Q: I have a new poblem. The submenus of my dropdown menu php are going up instead of down.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
Q: Many thanks for your response.
What I meant to say was that the Deluxe tabs onmouseover maker did not include the vertical tabs as part of its repertoire and as a result, I was not able to produce it and integrate it into my page. I am not confident that I can edit the HTML adequately to make it work on my site if the Deluxe Maker did nod not generate it. I will look at this again and see if I reinstall the deluxe tuner whether it will generate the data for the vertical tabs.
Many Thanks for your assistance.
A: Set '$' symbol in the beginning of items text to start new row:
var bmenuItems = [
["Item 39","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["$Item 40","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["$Item 41","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["$Item 42","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
You can open the data file for this sample in Deluxe Tuner and changeit.
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus Trial\deluxe-tabs\tabs-vertical.js
Q: Can I install the menu using my buttons? I might be able to do it if the buttons used only one image, but they use two images. One is light and the other dark.
I also have some questions:
1) Will the menu stay in view when the user scrolls down?
2) I'm not even sure I care if the menu stays in view, because I believe that is done using php and is not good for SEO. The file that the search engines see is index.html while the file that visitors see is home.php. I think it would be better for SEO to have a normal .html page. Are you able to do that?
A: See how you should make image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "menu1a.gif", "menu1b.gif", "Home Page"]
1) You should use floatable feature.
See the following parameter:
var floatable=1;
2) You can generate search engine friendly code using Deluxe Tuner:
"Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code".
Q: Thank you for the information and especially for your good explaination of the ways DHTML and Java work with menus. I want to get a menu because I was asked to base a new web site on one that used 'showpage.asp' calls to createtheir menus. Can you throw some light on how I would go about doing that?
A: Deluxe Menu and Java Menus work on aclient side only and they don't depend on the server which you'reusing and they don't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Please, try the trial version of the menu. You can use GUI to createyour menu. You can find it in the trial package.
