Q: I am trying to placed a separator image in between each item in my css vertical dropdown menu. I have placed the image in the seperator field and it will not display. How can I get an image to be a separator in between items on my css vertical dropdown menu?

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in css vertical dropdown menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in css vertical dropdown menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];



Q: Thanks for swift reply, however:
Tried the dmenu.js (only one we use) at our trial site and get the error :
Line 13
Invalid argument

- as you know this js file is obfuscated to one line, so using a debugger does not apply.

A: See the attached example. I've upgraded your javascript layer menu to Deluxe Menu v3.0.
use data file and engine files from the attachment.

You had several errors in the structure of menuItems.

It is not correct to write

 ["| Contact us","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us","","","","","8","","",],
   ["||| Energy team","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us/energy_team","","","","","8","","",],

You should write:
 ["| Contact us","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us","","","","","8","","",],
   ["|| Energy team","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us/energy_team","","","","","8","","",],



Q: I'm trying out your menus, and I seem to have a problem with changing the title of a menu item. If the text is something like "Create a New Event" the entire menu spreads out and the rollover image starts replicating itself behind it, instead fo stretching with the text. So I see 1 /2 rollover images for that top level item, instead of just the one, width it's width spread out to accomodate the extra text.

I've tried the Styles bit, but that doesn't seem to fix the rollover image any...

Any pointers ?


A: You can try to set the exact width for each menu item using IndividualItem Styles.

You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style0
["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style1
["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style2
["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style3
];

["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Samples","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
 ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
 ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
[" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", , , ],
 ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

You also should check the width of your rollover image. It should bethe same width as your items.

You can also use
tags in the item text, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["line 1
line 2"],
];

Or you can set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;

Try that.


Q: I am just starting to work with deluxe menu for a site that I am developing. I will soon be going through the purchase of a license but have not yet reached that point.
At the moment though, as I build the framework for the site locally on my computer, I notice that the menu behave a looks differently in IE 6 and Firefox (I am focusing on a CSS base menu). Is this something that will be worked out once I have purchased the licensing key or is there something else that I am missing?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
  var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
  var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
  var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";

You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
