Q: I make an example of html menu, but when i use it with frameset then the menu not show completly.

Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?


A: To initialize the cross frame menu you should call dm_initFrame() function
instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

Q: I am putting your deluxe menu on our pages but if I do not put the menu on top, then it the sub menus appear on opposite direction (from bottom to top.) So instead of dropping down, they drop up.

We do not want this to happen. Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue?

Mouseover menu submenu drops up unless you scroll down or put the menu on top.

A: See if your submenu has a big height and there is no enough room under the menu to showthe whole submenu the submenu will be shown above the menu (if there is enough space toshow the whole submenu).

You can set exact height for the submenus, so they will go in the place under the menu.


Q: I am trying the menu and facing one problem…

The text is too large and doesn't wrap around.. instead it makes the dhtml menu layers wider.

My dhtml menu layers needs to be 175 px only.. if there are to many characters in the link, I like it to wrap around to the next line…

Any options?

A: You should set the following dhtml menu layers parameter:

  var noWrap=0;

You can also use standard <br> tags inside item's text:

["All Card <br>Envelopes","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
