Q: Do the Vista style menus support a separator?
It seems to add some space but the separator line is not drawn.


A: Yes, you can paste a separator in the Vista style menus.

Please, see the following parameters:

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
  var separatorWidth="5";
  var separatorHeight="100%";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
  var separatorVWidth="3";
  var separatorVHeight="100%";
  var separatorPadding="";

You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],

];
Try that.


Q: Is there a way to convert a dhtml javascript tree menu I created into a Deluxe Menu using the same data so I do not have to type in all the names and links of items?

A: Actually menuItems and tmenuItems have a different structure.

  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
];

  var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFilename],
];

We don't have such converter yet. You can try to change your menuItems in any text editor. I suppose it will be easier to convert items in editor than in Deluxe Tuner.


Q: I'm having multiple problems with this now, I'm using this sight in the horizontal cross-frame style. And using the CSS-type layout.

Problems:

1. This appears to be working fine in Firefox but I can't see the Menu or frames in Internet Explorer.

2. I have changed the colors in the data.js and the css-mode.css files and still can't change the subMenu background colors. ( I have put everything back like it was, but for example if I want to change the submenu or drop down menu background color to grey and the mouseover color to red where do I change that at)? Do I edit the .css file or the data.js file

3. I can't get the links to open in the bottom frame ( I know you will see that it's set to _blank now, but I tried setting the   var itemTarget="_bottommenu"; and the code in the menu section at the bottom of the data.js to the same but it still doesn't seem to work. Can you help me out here?

I have attached the sight so that you can see what I'm dealing with.

Once again, thanks for your help and any advice.


A: 1) Your menu works fine in all browsers.

2) Your should add the following line into the bottommenu.htm file.
<link href="data-samples/css-mode.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>

You should set the item color for the submenus in your css file initemNormal and itemOver styles.

3) You should use the following parameter to set a frame name:

  var itemTarget="";

["Home","testlink.htm", "css/icon1.gif", "css/icon12.gif", "Home", "frm2", "0", "0", , ],
["Products","", "css/icon2.gif", "css/icon22.gif", "Products", , "0", , , ],
 ["|Hard Drives","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Servers",""],
   ["||Linux Compatible","testlink.htm", , , , "frm2",],
   ["||Windows Compatible","testlink.htm", , , , "frm2",],
...


Q: I figure I'm missing something basic ....

I've created a simple horizontal menu and uploaded the various files to to my website go generate the bar food menu

How do I add content to each tab rollovers so that the content will appear on this same page (as opposed to having to move to another page)?

i.e. when you click on starters, you see the starter below,
when you click on mains you see the mains below
etc. etc.

I'm new to this .....

A: You should paste your content in the <div> .. </div> tags.

<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DM.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Menu.com"></p>
</div>

<div id="content2" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DT.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Tree.com"></p>

</div>

<div id="content3" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DTabs.gif" width=254 height=58 alt="Deluxe-Tabs.com"></p>
</div>

See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:

1.   var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of theDIV's to show when you click on the tab rollovers.

["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

2.   var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.

["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],

You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')

So, you should write for example:

 ["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
