Q: Greetings. How do I make a menu item as default selected and open when the page loads with the dhtml menu bar script? Thanks.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu bar script by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dhtml menu bar script on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: When the menus drop down the background is white but it is see through, this is ok on the homepage but on the other pages it is making the text unreadable. Is there a way of keeping the background of the submenus solid so it isn't see through javascript expanding menu?
A: You should set the following parameter:
var transparency="100";
Q: Please kindly help to this problem, in my pass few weeksI'm using my deluxe menu and I can type arabic text there, but now its seems that the software is not recognizing the arabic text, from my screenshot you can understand that it shows a different symbols although im typing arabic font.
Now I couldnt type arabic font and I have existing projects website and need to edit it again but I can't coz my software is not recognizing the arabic text.
A: Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.
You should manually correct your code.
And after you create your menu you can open your data file (created inDeluxe Tuner) in any text editor (click F4 on this file) and add your text parameter, forexample:
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , , , , ],
...You should enter text to "Home", "Product Info", "|Features","|Installation","||Description of Files" fields in the text editor.Try that.
Q: I was able to install the rollover dropdown menu pretty easily. However, how do I make the text of it bigger for the main items? I can change the text easily for the subitems.
I can't find anyway to do this. Also, if I edit the size of the before/after for the buttons, do I need to edit anything else in the javascript? Most of their heights is 23px but I wnat to make it 27px.
Let me know and I will purchase the software if I can get it to work.
A: Try to change Individual Item styles. I suppose that you're usingIndividual style for the top items now.
