Kindly help us to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  var menuItems = [

["About Us<br> ","/index.asp?pgid=2", , , , , "0", , , ],

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: The dropdown menu works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using the other parameters to make it absolute... here is the html files, and the .js files included in a zip file.


A: Now on your website you have the following code:

["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...

On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.

You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...

You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.

  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";

and write

["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],


Q: Can search engines follow the menu items of the website design navigation?

A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
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:

<div id="dmlinks"> <a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.

Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
