Q: How to select a different background (colour or images) in the link drop down menu?
A: Actually you can create any menu you like with Deluxe Menu.
You can use Individual Styles to set background image(color) for the items
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackColor=#FFF000,#AAAAAA","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,
deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
];
oryou can use images instead of icons (you should delete item's text).
["","", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_green.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: What I meant was that there is an API function dm_ext_changeItem that allows you to specify 8 dropdown menu parameters in an array. What if I only want to change one of them like the link for example? What do I specify in my function call to leave the other 7 parameters unchanged? Do I specify the existing values? Or, can I just put in a comma with no parameter? That would be a lot easier. Thank you.
A: You should specify only dropdown menu parameters you want to change.
You should just put a commas with no parameters, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "Deluxe Menu Hint",,"1"]);
Q: Question is where in the data file configuration or within the menu Tuner would I inseart the icons for individual item labels and center them over the text or other alignments like you did in the horizontal menu on the deluxe-menu.com web site?
A: You should write, for example, so:
["<img src='data.files/micon1.gif' width=32 height=32><br> Home","testlink.html", , ,"" , , , , , ],
Q: I do have issues. There are not the problems when you are on the home page (you can click on one of the dropdown submenus and go there.
However, when you try to go to another page from there to another page on a nother drop down, nothing happens except javascript erros. The dropdowns physical work, in that they drop down, but the links don't go anywhere. Does that make sense.
A: See, the problem was in your dmWorkPath parameter
On all pages placed in the subfolder you should write it in thefollowing way:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../ifnav.files/";</script>
Please, correct it.
You should also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
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
Please, use pathPrefix_link parameter.
