Q: We purchased the Deluxe Menu a few months ago and are extremely happy with the product. We have been getting great compliments about our new navigation system.
The menu has over 500 links and functions like a dream! One issue I am having, that I just cannot seem to figure out how to fix, is the following:
Our nav menu is displayed approx. 70 pixels from the top of the browser window. On the drop down links that have a number of items (example 1 in the image below), they display underneath the menu, however on the links that have only a few items, they display above the menu bar in java script as in example 2 in the image below.
How can I set it so that no matter how many drop-down items there are, they always display under the menu bar in java script, not on top?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
Q: My menu font is white. Is there a way to set the preview screen background color to something else than white?
Cause this is a problem as the main menu bar does not have a background color ( I want the background image of the page to shine through).
A: Yes, you can do it. Please open in any text editor the following file:
"C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menu\deluxe-tuner\data\deluxe-menu\preview.html"
You should set bgcolor parameter, for example:
bgcolor=#000000
Q: Where can I find the onClick code for the html javascript popup?
A: See you can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: I don't know anything about what JavaScript is all about...and I'm currently trying to get a menu that will float as I scroll down the page.
I saw the examples you have and I'd love to be able to do that on my website, but I don't understand the scripting that you have written there.
Like, what makes it float from this text...
A: If you want a floatable menu, you should set an absolute position forthe menu and paste the following code into your html page:
Paste the following code into <head> tag
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
Then set coordinates of top-left menu corner in the data .js file, forexample:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=30;
var posY=110;
Then set var floatable=1.
The parameter floatable=1 makes a floatable menu.
Also you can change any of menu parameters inside data .js file.
