Recent Questions

Q: I purchased your product yesterday and was quite impressed, but I am having a bit of a problem with my submenuitems. In the general menu properties there is a "Global"   var titemHeight = 22; My problem is that I would like my upper level of my free tree menu to have one itemheight and my submenuitems to have a smaller height. Is this possible?

A: In the XP Style
  var tXPStyle=1;
the item's height for the top items and submenus will be different.

If you want to use
  var tXPStyle=0;

you can set ite's height for the submenus:
  var titemHeight=16;

And for other items use the blank icon with the height you want to have for the upperlevel of your menu items.


Q: I'm using your DHTML menu product.
I've read the parameters but am unable to make the drop down menu links stop spawning a new window on click.
I love the product and want to use it on my web but I've got to make it stop having babies! Have you some advice for me or a FAQ page you can send?


A: You should use the following parameter

  var itemTarget = "_self";

Please, see also individual items targets, for example:

 ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],

Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".


Q: I have an other question about Vista menus :
If the word is too long, the dhtml menu images are not correct.
Please look at the screenshot.

A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).

You can try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items, for example:

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';

But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif



Q: I just purchased your multiple site bundle and have a menu question.

I need to create a menu for a site that has the top level menu have no border but I want any of the sub menu popups to have a border around them (or a different background color for the menu area for the popup). I can not see a way to do this? If a put a menu border on it appears on both the top level and any submenu popups.


A: You should use Individual Item Styles.

You should set the following parameters:

1)   var menuBorderWidth=0;
2) Create Submenu Style

  var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderStyle=solid","menuBorderColor=#7E5927"], //style 0
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner. Click "Edit Individual Styles" and thenchoose "Submenu Styles" tab.

3) Assign Individual Style for your submenus.
You can assign them only for the first item in each submenu.
For example:
  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0

 ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],    ["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0
   ["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Parameters Info","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
