Q: I installed licensed files, entered the key and now the menu appears broken.
You will see under the "Contact Us" image there is a gray line that makes it look broken. I am using IE 6.0.
The line doesn't appear in Firefox. What solution is there to this?
A: The line which you can see on your website is a shadow. You can see it only in IE.
Please see menu parameters, they contains:
var shadowLen=3;
Try to write so:
var shadowLen=0;
var shadowColor="#777777";
var shadowTop=1;
Q: How change the color of the link in the dhtml vertical menu if the link is already visited.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
butyou can highlight menu items in two ways:
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"< var pressedItem=3;</script>
...<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

Q: I am trying to make the tabs all the same width and would like to know how to do that. Therefore "Personal", "Account Summary", "Tax Exemptions", "Password", "Invoices", "Quotes", "VOIP" - I need them to all be the EXACT SAME width.
A: See, I've created Individual style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=250px"], // style 0
];
And used this style for some items
["Account Summary","AccountSummary", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif","tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "",], // style 0
["Tax Exemptions","TaxExemptions", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "", ], // style 0
You can use this style for all items in the same way.
You should set the width of your Tabs
var bmenuWidth="770px";
and width for each Tab
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=110px"], // style 0
];
And assign this style for all items.
Q: I have images that I want to use for the top level of the menu. How do I create a menu using images that were created in a different program? I tried to look in the frequently asked questions but IcouldnТt find anything that told me how. Thank you in advance for your help.
A: You can use any image for the top items.
You can set
var itemBackImage=["",""];
Or, create Individual style
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
The new method of making image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
