Q: I am having problems with the XP Taskbar Menu. When I use DOCTYPE in the following format, the task bar does not show up atall for the exception of a single line.
<!DOCTYPEhtmlPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
When I hover my mouse on top of that line the menu displays fine with no problems. So the problem is with the Start button and the taskbar – they do not show. Can you please advice on how to fix this problem while keeping the DOCTYPE as specified.
A: Try to set the exact width for the menu:
var menuWidth="685px";
Q: I just downloaded the Deluxe-Menu program. It looks very nice, but I keep getting this pop up while trying to set up my first menu:
"an error has occurred in the script on this page:
line 15
char 9
access is denied
code 0
with a link to the toolbar.html in my program files where the Deluxe Menu installed.
At this point, I am just trying my first menu - not using a browser.
(I normally use Firefox but also have IE installed).
A: I suppose that you're using Windows 2000.
We have some problems with Tuner on this OS.
Unfortunately we didn't fix the issue with Windows 2000 yet.
Try to delete all content from toolbar.html file.

Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.
It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.
The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.
For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.
I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.
A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:
menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif
You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.
This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).
IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.
So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.
Q: I have to pass dynamic value from the link when the user click the mouseover menu.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
