Q: I am a web designer, my question is do I have to buy a license for each website I install this css dropdown menu or do I buy it once and use it for all my projects?
A: We have different license types.
You can buy Deluxe Menu for the single domain name.
If you want to use the menu on the several domain names you can buyMultiple Website License and generate your own keys for the domainnames.
If you don't want to generate reg. keys for the domain names youcan buy Developer license. With the Developer license you can use the menu on an unlimited number of Internet or Intranet sites and on the local machines.This version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to a domain name, so it can be used with an application that doesn't have a fixed domain name.

Q: Hi, I am looking at your Deluxe Menu package. It looks very nice, but I cannot find any kind of manual for how to use it. There's some online documentation on the Tuner, but (for example) I can't find anything that documents the dm_popup window open options. I find some sample code I can copy that has the call
return dm_popup(0, 1000, event)
1. So, what do these parameters mean?
2. It takes a long time for the menu to go away if you don't click anything. From tracing through the obfuscated javascript with firebug, it looks like the second parameter sets a timeout to make the menu go away. But when I change the "1000" to "1", the menu does not appear to behave any differently.
3. If I want to have more than one of these menus show up on the page, how would I do that?
4. I have it set up to show the popup when you right-click a page element. However, the menu items only appear to fire if you then left-click them. This is confusing to the user: I'd like to have the menu items also fire when you right-click them for consistency. How would I configure this?
These are the kinds of questions I would like to have answers to, but I cannot find any relevant documentation. Do I have lots of tracing through javascript ahead of me? If I have just missed the relevant documentation, please tell me where to find it. I would love to use your product, but if I have to spend all my time tracing javascript it's not a big win for me. Thanks for your assistance.
A: 1) You can find window open options info on our website:
http://deluxe-menu.com/popup-mode-sample.html
Click "Show additional info" button on this page.
2) You should adjust the second parameter in dm_popup() function:dm_popup(0, 500, event);
3) See the first parameter in the dm_popup() function is menuInd, soif you want to create several popup menus you should create severaldata file and call them on your page, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0 //standard menu (doesn't use popup feature)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4
and so on.
See how you should call dm_popup() functions:
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
....
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(2, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
// 3 - is ID of the fourth menu
... and so on.
4) Unfortunately it is not possible now.
Unfortunately we don't have additional documentation yet. But you canfind all need info on our website. Try to use search field on ourwebsite.

You can dynamically generate the menu structure. For example movemenuItems into your phph page (or embed in a Smarty Template) insideSCRIPT tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Terminal","index.php?form=TERMINAL&tid={$tid}"],
["Kassenschnitte","index.php?form=KS&tid={$tid}"],
["Buchungen Debit","index.php?form=DEBIT&tid={$tid}"],
["Kredit- / Bonuskarten","index.php?form=KREDIT&tid={$tid}"],
["Rucklastschriften","index.php?form=RLAST&tid={$tid}"],
["Monatsstatistik","index.php?form=STATISTIK&tid={$tid}"],
["RL-H.Rechnung","index.php?form=RLASTABR&tid={$tid}"],
["LiveStream","index.php?form=LIVESTREAM&tid={$tid}"],
["Reports","index.php?form=REPORTS&tid={$tid}"],
["Datenhistorie","index.php?form=HISTORY&tid={$tid}"],
["Bankleitzahlen","index.php?form=BLZ&tid={$tid}"],
["<br />Ihre Nutzerdaten","index.php?form=NDATEN&tid={$tid}"],
["<br />{$NAVI}",""],
];
dm_init();
</script>Q: I have been working with the trial package for the last couple of days, of which I have been really impressed with. However there have been a couple of things that have frustrated me greatly...
The natural place that I first tried was replacing the "content1" line with a direct URL in the var bmenuItems section but this made no difference at all. I am also trying to work out what each set of "" equate to as I have found a couple of pages on the Internet very similar to this but none of them have nine different sections.
["Home","content1", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
Is it possible to allow one of the tabs on this template to just open another page? I look forward to your response in regards to these questions and hope to hear from you again soon so that I can crack on with this project.
A: You can't assign links in Dhtml Tabs when you're using var tabMode = 0;.
You can assign only the object's ID of <div> on your page.
Try to set var tabMode = 1;
and use links for your items.
Q: Can your javascript menu examples be used when developing and deploying and running a site using Tomcat-Apache and JSP's? Apache's will be the web server.
Do you provide set up instructions for Apache web server?
A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript product. It means that it is executed on a client side, not on a server side.So, whatever server you'll use, your menu will work fine.
