Q: We are testing your css drop down menu and everything is fine, except for the slow load in IE7.
After the page is loaded, the first time we open each item it takes a lot of time to appear.
Do you have any solution for this problem?
A: Check that you've set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=0;
You can also try to turn off transitional effects:
var transition=-1;
And adjust the following parameters:
var smShowPause=100;
var smHidePause=500;
Q: Please tell me where I am going wrong:
The menu is all messed up!
A: See, now you have:
var itemBackImage=["data.files/btn_green.gif","data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif"];
and you also assign Individual Item Style with itemBackImage anditemWidth parameters for each item
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#000000,#000000",
"itemBackImage=data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif,data.files/btn_white_white.gif"],
];
var menuItems = [
["projects","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["FMWR","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["general water info","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["bulletin board","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["WSS MDG tracking","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["reform instruments","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
You should delete itemBackImage and itemWidth parameters from itemStyles.
Q: Is there any way can we display sub level menu items on mouse over of first level menu items using tabs (Text Style Javascript Dhtml Tab / Java Script Tab Script Text Style / Javascript Tab Navigation Text Style / Javascript Tabbed Menus XP Style)
A: Unfortunately, you can do it on mouseover with Deluxe Tabs.
But you can create such menu using Deluxe Menu.
Q: Where do I increase the width of the javascript menu bars for each entry? Some of my links are a bit longer than the image and it's causing it to use part of another gif to cover it. Sorry not sure if I even explained that right. Let me know if this makes sense.
A: I suppose that you're using Vista style templates.
The width of vista images is 94px. If the width of your menu itemis wider than 94px you should correct the width of the images in anygraph editor, for example in Photoshop. You should set the width ofthese images 120px and set the following parameter:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=bold 10pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#F8FF95","itemBackImage=columbine.files/btn_orange.gif,columbine.files/btn_orange2.gif"],
];
You can also try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items:
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 ='';
