Recent Questions

Q: In IE7 I see the deluxe-menu.com link on the top and no javascript navigation menu on my page.

A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in other
case there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all your
links (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a&tg;
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: Can the main menu items be set so they are all the same width without specifying pixel widths?


A: You should create Individual Style and assign this style for allitems.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150"], //style 0
];

  var menuItems = [

["DHTML Menus","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , ,"0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
["Apycom products","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
["Contacts","http://www.apycom.com/contact.html", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , , , ], // assign style 0
];


Q: Our default directory for the files is menudir
How do we get the software to recognize this default directory when generating the script and support files. The default needs to be added for the icon files etc.


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.
