Q: I am becoming more frustrated by the moment. I try to add more menu items, the default icons (images) disappear and I can't figure out how to get them back.
Is this a bug in your software or am I simply doing something wrong? Every time this happens, I have to start over and end up with the same results - lost or missing icons.
A: That's mean that you don't use Individual Item Styles for the newitems.
Please, see how you should use Individual Styles for the items similar the one which you're going tocreate and see it parameters.
You should use the same parameters for the new item.
Try that.
Q: I can't seem to have a "contact us" menu item to work.
I've even tried a custom target with
<A HREF="mailto:
[email protected]"> </A>
command and get the following error:
Can you perhaps suggest a way you know that works?
A: Please, write so, for example:
["Contact us","mailto:[email protected]", , , , , , , ],
Q: I pushed the js files you attached and it fixed my Trial error message but now my left menus APPLMENU.JS and APPL2MENU.JS won't mouse over and won't open the submenus and it gives a javascript error.
A: Now you have several errors in you data files appl2menu.js andapplmenu.js.
Now you have
var menuBackColor="cccccc";
var menuBorderWidth="";
var itemBorderWidth="";
This is not right.
Try to write them:
var menuBackColor="#CCCCCC";
var menuBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty
var itemBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty
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)
