Q: Do you plan to implement a fix in the cross browser drop down menu for the pointer - many of our users have complained that it is very un-intuitive - surely it must be possible to change the pointer to a hand if there is a link. I have tried putting <a> tags in to the menu labels, but it only changes to a hand if the actual label text is highlighted - it obviously should change whichever part of the box is highlighted? Is there no other workaround?
A: If you set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
You'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.
Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: I bought your product Deluxe Menu.
I wanted to ask you for this problem:
I'd like to put on my home page two java menu examples, one in the right side and one in the left side. I tried to create two java menu examples and put them in the home page with the command PHP include, but the menus don't work correctly. I think the menus search for the same javascript function and so there are problems. How can I solve this kind of problem?
A: You can use as many java menu examples as you want on the same page.
But notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js fileon the page only once.
Q: I have changed the font parameters for the menu, but it only seems to affect the dropdown parts, the main menu font doesn't change, and I would like them to be consistent. How do I fix this?
A: Please, make sure that you don't use Individual Item Styles for themain items. If you're using styles you should change font in thisstyles.
Q: Hello, I very much like your components and will most likely buy one or more (or all!) of them for multi domain use after evaluating, I am however finding a problem with the Deluxe Popup javascript menu windows when it contains Flash content and I am resizing the window in IE6 or IE7, is this a known issue? Do you need an example of what I am referring to? We intend to use a lot of Flash content inside the windows so this is a big issue I need to resolve or workaround somehow, it seems fine in other browsers however.
Also do you have examples of how a window can be manipulated after creation, for example altering its position, width/height, window title and content etc with JS? Such an example would probably save me time evaluating.
A: To overlap your flash file you should add opaque parametersto your flash, for example:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="566" height="250" title="Intro">
<param name="movie" value="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="566" height="250"></embed>
</object>
