Q: I'm trying out the trial version and so far I really like the features. Can you tell me if I can expel the transparent look of the mouse over drop down menu?
When the mouse over drop down menu drops down over text, you can see the text. What can I do to fix it.
A: You should set the following mouse over drop down menu parameter:
var transparency="100";
Q: Things are mostly working great. I want my menu to appear centered at the top the page. Here's the code:
<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="2"cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="navbar.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The table appears at the far left edge of the window. I tried with both absolute (x=20, y=10) and relative (both x and y unset) coordinates. Help!
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div > or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600> </tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: I need a navigation bar dhtml where on the click of certain items, server side code on the page can be called and executed.
I need to create a multiple item select menu. Sothe menu would need to remain open and allow a user to selectmultiple items and would either submit onmouseout or maybe a “submitthese selections” menu item.
A: You can try to use Deluxe Tree in that case:

You can paste any html code inside item text, see example here:

["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],
You should also add your own code, so your checkbox will workcorrectly.
