Q: I used Deluxe Menu and generated a beautiful drop down navigation menu for our school web page. however, I am using MS FrontPage and apparently it is blocking the content. Whenever I bring it into the program all I get is a text drop down navigation menu. What am I doing or not doing?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the drop down navigation menuinto your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner
2. open the page in Frontpage
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>//your data file created in Deluxe Tuner
...
</body>
You should copy all engine files and images for the drop down navigation menu in "deluxe-menu.files/" folder and paste it in the same folder with you .html files.
Engine files:
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
That's all.
It is possible that you'll have errors in the preview but your drop down navigation menushould work fine in the browser.
Q: The mentioned effect occurs even when the entire page is completely loaded!
As we explained before, it occurs only when we view the page with explorer 6.
(It is working fine under explorer 7 and under Firefox, so you should check it under explorer 6)
Please see the following link with our test page which demonstrates the problem.
As you will see, the buttons of the javascript menu scroll and the text will disappear (become white) while you move the mouse cursor over the menu buttons. It has nothing to do with page loading.
We are using a "Vista style" javascript menu scroll with custom design pictures.
A: This is IE6 bug.

Q: Is it possible to open a specific tab using javascript in the horizontal tabbed?
A: You can try to use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
Q: How do I go about using the menu javascripts feature and javascript popup on the same HTML page? I'm getting a Java Error.
A: 1) Notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once on yourhtml page.
2) When you have several menus on the same page they have different menuInd (0,1,2,3...)
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"></script> //popup menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);">
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"> </script> //popup menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
