Q: Hello, I very much like your components and will most likely buy one or more (or all!) of them for multi domain use after evaluating, I am however finding a problem with the Deluxe Popup javascript menu windows when it contains Flash content and I am resizing the window in IE6 or IE7, is this a known issue? Do you need an example of what I am referring to? We intend to use a lot of Flash content inside the windows so this is a big issue I need to resolve or workaround somehow, it seems fine in other browsers however.
Also do you have examples of how a window can be manipulated after creation, for example altering its position, width/height, window title and content etc with JS? Such an example would probably save me time evaluating.
A: To overlap your flash file you should add opaque parametersto your flash, for example:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="566" height="250" title="Intro">
<param name="movie" value="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="566" height="250"></embed>
</object>

I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
Q: I used the glass template to create my menu.... but I needed to add additional tabs, and my additional tabs do not look like the rest of the net dropdown menu tabs... its like the end-caps on the images are not there and I don’t find any clear instruction on how to get my added tabs to look like the existing ones.
A: You should assign Individual styles for the new items. You can findthis info in the Templates window.
Q: Can search engines follow the items of navigation menu?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on your page.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
