;

Example, you can find here:
