Q: I want to have one of the drop menus use a different image.
I am using thevista images and would like to have all of them but one use the same imageand the last one a different one. Can this be done?
If not I was able to adda second menu with the different image but for some reason the second menuwill not drop down. Can you help me with either of these?
A: You should create Individual Style for the last item and assign another image for it.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-01.files/btn_black.gif,data-vista-01.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green.gif,data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green2.gif","fontStyle='normal11px Tahoma','normal 11px Tahoma'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0
...
["Purchase","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style 1];
Q: I want to activate script pop up by a hyperlink.
A: Drop down menu items is an array of arrays. It has the following structure:
var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
where target is target for an item link.
Available values: _self, _blank, _parent, _search, _top.
So you can set the target value _blank for the items you need.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","http://deluxe-menu.com", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dynamic Functions","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Purchase","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Q: Can your dhtml popup menu work in conjunction with a scroll wheel?
A: You cannot scroll submenus using scroll wheel when you set
var smSmartScroll=1;
To scroll your submenu you should move your mouse.
But you can use scroll wheel when you set
var smSmartScroll=0;
Q: The menu has a problem with newlines. The menu builds correctly (layout ok) but when pressed on the button nothing happens
At some point, in the DHTML menu, we have the following in the javascript:
var menuitems = [
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,] ]
As you can see we have a newline (\n) between the words "screen" and "will". But when we click on the button nothing happens. If we remove the newline and we click on the button then we first get the alert box. After pressing the OK button the function printResult is called.
Is there any way for us to still use the newline character in the menuItems variable?
This can be easily reproducible. That's why I haven't made an example.
A: Try to write in the following way \\n:
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \\n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,]
