but the flash turns white below the nav box.
A: You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.
See, how you should install flash on your pages.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
height="150" width="800">
<param name="movie" value="2008 flash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="flash_files/2008%2520flash.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="150" width="800">
</object>
Submenus will overlap flash correctly in that case.
Q: I have menus generated by you deluxe menu package . They look fine on all my computer but look bad on my friends computer.
Can this be fixed?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Try to specify all units in "px", for example:
var menuHeight="22px";
Try to set exact width for menu item
var menuWidth="736px";
Try also not to set
var smWidth="0";
var smHeight="0";
Please, see the attached data file.
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
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: Why is it that when we place a drop menu ina div that the droppping part is not right uner the menu? The menu on top banner is the problem.. Thesame code outside of a div futher down the page works fine.
I can place the same menu outside of the div and it works fine.When it is in a div the drop part of the menu is pushed to the far right of the screen.
A: Brian, see, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "POSITION: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute;"
to the
<div id="menu">
So, you'll have:
<DIV id="menu" style="POSITION: absolute;">
Q: I'm having a major problem centering html menu navigation in a table.
No matter what I try, the menu stays on the left ofthe table.
Do you have any suggestions?
A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the following
parameter and install the menu in the following way:
var absolutePos=0;
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/dmenu.js"></script>
</div>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
