Q: Now I wonder what I have to do in my script to make dhtml sub menu be displayed horizontal instead of vertical. I want them to display vertical be left - aligned and be shown by a white Background. How can I achieve this?
A: You should set the following parameters:
var smColumns=0;
var smOrientation=1; //horizontal orientation of submenus
set white backcolor for submenus
["itemWidth=60px","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderWidth=0","itemBorderStyle=none,",
"itemBorderColor=#FFFFFF,", "fontColor=#404040,#404040","fontDecoration=none,underline"],
Q: I am looking to integrate your menu system into a CMS (Content Management System) such as Joomla. I was curious if you have any supporting documentation as to any steps that could make this any easier; or if its anything you have looked at previously. I know some menu systems actually have export modules in which it will export their system to a CMS compatible template; does this menu software have any of the functionality; or modules (even 3rd party modules) that perform similar function?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Joomla extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application
(included into the trial package): http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Please, try the trial version.
Q: Am I under the correct assumption that if the inner menu item text expands past the ItemWidth or MenuWidth (being that the Width is set -- eg 150px), that the javascript menu div width will expand past it's boundaries instead of wrapping the text? (eg. A text like "Please Make this Wrap instead of expand the width boundary" seems to expand the container's width rather than wrap)
A: There are 2 ways to do that:
1. set
var noWrap=0;
2. use <br> tags, for example:
var menuItems = [
["line 1<br>line 2"],
];
Q: One more query, can we remove the following line from all the pages,
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>Javascript Menu byDeluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
As the script <noscript> tags are used in body section of webpage and when we use this in Head tag, it is creating a problem for us. Will removing this line would cause some problem in working of menu, as now a days every browser in the world supports JavaScripts.
A: You cannot delete the following line:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
Your menu won't work without this line.
You can try to move the following code in the <body> tag. Try that.
