Q: I'm having trouble getting some of my dhtml menus free opening in the frm2. If you look under products, then Hard drives, then Rugged Airborne .....this one and Rugged Ground will not open in frm2 but the Contact Us and Get Quote are working fine. Can you help me get these things to open in a frm2.
A: You should write your menu items correctly.
Now you have
["||Rugged Airborne","../RuggedAirborne.htm","Airborne,"frm2","0", ],
["||Rugged Ground","../RuggedGround.htm","Ground","frm2","0", ],
it is not correct.
You should write:
["||Rugged Airborne","../RuggedAirborne.htm","","","Airborne,"frm2","0", ],
["||Rugged Ground","../RuggedGround.htm","","","Ground","frm2","0", ],
Q: I am trying to have the selected top menu w dhtml item remain on the mouseover event after it is selected. It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal. How do i get this to work.
I tried removing the variable from the data file and calling it using
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> var pressedItem=set 1,2,3 depending on page </script>
but this does not seem to work as it does for tabs.
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
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">menu w dhtml 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 menu 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: I have a problem...
On some computers running IE the menu appears and works correctly, on others it doesn't appear.
There is only a line that says JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com.
Both of these computers have the same version of IE running. I have reset the security levels back to default levels on both. Still the menu doesn't appear.
For all practical purposes both copies of IE are the same.
A: You should change your security settings in IE to allow Javascript onpages you load. In other case you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can also use Deluxe Tuner application that allows you to generate additional html code for search engine that can't parse Javascript. So, you can use menu links on browsers that doesn't have Javascript support enabled.
