Q: We are implementing your licensed drop down menu in dhtml on our new site and it does not appear to work in Firefox.
A: Now you have:
var transparency="";
it is not correct.
You should set, for example:
var transparency="100";
Try also to set:
var itemPadding="0px 15px 0px 15px";
Q: Sorry to bother you again, but we've done everything suggested in your fix regarding flash obscuring the multiple drop down menu, but we're still having the same problem in Firefox.
We've - set the parameter in the data file to - var dmObjectsCheck=1;
We've added the following to the start of the data file -
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
We've embeded the flash as suggested to -
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
height="150" width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed height="150" name="if-header"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
src="images/flash/if-header.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="732" quality="best"
wmode="opaque" play="true">
</object>
But still our multiple drop down menu sits behind the flash. Are we missing something else?
A: See it is necessary to have opaque parameters in <object> and <embed>tags to display submenus correctly in Firefox.
So, you should open .js file for your flash and find "embed" and"object" words.
And add opaque parameters, for example:
swfNode = '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" src="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') +'"';
swfNode += ' id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" name="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params){ swfNode += [key] +'="'+ params[key] +'" '; }
var pairs = this.getVariablePairs().join("&");
if (pairs.length > 0){ swfNode += 'flashvars="'+ pairs +'"'; }
swfNode += '/>';
} else { // PC IE
if (this.getAttribute("doExpressInstall")) {
this.addVariable("MMplayerType", "ActiveX");
this.setAttribute('swf', this.xiSWFPath);
}
swfNode = '<object id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') + '">';
swfNode += '<param name="movie" value="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params) {
swfNode += '<param name="'+ key +'" value="'+ params[key] +'" />';
}
Q: Well I figured all of that out but now I have a new problem.The content of the textarea tabs is not displaying in IE.
A: See, it is not correctly to use submenus in tabMode=0.
Now you have:
var bmenuItems = [
["Why Choose Frictionsweb?","content1", "", "", "", "Why choose Frictionsweb Premium Internet Services?", "", "", "", ],
["|Our Services","content2", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Specials","content3", "", "", "", "Great Deals from Frictionsweb!", "", "", "", ],
["|Our Services","content4", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Try to write your bmenuItems in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["Why Choose Frictionsweb?","content1", "", "", "", "Why choose Frictionsweb Premium Internet Services?", "", "", "", ],
["Our Services","content2", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Specials","content3", "", "", "", "Great Deals from Frictionsweb!", "", "", "", ],
["Our Services","content4", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Q: The menus I am trying to change, it seems as though thetransparency is too light.
Where in the drop down menu asp do you reduce some of the transparency?
A: Use the following parameter:
var transparency="100";
