- Submenus dropdown on mouseover - Top items and submenus have a shadow - Filters and Transitional effects - Items with icons - Sound support! - Cross-frame support - menus work on frameset-based pages - Unlimited number of sub levels - Inactive/Disabled items
Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.
Q: I am very interested in using your deluxe menu products for my new website design, particularly the Tree Menu. I've been looking at the javascript tree source and am a bit worried that the links used will not be recognised by Search Engine robots - do you have any information regarding implementation of your menus so that the links are fully visible to search engines ?
A: You can generate search engine friendly code. Deluxe Tree is a search engine friendly menu since v2.4. To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
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: The submenu pop is appearing above the menu instead of the bottom again even though I have set the following parameter var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
A:Use new engine files and set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.
A: How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1. 1.1 For Windows users a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0 (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0 http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip). b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/Open… c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor. b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are: - dmenu.js - dmenu4.js - dmenu_add.js - dmenu_dyn.js - dmenu_key.js - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00) - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
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:
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).
