Q: I have Deluxe-Menu v2.0.

1. When I make an Item a Seperator using '-' on main menu Items (on a menu verticale javascript) it does NOT work (leaves a blank row) but when I make an Item a Separator using '-' on a Subitem it DOES work (uses the Separatorimage). Why ?

Can I make an Item a Separator on the main menu and get it to use the Separatorimage ?

2. If I set the text value to empty on a main menu Item and then add image paths in the Normal and Mouse Over Icon fields in Item Parameters, all I get on my preview is an image placeholder with a Red X but when I set the text value to empty on a SubItem and then add image paths in the Normal and Mouse Over Icon fields in Item Parameters, the preview DOES show the image. Why ?

How can I get the image to show on the main menu verticale javascript Item ?

A: 1. 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 would like to make the main bar for the menu javascripts more consistent in the spacing.

A: Try to set exact width for each top menu item using Individual Styles:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=131px"], //style0
];

  var menuItems = [

["home","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["artist index","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["the gallery","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0


];


Q: I have been mostly creating my menus by starting with a template file that has the features I need, and then modifying that file by hand (as opposed to using the Tuner program). In this case I am using data-vista-01.js.

When I load my html file that has references to the necessary resources (e.g. .js, gif, etc) in a directory that has the Images folder and Menu folder copied directly from the installed Deluxe Menu program directories, I get what I want.

This is perfect. But I think to myself, surely I don't need all the .js files from the Menu directory, nor do I need all the .gif files from the Images directory, so I started deleting those files one at a time, until I got to the point where Images contained only the Vista1 folder + the empty.gif file, and the Menu folder contained only dmenu.js. My menu now not working.

I'm guessing that some graphic files need to draw the top-level menu bar are missing. But which ones?
So my question is, what files do I really need? Is this something the documentation describes, and if so where?

I hope I don't have to include the full contents of the Menu and Images folder, as they are quite large.


A: Unfortunately, you should add all need images manually.
We'll try to correct it soon.
You can open your data.js file and see what images you're using in themenu and copy tese images into your folder.

You should also change the following parameter:

  var pathPrefix_img="";

There is no need to use all engine files for the menu.
Description of files you can find here:

Q: I have an even more vexing issue. For some reason my arrows are showing up on the left side of each java dhtml menu item, it seems the arrows icons are also retaining the right side padding for the java dhtml menu items. Can you give me a hand with this?

A: Now you have the following java dhtml menu parameter:

  var dmRTL=1;

You should set it to:

  var dmRTL=0;
