Q: I purchased your menu and I am currently using it. I was trying to use the vista template with the images. Yet when I have an js dropdown menu item that is a little long in text the image breaks in to two buttons. Is there a way to fix this or is that just the way it is with these templates?
A: Images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000", "itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: I am just starting to work with deluxe menu for a site that I am developing. I will soon be going through the purchase of a license but have not yet reached that point.
At the moment though, as I build the framework for the site locally on my computer, I notice that the menu behave a looks differently in IE 6 and Firefox (I am focusing on a CSS base menu). Is this something that will be worked out once I have purchased the licensing key or is there something else that I am missing?
A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: I set a custom target at '_mainFrame' required by Dreamweaver to view in a particular frame. When I click my button it opens in its own window.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
A: Please, check the following code, for example
var itemTarget="_mainFrame";
["Galerie de photos","photos/index.php", "img/arrow_r.gif","img/arrow_o.gif", , "_self", , , , ],
or
["Galerie de photos","photos/index.php", "img/arrow_r.gif","img/arrow_o.gif", , "_mainFrame", , , , ],
I suppose that now you have such code
["Galerie de photos","photos/index.php", "img/arrow_r.gif","img/arrow_o.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
Q: I have set up the dhtml menu javascript at this site. I have chosen to use the transitional filter from IE6. The main menus and sub menus work fine in IE but in Firefox the sub menus do not appear at all. Is their a fix for this. I realize that firefox does not support IE transitions but Ithought the sub menus would appear when the main item is clicked on. that hs not happened. Go to above URL and vie in both IE and Firefox and you will see what I mean.
A: You couldn't see submenus in FF because you had
var transparency="";
You should set your parameters in the following way:
var transparency="100";
var itemBackColor=["#072450",""];
