Q: Sorry to bother you again, but we've done everything suggested in your fix regarding flash obscuring the multiple drop down menu, but we're still having the same problem in Firefox.
We've - set the parameter in the data file to - var dmObjectsCheck=1;
We've added the following to the start of the data file -
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
We've embeded the flash as suggested to -
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
height="150" width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed height="150" name="if-header"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
src="images/flash/if-header.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="732" quality="best"
wmode="opaque" play="true">
</object>
But still our multiple drop down menu sits behind the flash. Are we missing something else?
A: See it is necessary to have opaque parameters in <object> and <embed>tags to display submenus correctly in Firefox.
So, you should open .js file for your flash and find "embed" and"object" words.
And add opaque parameters, for example:
swfNode = '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" src="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') +'"';
swfNode += ' id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" name="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params){ swfNode += [key] +'="'+ params[key] +'" '; }
var pairs = this.getVariablePairs().join("&");
if (pairs.length > 0){ swfNode += 'flashvars="'+ pairs +'"'; }
swfNode += '/>';
} else { // PC IE
if (this.getAttribute("doExpressInstall")) {
this.addVariable("MMplayerType", "ActiveX");
this.setAttribute('swf', this.xiSWFPath);
}
swfNode = '<object id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') + '">';
swfNode += '<param name="movie" value="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params) {
swfNode += '<param name="'+ key +'" value="'+ params[key] +'" />';
}
Q: Can you resize the height of a submenu button to 22px? (The main dhtml pulldown menu should remain the same height).
I am sending you html files. Please checked it out and is it possible in delux menu?
A: Set itemHeight=22px for the styles (dhtml pulldown menu and sub):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=200px","itemHeight=22px","itemBackImage=left.files/button-gradient.jpg,left.files/button-gradient.jpg", "fontStyle='normal 14px Arial','normal 14px Arial'","fontColor=#ccd0d1,#a3a377","fontDecoration=none,none"],
["itemHeight=22px","itemBackImage=left.files/button-gradient.jpg,left.files/button-gradient.jpg","itemBorderWidth=1", "itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#a3a377,#a3a377","fontStyle='normal 12px Arial','normal 12px Arial'","fontColor=#ccd0d1,#a3a377","fontDecoration=none,none"],
];
Q: For some strange reason the border that outlines the java script tab area is missing.
A: You cannot set this border using Deluxe Tabs parameters.
You should set it in the DIVs style.
<div id="ExpenseInformation" style="visibility: visible; width: '800px'; border: 1 solid;" class="tabPage">
Or in the "tabPage" style.
Q: I recently downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up menu for my website. The menu looks amazing, and I am convinced from the trial that this is a product that I could definitely use.
However, I'm having so much trouble putting my horizontal drop down menu into my Dreamweaver html. I've followed the instructions given, but my menu still does not appear. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to figuring this out, because if it's an easy program to use, I will for sure be buying the full version!!
A: Check that you've copied "Homedir/" folder with all menus files and data.js file into the same folder withHome page.html file.
Notice also that in the Design mode your drop down menu may displayincorrectly. It is normal. You should view your page in browser preview.
