Recent Questions Javascript Tree Menu
Q: We've used your deluxe menu on a few sites without any issues. We are trying a new site javascript menu system now and having an issue with beforeItemImage and afterItemImage. Below is our data javascript class. The dropdown seems fine in Firefox but the before and after Images are not showing up in Internet Explorer.
We've tried a number of things and can't quite get the tabbed corners in IE. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated, we need to get this menu live soon for a client of ours. Thank you in advance.
A: Try to specify width and height parameters:
var beforeItemImageW="6";
var afterItemImageW="6";
var beforeItemImageH="19";
var afterItemImageH="19";
We've checked your page in IE6, IE7, IE8. All images displayed correctly.
Q: I have tried various different ways,I cannot get a separator image I have specified in the Separators section to display for the navigation-bar-menu. I have verified that the image exists, but still nothing.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in Deluxe
Tuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||-"],
["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],

</div>
Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.
Here is my code:
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowWidthSub=0;
var arrowHeightSub=0;
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?
A: You should check the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";
Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.
For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html
In menu.js file you should write:
var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
