Q: Is it possible to have the "parent" item be purely an image but the dropdown portion of the menu being in regular text?
What we want to do is show emulate a basic text look for the main menu headings but the font is a special font so we have to use an image. When hovered over we'd like to replace the image (i.e do a rollover) with the same text but a different color.
A: Yes you can create such menu.
You should use images for the main items.
You should write your menu items in the following way:
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
Q: As a follow up, please could you take a look at the attached images and let us know if there are any settings within the javascript drop menu files set within the previous mail that would make the 1st sub menu indent a couple of pixels when the 2nd sub menu sits correctly.
A: This is space to document borders. We've set this space, so that yoursubmenus will not look like the part of browser window. If you wantyou can delete that space.
Open dmenu.js file in any text editor and find the following code:
space=15;
Change 15 to 0.
space=0;
Q: Trialling your menu maker. Was trying to get the tabs dhtml menu bulder working,but it gives me the error "Tabs[...].id is null or not an object" within the program and under IE7, but not under Mozilla Firefox. Obviously the tabs will be used on my website, of which 80-90% of traffic is MS-IE.
Do you know about this problem, and is there a fix. This will be a major stumbling block against me buying the product if this problem is not fixable.
A: Try to set the following dhtml menu bulder parameter:
var bselectedSmItem=0;
Q: I am curious why there are no font settings for "Individual Styles" for"Submenu styles".
Basically I want to have a different font and color for my submenu items so they appear differently than the normal primary Items - but it seems there is only two options for fonts:
- The global font parameters affecting all fonts (primary and sub).
- And the Individial Styles for primary Item Styles.
Why no font paramenters for Submenu Items?
A: You can assign Item Style for the submenu item too.
See the example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=normal 13px Comic Sans MS"], //item style 0
];
var menuStyles = [
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
