Q: How can I set the padding for the dhtml horizontal menu text at the top? I want more padding on the left of the text but I don't want it centered.
A: You can set bigger left padding for your Submenu Style, for example:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 25px"],
];
itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 25px
top right bottom left
Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>

Q: Under Parameters ->> Dimensions ->menuWidth
Even I change the value such as 150px it doesn't have any effect on javascript dhtml menu itself.
Changing menuHeight property such as menuHeight = 123px moves menu down from the top of the page instead of changing height of the menu itself.
I used templates ->> vista -> vista style 3-03 to generate the javascript dhtml menu and modified it.
A: See, you have itemWidth and itemHeight in the Individual Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=94px","itemHeight=23px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=bold 10px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF", "itemBackImage=data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan.gif,data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You cannot set the less value for the menuwidth in that case. You canset only the bigger value:
var menuWidth="550px";
To change the menuHeight you should also use itemHeight parameter, forexample
itemHeight=123px
Q: I tried the new engine files and the submenus now show up in the bottom frame.
If the new page in the bottom frame is a frameset itself, the menus will not show up. Is there a work around for this?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only. It can't work within nested framesets.
