Q: I have set up the dhtml menu javascript at this site. I have chosen to use the transitional filter from IE6. The main menus and sub menus work fine in IE but in Firefox the sub menus do not appear at all. Is their a fix for this. I realize that firefox does not support IE transitions but Ithought the sub menus would appear when the main item is clicked on. that hs not happened. Go to above URL and vie in both IE and Firefox and you will see what I mean.
A: You couldn't see submenus in FF because you had
var transparency="";
You should set your parameters in the following way:
var transparency="100";
var itemBackColor=["#072450",""];
Q: I am having problems with my html files that are located in sub folders of my site the menu html does not work on them.If they are in the root directory there is no problem.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Q: I am trying to evaluate the trial version of deluxepopup window.
The script popup works great but I am having a specific requirement of making it amodal window; i.e. when the popup is opened, users shouldn't be allowed to access the main page. Please let me know how to make this happen.
Appreciate your quick response on this.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to create modal window using Deluxe Popup Window.It doesn't have such a feature now.
We'll try to add this feature in the next versions.Q: I came across your program through a link on the Internet. The menu script displayed was DHTML Menu Demo #23 displayed on
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html - this is the only menu I am interested in as it has the capability of positioning the menu script relative to an existing table in the HTML coding of the page. I already have a vertical scrolling menu with several features visitors. We are moving our website to our own server and are doing some updating to make it more attractive when viewed at different resolutions. If you look at the source coding for the page (yes, it's almost exclusively in HTML - it usually views well on any browser) you will see that ALL the content is enclosed in a table which is centered on the page allowing it to be completely viewed at any resolution of 800 x 600 or greater. But the scripting I'm using ( /* Created by Randy Bennet...) uses the left margin of the browser window as left margin of the page. If it could be written so that the left margin of the existing (and centered in the browser window) table would be the point from which the left corner of the "object1" was measured, then the page would view nicely at any resolution. But I cannot find out how to do this from your "newer version".
A: You can create the same menu using Deluxe Menu:
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html
To install Deluxe Menu in the table cell with center alignment youshould use relative position for the menu:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
And install it on your page in the following way:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
