Q: I am testing your image based vertical menu. I am happy with it and about to buy the muti-site license if you can help me with one problem.
The menu looks different in IE compared to Firefox. In IE it is much smaller.
A: Try to specify units in "px":
var itemPadding="3px";
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150px"],
]
var menuStyles = [
["smHeight=200px"],
];
Try that.
Q: Is it possible to show a menu item in the simple navigation bar as selected by default to indicate what the current page is?
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page.
That is why you should write your own code on PHP.Q: I updated the files you talked about. I can see the javascript cascading menu on most computers, but not all. I am sorry to ask the same question over but my problem is persisting with some computers.
A: It is not correctly to add # symbol before the top item. This itemwill be hidden.

Now you have:
["#FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
You should write:
["FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
Q: How do I get the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame of a 3 vertical frameset.
The menu is in the first frame. I want the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame. I don't see how to set that parameter.
A: You should check your dm_initFrame() function.
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical.
You should write it, for example
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
