Q: Why when an image is added to the parent javascript layer menu (bar) breaks in two...
I just purchased it today.
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_cyan.gif
btn_cyan2.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
You should also change items width in your Individual Item Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px
Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_cyan.gif,btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: I am having a problem trying to figure out how to generate a link to a popup window.
I looked at what you have on your site but it is not clear to me.
A: You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on your
page. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
In the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,
onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"
for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
Or you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or onMouseout on a link.
So, you should create a link (you can also use other object) on your page and set id="" for it,
forexample:
<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>
In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: Drop down menus I have created with your product DHTML Tuner don't look too good in FireFox... is there something I can do different or do you have a newer/better solution that would work for both IE and FireFox?
A: And what exact problems do you have in Firefox? Actually Deluxe Menu works fine inFirefox. But notice that filters and transitional effect are supported by IE5.5.5+ only.
