Q: Is there a way to specify certian font styles escpecailly a hanging indent on the text of the navigation menubar?
A: You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 0
["fontStyle=normal 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=underline,underline"], // style 1
["fontStyle=normal 14px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,none"], // style 2
];
And assign styles to your items:
var menuItems = [
["1 Item","index.php","","","","_self","0",,,],
["2 Item","","","","","_self","1",,,],
["|Submenu Item","","","","","_self","2",,,],
...
Q: I can not figure out why my submenus are not opening next to the javascript menu horizontal? I have included a picture so you can see what I am talking about. When I am in the turner program they pop up just fine but on my website they don't.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).In other words, you can't get the value of "POSITION: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px"
to the
<div id=div_name>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=div_name style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">
Try that.
Q: Now I need to work out how to add multiple menu's to a page? Are you able to reference these separately - is this possible.
The page that I am creating lists out notes from our system - there is a "options" button to the right of each note - when the cursor hovers over this button I want to dynamically load themenu's. On any page there could be over a 100 of these "option" buttons and the menu that would load from each option button could be different and specific to the note.
A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.
You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then call your data files:
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Q: I don't understand why this isn't working right. I haven't messed with the files in a long time now but someone wrote me an email saying I’ve had incorrect copyright on the javascript dropdown menu for a long time.
A: "Incorrect Copyright" means that the script can't find required copyright parameters.
To avoid this, please, change:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
to:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
