Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.
Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.
A: Try to specify exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
Q: When I check my website for accessibility it shows NoAlt on the dhtml drop down menu!.
Where do I add an alt tag in the data file?
A: You should use the fifth parameter in menuItems
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
For example:
["Home","index.htm", "", "", "Home", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Bio","bio.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Bio", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Destiny History","history.htm", "", "", "Destiny History", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Contact Destiny","contact.htm", "", "", "Contact Destiny", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Itinerary","itinerary.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Itinerary", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I would like to separate each main menu item in a dhtml menu bar with a dotted line graphic.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];

A: Unfortunately, you can do it on mouseover with Deluxe Tabs.
