Recent Questions

Q: If you look at our site in IE (PC) the deluxemenu looks great justified left w/ our logo justified right. When you look at it in Safari (Mac) the dhtml menu dropdown is stretched across the entire width of the page and our logo is no longer in view (yuk!).

A: Try to set exact width for the menu in 'px':

  var menuWidth="300px";



Q: No matter where I paste the script in the html for the drop down menu I created, it shows up at the top left corner of the page.

I would like it to go below the blue banner at the top of the page.
Please advise as to what I am doing wrong.


A: Now you're using absolute position for the menu:

  var absolutePos=1;
  var posX="10px";
  var posY="10px";

Try to use relative position

  var absolutePos=0;
  var posX="10px";
  var posY="10px";


Q: Does your menu have the ability to have small text boxes on it?
For example the search box on your main page under your logo.


A: You can use any html code within item text, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["<input type=text value='field'>text", ],
];

Try that.


Q: You've been helping me with some issues on the Deluxe Tree Menu system my company has purchased and most issues are resolved, so thank you! One big problem remains though and we can't seem to figure it out, so I hope you can help.

What we want is, when a user enters our site from the index (home) page then clicks on a link and the sub-page opens, for the dhtml menu tree to be open to the section the user is in and viewing. We also DO NOT want the browser to save the state of the menu, since that is inconsistent with where the user is in the site. Note: we do not use the Menu on the home page, is this a problem?

Per your tech support email, I've added the expand code, which works going from the home page to sub-pages. However, it interferes with navigating to other sub-pages once your in the site. The menu doesn't keep the section open, it closes back up. You mentioned the expand code has to be entered on every page....is that so in this instance and if so, that's a maintenance nightmare - does a better way exist for this type of menu?

Then we activated the "save state" option and the menu stays open on the sub-pages, but the expand option doesn't work.
It's like they cancel each other out and you can only have one or the other.

Can I get these two to work together? What do I need to do? Is it better to use the XP-style menu?

A: When user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page and the script re-create the dhtml menu tree.
If you want to open the needed section automatically on load you can use the following:

1. Save the state to cookies
2. Use frames
3. Put the special script on each page of site that will open appropriate section.
