Q: We've been using Deluxe Menu for a couple of years now and we're very pleased with it. Recently, we switched to a layout heavy on CSS, and when we insert the javascript menu code into an absolutely-positioned div, the menu appears where it should, but the sub-menus drop down off to the side in both Firefox and IE. I've tried adjusting the x-offsets in the configuration file with negative values to bring them closer to the top-level menu item, but this doesn't seem to do the trick completely.
I also went through a number of sample questions in the support section of the Deluxe Menu site, but I haven't been able to find any sort of resolution.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be very appreciative.
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: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). 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="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px"
to the
<div id=div_name>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=div_name style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">aaspot_US~.Hration...M&Project Tool Configuration.Try that.
Q: I would like to call a popup window with javascript from a menu item.
A: You should add the code for popup window on your html page with the menu:
<!-- Deluxe Popup Window -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">menu drop down by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, DeluxePopupWindow.com -->
Inside menuItems you should open the window in the following way:
["Click to open Popup Window","javascript:deluxePopupWindow.open('window1',
'http://deluxepopupwindow.com', 'Popup window',
'width=420,height=300,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect',
'windowsvista_graphite','iframe')",
"", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],

For instance, I am using years in a submenu and the current year always needs to be at the top.
Is this possible with drag and drop or by some other means in the Tuner v2?
A: Yes you can do it.
You can find all info in our Help.
Please, see the text below:
To select a group of items you can use Shift and Ctrl keys.
To rename an item click on it and hold a mouse cursor for a second. Or use item parameters window.
To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.
Q: I just need to know if there is a way of establishing the width at "runtime" in the javascript dynamic menu so that my frame in my frameset can be widened accordingly.
A: There are no special parameters for menu dimensions.
But you can use submenu IDs. For example, top-menu has ID"dmXXXm0"
Where XXX - menu index. So, first menu on the page has ID "dm0m0".
So, you can determine menu dimensions so:
document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetWidth
document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetHeight
You can also use Javascript API functions to take submenu IDs.
