Q: I am having problems with my html files that are located in sub folders of my site the menu html does not work on them.If they are in the root directory there is no problem.
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
Q: Also I have a problem getting the separator to show in my javascript right click menu. I have individual settings for the main menu items. I then tried to place an after item image, and they will show, though then the mouseover image does not work.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical javascript right click menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: I use Namo WebEditor 2006 to edit our site.
I used your program to create a drop down menu but when I try to paste the script into my editor I don't get the menu. I have read your instructions and followed them step by step several times but I have had no success. Can you please assist me.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage
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 menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Q: But where on javascript drop down menu creator I can set the dmsearch=2 ? I can't find it, there isn't an option or submenu for the search box on the left side of deluxe tuner.
A: Use last version of javascript drop down menu creator v3.2.
You can find
var dmSearch=2;
parameter in the "Advanced" section of parameter's list.
Then you should select an item (where you want to add search box), forexample first item and add
search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'
code into the "Link" field directly ("Item Parameters" window).
