Q: I must say, I'm glad I found your products! I am thoroughly impressed with your products! Once we get everything figured out and our menu set up, we'll be purchasing a license for our site.
However, I did have a question. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the individual menu styles to be applied to any of my java script menu items through the Deluxe Tuner. I've looked through through your documentation, but I cannot find anything that explains to me how I do this in the Deluxe Tuner. All I could find is this link:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html Which I don't quite fully understand, and by the looks of it, it doesn't appear to explain to me how I customize my individual menu item styles through the Deluxe Tuner.
Could you please either explain to me how to do this, or provide me a link that gives me directions on how to get this to work.
I look forward to doing business with you!
A: To create Individual styles click "Edit Individual Styles..." button.
1) In the "Individual Styles" window click "Add Style", enter the name
of the new style.
2) Edit java script menu parameters of your style
4) Click "OK" button.
5) Select items (you can use Ctrl and Shift buttons to select group ofitems) and assign "Item Style"/"Submenu Style" to it. (in the "Item Parameters" window)
Q: Is it possible to set the width for each individual tab in the html tab menu instead of having them size dynamically based on the tab name?
A: You can create Individual Items Style and assign it to your tabs.
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=100px"],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];
Q: I hope you have a instructions so we can install css menu in our website.
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
1. Create your Css menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New" and add items
and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on the main window.
See the parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/parameters-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File->Save Css Menu/Export HTML
So, you'll have folder with images and .css file ("deluxe-css-menu.files/" folder by default),
deluxe-css-menu.html file and deluxe-css-menu.js file with all menu parameters
(project file you need, if you want to modify your menu later,
there is no need to upload deluxe-css-menu.js on your server).
Open deluxe-css-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows of
code into your page (for example index.html page of your website).
Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).
<head>

<link type="text/css" href="deluxe-css-menu.files/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all images and .css file
into the same folder with your index.html page.

Try that.Q: I want to buy your product today, but have a few questions:
How do I change the font style for java menu templates to 9pt Verdana bold, but leave the sub-menus 9pt Verdana normal? I understand there’s a "fontStyle" variable, but is there an "itemfontStyle"? How do I make the left hand padding greater for the menu? I’m using the XP Style 1 and the far left top menu item is running up against my left hand border. I want to add about 10px of spacing to the left of the menu. How do I make the options in a menu have equal spacing? For instance, if there are 5 items in the menu, how can each have 100% / 5?
A: You can use Individual Item styles to set specific parameters for eachitem or submenu.
1.
var fontStyle=["normal 9pt Verdana","normal 9pt Verdana"]; //for subitems
//style for the top items
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
];
2., 4. You should specify itemPadding parameter in "px". You shouldadd "px" in your style for subitems:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Notice also that you can set multiple value for itemPadding parameter,for example:
itemPadding=4px 10px 4px 10px
top right bottom left
4. You should set the exact width for the java menu templates:
var menuWidth="500px";
and set width for the top items using Individual styles:
["itemWidth=100px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
Unfortunately it is not possible to specify item's width in '%' inIndividual styles. The following width parameters won't work.
var menuWidth="100%";
["itemWidth=20%","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
