Q: I purchased the right to use deluxe-menu because I liked how it worked versus my old menu which is your competitor (milonic menu) in the javascript driven menu market.
However, after using your menu for a few months, I have discovered a problem. When I bought the menu, the claim was made it worked with all doctypes. I use "strict" on my web site and want my pages to validate as strict with W3C or WDG validators.
I get a notice of incorrect copyright when I remove the link to yoursite in the heading of the document. Since this line does not validate,I feel that you should provide an adequate alternative to having a unsubstantiated line in your html code. I have looked over the FAQ on your site and have found no remedy. You have a wonderful product and I wish to continue to use your menu. But this one little bugaboo surely can be fixed on your end by altering the requirement to keep the incorrect copyright from appearing even though it shouldn't appear in my opinion.
For instance, I can alter the line and make the link invisible.
Example: <noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com"></a></noscript>
By making the link invisible with no text, it will mean nobody would see the blatant ad for your site. The incorrect copyright notice does not appear under those circumstances, however it still does not validate.
I just want to create web pages that validate! Please help me as a struggling web author to achieve my goal and still use your menu which I paid for! Thanks for any help you can give me.
I love my deluxe-menu! Please help to keep using it.
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Try to move <noscript> tag into the <body> tag.
Q: All of a sudden I'm getting the 'Incorrect Copyright" on two of my sites.??
Here's what I have in the file:
<!-- Deluxe Menu, Deluxe-Menu.Com -->
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.Com/>Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.Com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">vardmWorkPath = "menudir/dmenu.js";</script>
<!-- (c) 2005, Deluxe-Menu.Com -->
What's wrong??
A: What version of the menu you're using?
Now we have new version of the menu v2.4. We've fixed "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE7 in it.
How to upgrade to v2.4

You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.4 has new parameters and features.

c. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
d. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users

Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent <noscript></noscript> tags of the menu by the following code:

Q: Very interested by your product, I want to know, before buy, if I can call javascript function when the user click on a menu Items;
you have this example, but I want the possibility to call a javascript function in the client side :
var menuItems = [
[text, "javascript:alert('Hello, world!')", icon1, icon2],
];
Is it possible, if yes could you give the sample, because Milovic menu have a javascript:function call, what about your product ?
Thank you for the answer.
A: You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:
var menuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];
Unfortunately we don't have such example.
Q: In dhtml xml menu, is possible call javascript when click on an item without close the menu?
A: In Deluxe Menu you can use the following parameter:
var smHideOnClick=1;
Hides submenus on click
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled.
