Q: Thanks for getting back with me but how do you build the menu?

I opened Deluxe Tuner program to build a menu and there are categories titled common, dimensions, font, appearance etc. and I have NO IDEA what to do?

Can you walk me through the development of a menu?


A: First of all you should add items.
Please, click "Add item" and "Add subitem".
In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items. You can also assign different style for each menuitem (item style and submenu style).
But at first you should create this style. Click "Edit IndividualStyle/Add Style" and set different parameters for the style.

Try to set different parameters of the menu.
In the "Preview window" you can see all your changes.

First of all you should choose menu orientation:
  var isHorizontal = 1; Menu orientation: 0 - vertical, 1 - horizontal.

You can set exact width and height of the menu in the "Dimension"category.

You should set
  var absolutePos=1;
if you want to have absolute positioning menu.

Font style you can set in the "Font" category.

To set color of the menu you should set the following parameters:
  var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
  var menuBorderColor="#C0AF62";
  var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#FCEEB0","#4C99AB"];

Try also to change these parameters:
  var itemSpacing=3;
  var itemPadding="3px";

Arrows for main items and subitems you can set here:
  var arrowImageMain=["default.files/arrowmain.gif","default.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["default.files/arrowsub.gif","default.files/arrowsubo.gif"];

If want to have floatable or movable menu you should set the followingparameters:
  var floatable=0;

  var movable=0;

You can also try to change any template.


Q: I have one problem you may be able to help with:

If I set

  var tsaveState = 1;

The following errors are generated:

_tls is not defined

tob has no properties

and the menu doesn't display.

If you could help with this I would be grateful.


A: You should use dtree_ss.js file.

You should install your menu so:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree_ss.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/tree-data.js"></script>


Q: Pls help me with another question.

I have an horizontal menu in which the submenus drop down (as in example # 1 you have in your web).

For the first level items (which are horizontal), I do not want item spacing or itemPadding, that is:
  var itemSpacing=0;
  var itemPadding=0;

However, for the second and third level menu items, that drop down, I do need spacing and padding, like this:
  var itemSpacing=1;
  var itemPadding=1;

How can achieve this if, we have only one set of parameters??

Thank you very much and best regards


A: You should use Individual Styles.

You should set the following parameters:

  var itemSpacing = 0;
  var itemPadding = 0;

and create individual style for submenus
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackImage=images/subm_back.gif","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], // add Spacing and Padding to the style which is used for the third level menu items.
["columnPerSubmenu=2"],
["itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], //style 2
];

You should assign this style for the second and third level menu items

Q: We have two frames in a frameset, one for the menu and one for the content where the javascript menu frame expands normally without any problem. Our content frame's source is determined dynamically. The problem occurs when the content frame contains a page with another frameset in it. Unfortunately we can not avoid this for now. And when this happens our menu stops expanding.

A: Unfortunately it is really possible that you'll have problems in thatcase because the index of the content frame will be changed.

For example now you have:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frame> //content index=1
</frameset>
Your init function will be:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

But if you'll have frameset instead of content frame:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frameset>
<frame> // index=1
<frame> //content index=2
</frameset>
</frameset>
You should write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);

You should change your javascript menu frame init function in that case.
