Q: I was looking for a feature to reverse the order of items added dynamically to the drop down html menu
I'm not sure where to find it or how to go about getting this new feature incorporated into my code.
Could you please help me and tell me where to go next?
A: To add your items dynamically in the specific position you should usethe following function:
dm_ext_addItemPos(mInd, smInd, iParamsArr, Pos)
where Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item(starts with 0).
Check that you have dmenu_dyn.js file in the same folder with dmenu.js
file and set
var dynamic=1;
parameter.
Q: I can not figure out how to get the grey separator gif to show up in the navigation bar scripts.
Where in the DeluxeTuner do you select that?
A: You should add separators between your items,
use "Add separator" button on the mainwidow of Deluxe Tuner.
var menuItems = [
["Item1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item5","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item6","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
var separatorVImage="separv1.gif";
var separatorVWidth="1px";
var separatorVHeight="21px";
Notice that I've used my on separator image, you should use your own image.
Q: I have one more question. I built the menu using Deluxe Tuner.
I cannot find where to change the mouse over color from blue to something more appropriate in my drop down menu templates. Can you tell me where to do this?
A: You should change the second color in the following parameter:
var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
Q: How can I center my navigation java script menu bar within my HTML page? I have tried putting the script into a table that is centered. I have also changed the var menuWidth to 800px. The navigation bar is still right-justified instead of centered in both IE and Firefox/Mozilla.
A: Now you use absolute position for the java script menu bar:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
You should set:
var absolutePos=0;
