Q: I am a registered user, and I really like your menu system.

With my old menu system the user could right click on a menu item and the browser would display an option to open the page in a "New Tab".

Is there any way in the javascript menu html to allow the user to choose to open a link in a new tab?.

My users are restricted to using IE.

A: You can try to write the following code for your items:

["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],

And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}

Try that.



Q: In the item window, it says "use Ctrl jey to slect and copy items" But when I try it doesn't work.

I use Ctrl C and Ctrl V


A: To select a group of items you can use Shift and Ctrl keys.

To rename an item click on it and hold a mouse cursor for a second. Or use item parameters window.
To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.


Q: I've been using your application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu source.


A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];

Please, see the following parameters:

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";


Q: I know I can fix the width of the entire (horizontal) menu. But is there a way to fix the width of each Item in the menu? I would like each Item to be the same width.


A: Please, try to specify units in "px", for example.

  var menuWidth = "600px";

It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

Try to set individual style for item width:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px"],
];

  var menuItems = [

    ["Text1","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
    ["Text2","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
    ["Text3","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
    ["Text4","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
    ["Text5","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
