Q: Is it possible to have menu items act like regular hyperlinks?
For instance in Firefox I like to "middle click" hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, or in IE right click and open in new window.
However with Deluxe-Menu this does not seem to work.
A: If you want to open your links in the new window you should set the item target parameter to "_blank", for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , "_blank", , , , ],
...
You can include also any html code in the Item Text.
For example:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
Q: I have just downloaded your trial version and am trying to use delux tuner using the windows xpstyle template.
I can only seem to get the top button showing as grey but can change colors of submenus in dhtml xml menu.
Am I missing something? ?ow do I get the top button showing the same as submenu buttons.
A: To change submenu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2";
var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
and Individual Submenu Style:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
For the top items you should change Individual Item style:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"],
];
Q: We are looking at using one of your deluxe menu programs on our web site however we need to know:
1) Can we access all different options such as color, font, size, border, background in each menu?
2) Can we use the various templates with each menu, each type of filter?
3) how about the various styles listed, can we use those in whatever selection we make?
A: Yes, you can create menus with different styles and use them on theone page.
You can see it on our website. On some pages we use different menus.For example:
http://deluxe-menu.com/filters-and-effects-sample.html
Q: I got it working however I have an additional question.
How do I allocate the width of each "button" see sample how for instance the "FAQ" button is so narrow compared to others. I tried adding spaces with no result.
A: You can use Individual Item Styles to set exact width for the menuitems.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=100px"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style 0
