Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.

Q: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following

Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm

When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.


A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:

  var tmenuBackImage="";
  var titemBackImage=["",""];

changed to:

  var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";

  var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];

Try to specify units in "px".
  var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

You should set this parameter:
  var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
   ["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],    ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

Please, correct it. <

   ["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so that a vertical menu selection stays 'on'? In other words, the vertical menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.

A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: I am trying to placed a separator image in between each item in my css vertical dropdown menu. I have placed the image in the seperator field and it will not display. How can I get an image to be a separator in between items on my css vertical dropdown menu?

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in css vertical dropdown menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in css vertical dropdown menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];



Q: The contact page drop down menu examples would not work with the Firefox browser. And the submenu would show a white bg in the Internet Explorer browser.

A: Your color parameters are incorrect:

  var itemBackColor=["91C24D","8B3A96"];
  var itemBorderColor=["ffffff","ffffff"];

You should write them in the following way:
  var itemBackColor=["#91C24D","#8B3A96"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#ffffff","#ffffff"];
