Q: I have 6 menu items that are ALL graphics...they can't just be background images because they all have graphic text, so the rollovers are unique to each menu item. I just need it to function like a typical rollover with images.
A: Yes, you can create such menu.
You should write your menu items in the following way:
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
Q: I would like to make the main bar for the menu javascripts more consistent in the spacing.
A: Try to set exact width for each top menu item using Individual Styles:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=131px"], //style0
];
var menuItems = [
["home","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["artist index","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["the gallery","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];Q: I am in the process of building this site, but as you will see the menu text is showing on the top menue, but not the javascript hide menu itself.
A: You forgot to upload engine files on you server.
That is why you see search engine friendly code for the javascript hide menu only:
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:normal 11px Arial;color:#ff9966;text-decoration:none">
...
</div>
Notice that you should call dmenu.js file and dmWorkPath parameter on your html page only once.
You should write only
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="OnlineHelp.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="OnlineHelp.files/dmenu.js">
Q: I want javascript navigation menu to lock into place when someone visits a page. Is there a way to do this?
A: Try to set the pressed item using the following API function:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dynamic menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
parentOpen = true/false - open all submenus to show the selected item
See example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Try to click 'Highlight "Product Info/Installation/Description ofFiles" item'.
You can also try to use the following parameter:
var smHidePause = 1000;
A delay (in ms) between mouse is moved from submenu and its closing.
You can make submenus to stay visible till you click outside the menu or scroll your page.
To enable this feature you should set this parameter in the following way: var smHidePause = -1;
