Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: We are trying to evaluate your software for use on our redesigned website.
Dhtml scrolling menu look great in Firefox but when we open the same page in IE it is ugly.
A: The reason is in the following code:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" align=left border=0> </DIV>
Delete align=left from the <IMG> tag:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" border=0> </DIV>
Q: Thanks for your information, and the program is very useful and user friendly compare with others.
But I have a question, pls see the following example.
inside the menu.js (the file which we will run as navigation bar)
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif", "menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
when setup running the php file directly is no problem
however, as we have some links will have different values as the end (have problem running at the menu)
such as blog.php?ownid=4497
there is having a dynamic value at the end
at our php files we use
<a href="blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>">
Any suggestion for this case? or you can give us some example?
A: The following link should work fine in Deluxe Menu:
["Item 1","blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to move menuItems and dm_init(); function to your page inside <script>tag:
<script>
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif","menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif","menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>Q: What is the purpose of the blank image file in the Parameters panel of the create dhtml menu software?
Also, would you please direct me to a site or documentation that would provide information on such details?
A: If you won't use some images in the menu for examplearrows the blank image will be used.
So, you should set correct path to it.
You can find all documentation on our website.
