Q: If I wanted to change the graphics at a later date in tab menu javascript (main top tabs, subtabs, etc.), how would I do that?


A: In that case you should open images I'm using for top tabs in any graph editor and changethem.

back.gif
back_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the last tabs in the top menu(instead of the 1-st 6 items)

sep_top.gif // separator for the top items

top1.gif
top1_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 1-st tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:

["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],

By the way to apply hint for this item you should write:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "This hint appears when you hover over the 1-st item", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],

top2.gif
top2_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 2-nd tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>PAIN</font><br>Identified<br>(Problems)","", "", "", "", "", "6", "", "", "", "", ],

and so on...

For the subtabs I'm use images for arrows only:
  var arrowWidthSub=8;
  var arrowHeightSub=8;
  var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrow.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrow_o.gif"]


Q: I now have the need to introduce separators on the menu.
Can you tell me how to do that?
I cannot find any documentation telling me how this is done.


A: Please, see the following parameters:

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
  var separatorWidth="5";
  var separatorHeight="100%";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
  var separatorVWidth="3";
  var separatorVHeight="100%";
  var separatorPadding="";

You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],

];

Try that.


Q: For example if you use the Growing Goodness menu located under Media Categories the first category is Agriculture w/ a sub category "Community Supported (CSA)" it is the sub category that is an active link. Is it possible to have only the active link "Community Supported (CSA) underlined and not Agriculture? And the same for all the other active links in this menu, all that have hyperlinks assigned to them.

A: You can write your links in the following way:

["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/callingfromthecoast.htm'>Eco-Friendly</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
 ["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com'>Farmers Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],
["Media Categories","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Agriculture","", , , , , , , , ],
   ["||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/csa.htm'>Community Supported (CSA)</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
   ["||Movie Trailers","", , , , , , , , ],
   ["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/farmboymovie.htm'>Farmboy</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
   ["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/strongrootsfragilefarms.htm'>Strong Roots, Fragile Farms</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],
   ["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/therealdirtonfarmerjohn.htm'>The Real Dirt On Farmer John</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],

And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;}




Q: I got the menu to display across frames, but it displays differently in Firefox & Mozillavs. Internet Explorer. Is that to be expected?

In The Mozilla-based browsers, the submenu butts right upunder the main menu – which is how I want it. In IE, it is about 10 pixels below.

Also, I can’t get the submenus to drop down directly under the main menus – they are offset by about 100 pixels to the right.

A: The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.

You should create the following frameset structure:

--|------------
   | menu
--|------------
   |
   | submenus
   |

Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.
