Q: I am currently having a look at the use of your drop down menu and was wondering if there was an option to make all of the top menu links the same size?
At current It looks like it is on a percentage increase related to the amount of text, can I change this to a fixed value no matter the text amount?
A: You can use Individual Item Style.
Use that parameter:
var itemWidth=100px
Width of an item (px, % or other units).
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150"], // style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home", "index.html", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "Home Page Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
["About", "about.html", "myicon3.gif", "myicon4.gif", "About Us Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
];
Q: I am having a problem trying to figure out how to generate a link to a popup window.
I looked at what you have on your site but it is not clear to me.
A: You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on your
page. 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>
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.
Or you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or onMouseout on a link.
So, you should create a link (you can also use other object) on your page and set id="" for it,
forexample:
<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>
In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: first - the deluxe menu is a nice tool, greatly.
but I have 2 little problems:
- I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, I can't found the parameter
- I wish the actual site (dhtml vertical menu item) in another colour
A: > - I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, i cant found the parameter
Check that you have correct
var menuWidth="";
parameter.
You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
> - I wish the actual site (menu item) in another colour
You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"], //style0
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];
Q: I've just put together a new drop down menu box for one of the sites I'm working on and whilst in IE it works fine, in FF the drop down menu box is not appearing over the Flash banner.
I don't understand why as this was put together with the latest version of Deluxe Menu - my understanding was that this issue was resolved a while back?
Can you help me sort this.
A: See fix for flash in Firefox here:
