Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the dhtml javascript menu script to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the dhtml javascript menu script always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the dhtml javascript menu script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code: <script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the dhtml javascript menu script:
var absolutePos=0; var posX="0px"; var posY="0px";
Q: I see one of the styles of tabs that Deluxe tabs can create is vertical ones, however, they appear just to be the floating type with images. I'd like a more traditional looking, non-floating tab to sit vertically. Is that possible with your software?
A: If you don't want that your Tabs Menu float you should set thefollowing parameter:
var bfloatable=0;
Q: How i can isert any html code in css dynamic menu?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
So you can paste a form too.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:

Q: Pls help me with another question.
I have an horizontal menu in which the submenus drop down (as in example # 1 you have in your web).
For the first level items (which are horizontal), I do not want item spacing or itemPadding, that is:
var itemSpacing=0;
var itemPadding=0;
However, for the second and third level menu items, that drop down, I do need spacing and padding, like this:
var itemSpacing=1;
var itemPadding=1;
How can achieve this if, we have only one set of parameters??
Thank you very much and best regards
A: You should use Individual Styles.
You should set the following parameters:
var itemSpacing = 0;
var itemPadding = 0;
and create individual style for submenus
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackImage=images/subm_back.gif","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], // add Spacing and Padding to the style which is used for the third level menu items.
["columnPerSubmenu=2"],
["itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], //style 2
];
You should assign this style for the second and third level menu items
