Q: I'm using your DHTML menu product.
I've read the parameters but am unable to make the drop down menu links stop spawning a new window on click.
I love the product and want to use it on my web but I've got to make it stop having babies! Have you some advice for me or a FAQ page you can send?
A: You should use the following parameter
var itemTarget = "_self";
Please, see also individual items targets, for example:
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".

Q: We recently bought your product.
We are developing in ASP.NET (VB) and we have a problem making you deluxe menu dynamic to suit our needs. We are using the Deluxe Menu.
The problem is each time a page with dhtml nav loads, we want to be able to generate the menuItems variable to reflect the options the individual user has, so it can't be hard coded into data.js it MUST be provided by an aspx file and attached somehow. I can't work out how to attach the variable (even a static one) as a separate file, so if you can do it with a static one, we can extend it to a dynamic one later.
For example the JS in the data.js file we want the MenuItem dimension you be loaded in a seperate file, some kind of include.
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About","about.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact","contact.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Help","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|HowTo Register","RegHelp.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|FAQ","FAQ.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dos 'n' Don'ts","DoDont.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Workshop","workshop.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Gold Run","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About Goldrun","goldrunAbout.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Veiw Sites","GoldDistribSites.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["My Run","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","aboutmyrun.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["TICs","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","abouttics.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Metro","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","aboutmetro.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Distribution","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","DistribAbout.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Status","DistribStatus.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|News","DistribNews.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Display Units","DistribDisplay.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Team","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|View Sites","DistribSites.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|TIC Budget","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Hope this makes sense.
A: You can move
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
dhtml nav code from your data file to your page (template) directly:
<script>
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
Q: We are using Deluxe Menu for our website. When developing a new menu with longer text we are facing an issue.
JS Code for a menu item (Ajax technology):
[' Introduction &<br>Search Terms',
'/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,''
,'/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],
Code as above is used to create a the following menu:
We are using <br> as the menu text is too long but the problem we are facing is the space between two line of web menu text.
Can you please let me know how we can reduce the space?
A: You can write your text in the following way:
["<div style='line-height: 10px'> Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>",
"/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/","","","","" ,"" ,""
,"/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js",],
or
['<div style="line-height: 10px"> Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>', '/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'','/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],
