Q: How can I open the links that I created for the web drop menu /sub-menu on the same window (not on a new window)
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_self";
or for each item individually:
["","testlink.htm","http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo.gif", "http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo1.gif", "Home Tip","_self", "0", "0", , ],
Q: I place all of my files in folders. If I want the Deluxe menu to work I have to have the Deluxe menu saved in each folder for it to work with the files inside those folders.
A: There is no need to copy al files for the menu in each folder.
To install the menu you can use such paths:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I'm just trying to get those little vertical spacers between menu items in the drop down menu.How can I do it with Deluxe Menu.
A: Please, see the following parameters of the menu:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "20";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators between items in the drop down menu using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"], ["|item 3"],
["|-"], // this subitem is separator
["|item 4"],
];
Q: I am in the early stages of desgning a website for a client and am looking for a particular menu script.
I came across your site ad am impressed with the options. However, I am haivng trouble finding something that will do what the client is looking for.
With a horizontal menu bar across the top, a drop down sub-menu appears but the menu items appear side by side insdie of in a column.
I was hopeing that one of your options might be able to handle this type of menu but I do not see that there is a script for it. Is that true or is it possible to achieve this example in a setting in one of your scripts.
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
Please, see the attached example.
You should set this parameter:
var smOrientation=1;
You can create any style of the menu.
