Q: Is there any way to keep a menu lit up when going to another page? Or do the menus always have to default back to their normal state?
I want the menu to know what page the user is on and keep that section highlighted. Any ideas?
A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: What I would like is a link inside the popup window that closes the mouseover popup window. I tried moving the "close" link from the main page into the popup window html but I get a Javascript error when I click on that link.
A: See, if you load a different page in your popup window (iframe) suchlink won't work in it.
If you add the content of the mouseover popup window in DIV (so, it will be thesame page) such link will work.
Q: I just bought a developer version but I am having troubles using the javascript rollover menu which is shown right above an embedded flash movie. Although i followed the instructions on the website, i experience major problems using Opera 9.2.0 and Firefox 2.0.0.15.
A: Check that you've set opaque parameter to <object> and <embed> tags.
You can also send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: Actually, we figured out how to adjust the alignment of the text. What we would like to do is set a specific width for each item on the top level of the menu. Right now the width of the menu is based on the length of the item in that hotspot. We would like the width of each of those options to be the same.
A: You should use individual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=123px"], //style 0
["itemWidth=150px"], //style 1
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Text","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "1", , , ], //style 1
Try that.
