Q: Actually I think we've managed to figure most of the below out, so I'd be grateful if you could give us some pointers with the following instead...
How might we be able to include your javascript menu scripts within e.g. asp tags? We'd like some menu options to be hidden from some users, but I'm getting errors when I put asp tags in your data.js file.
A: It seems to me that you have syntactical error in your code.
Please, check that you don't have double quotes in your code. If you have several quotes you shoulduse back slashes before them, for example:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert(\'Test\');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>
["|Loan Profile","../pipeline/loan_profile.asp?id=<%=rsLoans('loan_id')%>", "", "","", "", "", "2"],
Q: I found the problem with de Deluxe Menus:
When the menu is inside the <DIV> </DIV> tags, the menu is shown, but does not scroll.
A: See, you use absolute position for this <div>
<div STYLE="position:absolute;top:151px; left:0px">
But you can use absolute position for the menu. Your menu will scrollin this case.
For example, you should set:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="0";
var posY="151px";
And install your menu
<div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</div>
Or, write:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
Q: The xml drop down menu gets at the back of the flash..Can you tell us the problem?
A: You can try to add the following parameters for flash objects:
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque> and WMODE="opaque" for <EMBED>
It allows to overlap a flash movie by other layers.
For example:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="40">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="data-samples/flash-deluxe-menu.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=best>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<EMBED src="data-samples/flash-deluxe-menu.swf" quality=best wmode="opaque" bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="40"NAME="data-samples/flash-deluxe-menu" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Q: You will see I got the first level looking amazing.. this is exactly what I wanted. The interesting thing I figured out was not to use the item border.. this was messing things up. You may notice that when each item highlights.. there is a 1px white line at the separators.. but this is not produced with the item border, but rather from the separator itself which I made in two 1 pixel lines, one blue, on white.. this created that effect.
So now my only problem left is to figure out how to bring this look into the submenus. I was thinking it would be nice to use the separators in the same way throughout the submenus. There does not however seem to be a way to do this. When I tried inserting a separator into a submenu.. nothing happened... I am probably doing this wrong.
Can you please show me how to create the same look I have in the first level in the submenus.. this would be helpful.
I must say, this menu is finally starting to look the way I originally envisioned it. I am very happy. =o)
Thank you so much for all the help you have given me.
A: To add separators in submenus you should write it so:
["|-",] //first level submenus
["||-",] //second level submenus
and so on.
Try that.
