Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?


A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.

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="1";
  var separatorVHeight="100%";
  var separatorPadding="";

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

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

];

Q: I would like to create navigation menu where the background is transparent until you move the mouse over itwhen it turns to a color. I erased the first color number from the list and that worked, but when I scrolled the mouse over the links, the background stayed light blue even though the mouse was no longer over them. Is there a way to let the background start transparent, turn light blue when the mouse is over it, then go back to transparent after the mouse is off it?

A: You can use transparent parameter, for example:

  var itemBackColor=["transparent","#4792E6"];

Q: Is this possible to make the background of item in a free dhtml menu fully transparent sothat the page below it is fully visible.

Q: I bought the Deluxe Menu system for one website. Javascript select menu works well on all versions of IE that I tried (5,6,7)

However, the background and shadow do not render in Firefox. As a result the menu is not as attractive.
Can you help with this or am I stuck?

A: You should add Individual Item style and assign it for the top javascript select menu items:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=20px"],
];

["Home","index.shtml", "", "", "First Page", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["Communication","", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", "", "", ],
...
