Recent Questions

Q: The spacing between each item of the top horizontal dropdown menu is uneven but I don't know why.

If you highlight them all it becomes more obvious.

It is almost as if the space after a 2 word link is twice the space after a one word link or else the total space after each link is related to the number of letters in the link.

For example the space after 'Discounts' is greater than the space after 'Home' but the space after 'Envelope Printing' is even greater.

A: You can try to set the following horizontal dropdown menu parameters:

  var menuWidth="";

  var itemPadding="0px 10px 0px 10px";



Q: We're interested in the pop up menu (context menu) you offered. Is it possible to generate multiple context menus at the same page?
Is the context menu also 508 compliant, in other words, keyboard accessible?

A: Yes, you can use as many context menus as you want on the same page.
You should call your data files at first

<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu1.js"></script>

<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> //1st menu
<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> //2nd menu

You can use keyboard in context menus but you have to click (or hover) the image. And only after your subitems appear you can press "Ctrl+F2" and arrow keys to navigate themenu.
But if you have multiple menus on one page and use keystrokes support you can navigate only the first menu.



Q: What I would like to achieve is a separator in the main menu list of a vertical menu.

I can get the separator to show in submenus but not the main menu.


A: You should write so:

  var separatorImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
  var separatorWidth="90%";
  var separatorHeight="3";
  var separatorAlignment="center";
  var separatorVImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
  var separatorVWidth="90%";
  var separatorVHeight="3";
  var separatorPadding="0px";


Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the dhtml pull down menu links on a page. (I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and I don't want the links to work).

Is this possible?

I can run this function across my other <A> tags (which sets them all to the current page), but it doesn't reach into the deluxe menu.

for(i=0;i document.links[i].href = "<?php echo(getURL($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]));?>>";
document.links[i].target = "_self";
}

A: To disable your dhtml pull down menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:

  var itemTarget="_";

Or you can disable items individually.

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
 ["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:

dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
