Q: I am attempting to use the deluxe menu with frames. After click a few links the popup part of the menu stops showing up. This especially happens if the content of the main frame requires scrolling. In this case the scroll bar just flickers when I put the mouse over the menu.

Do you know why this would happen?


A: We need to check your menu.
Please, send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.

Please, notice also that Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only.
It can't work within nested framesets. It is possible that you'll havesome errors.

The menu will work correctly in the cross-frame mode if you load pages into the sub frame from the same domain.If you load pages from another domain submenus won't be shown in the subframe - they will be shown in the frame with the top-menu.It's caused by a security policy of browsers - a script can't modify a content of pages from another domain.


Q: I need to create a link drop down menu for a site that has the top level menuhave no border but I want any of the sub menu popups to have aborder around them (or a different background color for the menuarea for the popup). I can not see a way to do this? If a put a menu border on it appears on both the top level and any submenu popups.

A: You should set the following parameters:

1)   var menuBorderWidth=0;
2) Create Submenu Style

  var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderStyle=solid","menuBorderColor=#7E5927"], //style 0
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner. Click "Edit Individual Styles" and thenchoose "Submenu Styles" tab.

3) Assign Individual Style for your submenus.
You can assign them only for the first item in each submenu.
For example:

  var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0
 ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
   ["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0
   ["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Parameters Info","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: I want to set links in a text, which opens html pop up window and not to open the Window on start.

A: You can specify the ID of the element you want to click on.
Actions sections in Deluxe Tuner, onClick parameter.

1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage.
For example you have:

<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>

So, in Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.

Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.

2) You can also use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.

More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")

Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file
if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.

content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.

Q: Under Opera everything works fine but under IE the submenu’s are way down the page and go off the bottom of the screen.


A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.

Please, try to add your

css file -> inline css, for example:

You should add style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"

to the

<DIV class=department-menu>

So, you'll have:

<DIV class=department-menu style="POSITION: absolute;PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;">
