Recent Questions

Q: I'm wondering if you can use the Link Item of the Deluxe Menu to have ASP code, similar to yoru FAQ below, only replacing the Javascript with ASP?

Q: I want to use Javascript instead of usual links for menu items. How can I do that? A: To do that you should add a function word "javascript" in the URL field of an item, e.g.:

  var menuItems = [
[text, "javascript:alert('Hello, world!')", icon1, icon2],
];


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

You can use any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.

You can find the example with PHP here:

Q: I am trying the menu and facing one problem…

The text is too large and doesn't wrap around.. instead it makes the dhtml menu layers wider.

My dhtml menu layers needs to be 175 px only.. if there are to many characters in the link, I like it to wrap around to the next line…

Any options?

A: You should set the following dhtml menu layers parameter:

  var noWrap=0;

You can also use standard <br> tags inside item's text:

["All Card <br>Envelopes","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],



Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.

What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?

I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html

And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.


A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.

If you have, for example such file structure:

     deluxe-menu_files/
      dmenu.js
      data.js
     images/
     html_pages/
      page1.html
      page2.html

     index.html

So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
    ["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
    ["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
    ["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: I am having great problems making my tab working, I seems to select the second tab by default.

I have looked in your frequent asked questions and tried the below suggestion, I have not used the registered domain as I am in the process of design.

  var bselectedItem = 3;

Where 3 is the number of your menu item from the   var bmenuItems parameter.
  var bmenuItems =
[
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"],
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"],
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"],
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], // selected tab
];
The ID of the item starts with 0.
Try that.

But without success?

Any idea?

Please advice


A: See, the ID of the item starts with 0.

So, if you use TabMode (  var tabMode=1;):

  var bselectedItem = 10;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 2
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 3
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 4
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 5
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 6
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 7
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 8
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 9
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], // selected tab ID = 10
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 11
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 12

If you use tabs (  var tabMode=0;):

  var bselectedItem = 2;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 2 // selected tab
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 3
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 4
