Q: We're interested in the pop up menu (context menu) you offered. Is it possible to generate multiple context menus at the same page?
Is the context menu also 508 compliant, in other words, keyboard accessible?
A: Yes, you can use as many context menus as you want on the same page.
You should call your data files at first
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu1.js"></script>
<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> //1st menu
<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> //2nd menu
You can use keyboard in context menus but you have to click (or hover) the image. And only after your subitems appear you can press "Ctrl+F2" and arrow keys to navigate themenu.
But if you have multiple menus on one page and use keystrokes support you can navigate only the first menu.
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: When on mouseover of a Deluxe Menu icon, naturally a tooltip will come up if you have inserted text there. I seem to have no control over the length of time the tooltip stays active nor the colour or size of the font in that through script drop down menu. Am I missing something? I would like to be able to have the tooltip stay for about 30 seconds and also change the font size and colour of text in the tooltip only.
A: No this is a standard hint, there is no way to increase the time it stayson the screen or change its color.
Q: I want to have one of the drop menus use a different image.
I am using thevista images and would like to have all of them but one use the same imageand the last one a different one. Can this be done?
If not I was able to adda second menu with the different image but for some reason the second menuwill not drop down. Can you help me with either of these?
A: You should create Individual Style for the last item and assign another image for it.
