Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.

These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.


A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.

Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html

You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
];

Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a dynamic drop down menus with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.

I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.

A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>

Q: I want to activate script pop up by a hyperlink.

A: Drop down menu items is an array of arrays. It has the following structure:

  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];

where target is target for an item link.
Available values: _self, _blank, _parent, _search, _top.

So you can set the target value _blank for the items you need.

For example:

  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","http://deluxe-menu.com", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["Purchase","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
