Q: Our default directory for the files is menudir
How do we get the software to recognize this default directory when generating the script and support files. The default needs to be added for the icon files etc.
A: 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'm interested in using DHTMLMenu in web applications I develop and have some questions about licensing.
My company develops web applications that act as front ends for clients' legacy mainframe programs. DHTML Menu would be of great benefit in adding navigation functionality to these applications. Each application is custom-developed for each client, so we don't have a pre-packaged product in which the menu would be used. Would the Developer License meet our needs for this sort of development?
Also, a small minority of our clients develop and distribute applications themselves based on the applications that we develop for them. Does the Developer License support transferable redistribution? If not, how much would a license that permitted this cost?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
A: Yes, Developer License will suit you.
You can use it within your applications and distribute them.
Q: I am trying to update a website using a deluxe-menu, but I do not understand the instructions for inserting it into a framed site. I have everything working, and the menu is on the page. I just cannot figure out how to make the submenus appear in another frame.
The website makes it sound like I need to alter the data.js file, but I do not have any programs on my computer that will allow me to do so.
A: You can open your data.js file in any text editor and add such linedm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0); instead of dm_init();

Q: How to include the search box in the navigation menubar?
A: Use the following javascript menu parameter to enable/disable the "search support" for the Deluxe menu:
var dmSearch=2;
0-nosearch; 1-ordinary search (within one level of submenus only); 2-recursive (within the whole menu).
Set item's link to "search:", for example:
["","search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'", "", ],
