Q: I purchased your product yesterday and was quite impressed, but I am having a bit of aproblem with my submenuitems. In the general menu properties there is a "Global" vartitemHeight = 22; My problem is that I would like my upper level of my dhtml tree to have one itemheight and my submenuitems to have a smaller height.Is this possible?
A: In the XP Style
var tXPStyle=1;
the item's height for the top items and submenus will be different.
If you want to use
var tXPStyle=0;
you can set ite's height for the submenus:
var titemHeight=16;
And for other items use the blank icon with the height you want to have for the upper
level of your menu items.
Q: I am currently tasked with creating a large intra-type net for our company. ( knowledge base, FAQ etc. for internal use only ).
At this time I am making plain text or table based menus and getting tired of having to add the drop menus to EVERY page individually in our little intra-web. I would like to purchase software that makes groovy looking menus, but also get the information needed to have them appear on ALL pages after editing the menu once if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately my web authoring experience is best suited to circa-1996 web pages I can hash out in notepad in my sleep. However, I have been told in order to do what I am doing I need to use CSS or styles or cascading stylesheets and not sure if your software will do that.
If I purchase this software and whip up a neat little menu, would you be able to send me information on how to include it in a css as I described above? I would essentially need to know the code or commands to have it appear in all of the pages I create, once I make the menu file. If that is something you can assist me with, I can purchase this right away.
A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.
If you don't want to create your drop menus on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
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.
