Q: When doing a mouseover over the menu options, the java menu web submenus are supposed to all drop down. However, some of the submenus go up instead of down. How do I fix that?
A: You should set the following java menu web parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
Q: Can I create menus with cross-frame capability using your drop down menu generator?
With the menu beingin one frame and the submenus opening to the other frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: When I want to have the same width of each item I use the individuel styles sometime it works and sometime not
A: See, when you use Individual styles to set the width for your items
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=150px"],
];
you should check that you haven't set the exact width for the menu
var bmenuWidth="250px";
Please, check it.
Q: I have been using Deluxe Menu quite a bit, but am now running into a problem on a site I developed. When I add a submenu, it appears separated by about 100 pixels down. In this case I left it on the Menu Item “Why Maumelle” for you to look at.
Can you help me out?
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:relative"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
For example, you should add style="position:relative;"
to the
<DIV class=MainBody>
<DIV class=Banner></DIV>
<DIV class=Menu>
So, you'll have:
<DIV class=MainBody style="position:relative;">
<DIV class=Banner></DIV>
<DIV class=Menu style="position:relative;">
Now we have only such solution for this problem.
We'll try to fix this problem in the future versions.
