Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: I want you to start modifying on your menu items in menu.js to get the caption from prestext. If you look at the bottom of commonfooter.html, you will see code like
<a target="_top" class="sidenav" href="<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<%
=sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>" onclick="RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')">
<%=GetPresText("WillCreatorBug",rsmenu)%></a>
A: You can use any html tags within item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["<a target='_top' class='sidenav' href='<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<% =sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>'
onclick='RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')'>Home<%=GetPresText('WillCreatorBug',rsmenu)%></a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
