Q: I am rewriting my homepage in CSS but now I have another problem with the DeLuxe menu.
The javascript top menu is well positioned on the page but the submenus are not.
The submenus are not positioned aside the javascript top menu but lower and far to much to the right.
I changed the variables
var posX = 100;
var posY = 100;
var absolutePos = 1;
var topDX = 0;
var topDY = 0;
var DX = -3;
var DY = 0;
var subMenuAlign = "left";
var subMenuVAlign = "top";
Sometimes when I change the variables the submenus are well positioned and then, after enlarging the IE-window, they are not.
What can I do?
A: It is possible that you have some problems with your css styles.
See, the problem is that the javascript top menu 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: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute;"
to the
<div id="block">
Q: How to select a different background (colour or images) in the link drop down menu?
A: Actually you can create any menu you like with Deluxe Menu.
You can use Individual Styles to set background image(color) for the items
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackColor=#FFF000,#AAAAAA","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,
deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
];
oryou can use images instead of icons (you should delete item's text).
["","", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_green.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],Q: My office-colleague gilles petremand just bought your "deluxe menu" and all-in-all it looks great!!!!

Q: How can I set the padding for the menu text at the top for the javascript select menu? I want more padding on the left of the text but I don't want it centered.
A: You can set bigger left padding for your Submenu Style, for example:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 25px"],
];
itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 25px - top right bottom left
