Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: I've just put together a new drop down menu box for one of the sites I'm working on and whilst in IE it works fine, in FF the drop down menu box is not appearing over the Flash banner.

I don't understand why as this was put together with the latest version of Deluxe Menu - my understanding was that this issue was resolved a while back?

Can you help me sort this.

A: See fix for flash in Firefox here:

Q: Although our college standard is IE, a lot of our students use firefox. I tried the css drop menu in Firefox 2, and it works, but the nice transition effect isn't there. Will you make this work soon?

A: Transparency and other transitional effects are supported by IE 5.5+only. This is MS IE feature. Other browsers don't support them.



Q: I am very interested in using your deluxe menu products for mynew website design, particularly the Tree Menu.
I've been looking at the code and am a bit worried that the links used will not berecognised by Search Engine robots.
Do you have any information regarding implementation of dhtml treemenu 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:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...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: The mentioned effect occurs even when the entire page is completely loaded!

As we explained before, it occurs only when we view the page with explorer 6.

(It is working fine under explorer 7 and under Firefox, so you should check it under explorer 6)

Please see the following link with our test page which demonstrates the problem.

As you will see, the buttons of the javascript menu scroll and the text will disappear (become white) while you move the mouse cursor over the menu buttons. It has nothing to do with page loading.

We are using a "Vista style" javascript menu scroll with custom design pictures.

A: This is IE6 bug.
