Q: I purchased your menu and I am currently using it. I was trying to use the vista template with the images. Yet when I have an js dropdown menu item that is a little long in text the image breaks in to two buttons. Is there a way to fix this or is that just the way it is with these templates?
A: Images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000", "itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: The /js subdirectory of the Apycom Tree Menu trial package has no data file, i.e. the data file is missing.
A: This file can be renamed, for example, into tree-data.js.
This file contains Javascript code with menu parameters and items.
It has the following structure:
var param1 = value1;
var param2 = value2;
var param3 = value3;
...
var tmenuItems = [...];
Please, check that.
Use our examples to see how to install the menu.
Use DHTML Tuner application from the same .zip package to create andconfigure your menus.
Q: The problem that I'm having is when ever the menu has an external link clicked to load in the main frame, the main menu (blue one with icons) dropped down & the frame below is moved to the bottom ofthe menu, or in other terms the menu frame stretches to the size of the menu & moves the main frame down.
A: The menu will work correctly in the cross-frame mode if you load pages into the sub frame from the same domain.
If you load pages from another domain submenus won't be shown in the subframe - they will be shown in the frame with the top-menu.
It's caused by a security policy of browsers - a script can't modify a content of pages from another domain.
Q: Hi There. I wanted to use your product, but couldn’t figure out how multiple users could get varying menus using the file driven approach.
I currently use a java menu that I build on the fly without any files.
The only thing I could come up with was having each user refer to his/her own data.js file, that I can build on demand.
Does that make sense to you?
A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.
Theoretically it is possible to have varying menus for multiple users.You should create your own server-side script (for example, php) thatwill change the menu for your users. The menu doesn't support such afeature.
