Q: I purchased your menu and I am currently using it. I was trying to use the vista template with the images. Yet when I have an js dropdown menu item that is a little long in text the image breaks in to two buttons. Is there a way to fix this or is that just the way it is with these templates?
A: Images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000", "itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gifQ: I'd like to re order the position of the drop down menu's items (by example) the cities.
A-city
C-city
D-city
B-city
E-city etc.....
B-city had to come under A-city, how can we do that?
Thank you
A: I'm not sure I understand where you would like to change the position.In Deluxe Tuner or dynamically on your html page.
To move items in Deluxe Tuner select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
See the attached screenshot. Click on the item you want to move.Move your mouse in the correct place (holding left mouse button).Wait till you'll have gray line in the place where you want to insertthe item and release mouse button.
To dynamically change your items you can use the following API function:function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.htmlQ: I would love to buy your product BUT, I am not sure if it will do what I want - can I call javascript within the dynamic menu?
For example my old page for disaster recovery we have inserted a URL substitution :
The javascript function is called at the top of the nav page:
<script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" SRC = "../urlSub.js"> </script>
then the link on the nav menu
<a> href="#" ONCLICK = "urlSubstitution('transco/sheet.asp?stype=1')">Table of Contents </a>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, Im not sure if this is possible with your product?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];Q: Just wanted to thank you for all of your help...I changed all of the paths accordingly and the menus look great.
Out of curiousity, how do I use the javascript calendar function? It does not appear to be an option in the Deluxe Tuner GUI.
A: We haven't added Calendar in Deluxe Tuner.
You can find it in the installed package:
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\calendar\
