Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a menu with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: I've tried to add the pathPrefix_img as suggested and I'm still having trouble with images.
Can you provide anymore feedback on what I'm doing wrong?
A: Now you have such paths:
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";
and
var arrowImageMain=["CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
So, the full path we'll be:
http://www.domain-name.com/images/CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif
Is it right?
I've tried to download your image from this link. There is no such image.
If you want to put all your images into the "images" folder you should write so:
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";
and
var arrowImageMain=["arrv_white_1.gif",""];
Please, check that you upload all your images on the server in the right places.
Q: How can I open the link in a new window with your DHTML MENU?
A: Please, try to set that parameter in your data.js file:
var itemTarget="_blank";
Q: I have already tried this exact same method, using and alternate "itemBackColor" and this is not what I needed. As you can see in your example putting in an item back color only give you a different bg color on the item itself, but the BG of the menu around it remains the same. In your example the lighter bg color of my menu is surrounding the item bg color making this look more like a mistake and poor design.
It do use the item bg color for the rollover in my menu, as you can see, but implementing this does not give me what I need. I need the BG color behind this item to be completely flush with the sides of the menu.
I had already checked the menu system thoroughly before contacting you and I was well aware of the option.. but as you can see this is not the solution. It is very important to me that this looks perfect, and what I need is not built into this menu by default.. I need another solution.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var itemSpacing=0;
You can also try to paste separators between items.
