Q: Does your cool dhtml menu work on a Mac platform with Dreamweaver?
A: To create your cool dhtml menu on MAC you can use HTML version of Deluxe Tuner (for MAC OS). You can find it here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Unfortunately we don't have html version of the Tuner for Deluxe Treeand Deluxe Tabs now. We'll try to create it in the nearest future.
Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage/GoLIveBuilder extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see: http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your cool dhtml menu use Deluxe Tuner application
(included into the trial package): http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a menu with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: Is using this method this method (generate engine friendly code) the same as using normal html menus as far as spiders are concerned?
A: Yes, it is.
You will have such code:
<!-- Code for Deluxe Menu Items. Generated by Deluxe Tuner -->
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" href="testlink.html">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" href="testlink.html">Features</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Description of Files</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">How To Setup</a>

Q: But given the sample on
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
we want to delete menuentry 'Sample1' and do
dm_ext_deleteItem(2, 4, 0)
This raises an error but according to your javascript menu master manual the first argument should be the menuindex ....which is 2 in our opinion.
A: See, if you have several menus on your page they will have differentID's, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //ID=0
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //ID=1
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //ID=2
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //ID=3
So, if you have only one menu on your test page you should use ID=0
