Q: My top levels over the menu have no link and as such I need the cursor not to change when hovering over it – only change over the menus that drop down.
Please let me know how to fix this
A: Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["< a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'> Home ["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use < a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: We are facing some problem, in our css drop menu. Please Advise -
When we used "Helvetica" font in deluxe menu, the css drop menu expand, if the above font not installed in user machine.
I would please request you to kindly assist me on the same as the client is getting impatient.
A: It is normal behaviour if there is no such font on the user machine.
You can try to write fonts in the following way:
"fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'"
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=top.files/,top.files/menuhoverbg.gif","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, , Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
["itemBackColor=#504B48,#7E7666","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#ffffff"],
];
Find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font will be Trebuchet MS.
You should choose the second font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
Q: The mentioned effect occurs even when the entire page is completely loaded!
As we explained before, it occurs only when we view the page with explorer 6.
(It is working fine under explorer 7 and under Firefox, so you should check it under explorer 6)
Please see the following link with our test page which demonstrates the problem.
As you will see, the buttons of the javascript menu scroll and the text will disappear (become white) while you move the mouse cursor over the menu buttons. It has nothing to do with page loading.
We are using a "Vista style" javascript menu scroll with custom design pictures.
A: This is IE6 bug.

Q: Do you support keyboard shortcuts (up/down through javascript for drop down menu)? I couldn't find an example of that.
Also, this one from OpenCube (exploding submenus) runs on Firefox too. No way to get that in yours?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't support transitional effect in Firefox. Thereis no way to do it in the current version of the menu. It is possiblethat we'll add this feature in the next versions.
Deluxe Menu has keyboard support. You can check it on our website
http://deluxe-menu.com/
Press Ctrl+F2 to enter/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate
Esc - exit the menu
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
