Q: Please kindly help to this problem, in my pass few weeksI'm using my deluxe menu and I can type arabic text there, but now its seems that the software is not recognizing the arabic text, from my screenshot you can understand that it shows a different symbols although im typing arabic font.
Now I couldnt type arabic font and I have existing projects website and need to edit it again but I can't coz my software is not recognizing the arabic text.
A: Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.
You should manually correct your code.
And after you create your menu you can open your data file (created inDeluxe Tuner) in any text editor (click F4 on this file) and add your text parameter, forexample:
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , , , , ],
...You should enter text to "Home", "Product Info", "|Features","|Installation","||Description of Files" fields in the text editor.Try that.
Q: I want to be able to pull information into dynamic drop down menu from the mysql database.
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: The only one I wanted to change is that the colors of all items in the cool dhtml menu should be the same.
I tried to change that, but I did not find a solution.
A: You should change Individual style.
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPTitleBackColor=#AFB1C3","tXPTitleBackImg=data-quelle.files/xptitle_s.gif",
"tXPExpandBtn=data-quelle.files/right1.gif,data-quelle.files/right1.gif,
data-quelle.files/right1.gif,data-quelle.files/right1.gif"],
Q: Buttons are working great! Client would now like to have the rollover image stay active on the page they are on. They would like the button to stay white when you navigate to a particular page, i.e. If you click on "Press", when you get to that page, the button stays white, while all the others react in the normal manner. Is this possible?? I have seen it on other sites and it seems like it should be possible. Please let me know. I believe it could be done by creating a separate menu for each page, but that seems like a lot of work. I am sure you have a solution.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
