Q: I am trying the menu and facing one problem…
The text is too large and doesn't wrap around.. instead it makes the dhtml menu layers wider.
My dhtml menu layers needs to be 175 px only.. if there are to many characters in the link, I like it to wrap around to the next line…
Any options?
A: You should set the following dhtml menu layers parameter:
var noWrap=0;
You can also use standard <br> tags inside item's text:
["All Card <br>Envelopes","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: How do I set the width of sub menu items to be the same width as the parent horizontal dhtml menu item? I can see how to set a px or % width, and when the at least one sub menu item exceeds the parent item the the entire menu stretches to that width (which is fine), but what about the instance where the sub menu items are not as wide as the parent item - in this case, the sub menu is not as wide as the parent item, which looks odd. Is there any way to force it to be (at least) the same width as the parent item?
I hope this is all clear to you, if not, please give me a shout for clarification.
A: You can set exact width for your top items using Individual Item Styles and set submenu width usingIndividual Submenu Style.
You should also set the following parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Q: Now I need to work out how to add multiple menu's to a page? Are you able to reference these separately - is this possible.
The page that I am creating lists out notes from our system - there is a "options" button to the right of each note - when the cursor hovers over this button I want to dynamically load themenu's. On any page there could be over a 100 of these "option" buttons and the menu that would load from each option button could be different and specific to the note.
A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.
You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then call your data files:
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Q: I'm interested in to buy the product of yours: deluxe-menu. But I've got a dude.
I've been working with the trial version, but I haven't been able to put HTML code within the javascript pop menu Item, in order to do actions like opening a new URL, or opening a file or page with .htm extension.
A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='search
the web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
["test","testlink.html","",]
["<a href='testlink.html'> test </a>","","",]
