Q: I'm trying created an independent menu from my html pages.
I have several pages stored in directories and subdirectories,
I would like to call theses pages from a single dhtml menu script.
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
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I just purchased deluxe menu and can't seem to figure out how to get a custom onMouseOver and onMouseOut event to work on a javascript drop down menu item.
Could you please detail how to do this?
A: Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick/onContextMenu event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within javascript drop down menu items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onContextMenu='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Q: Is it possible to make the menuitems rightclickable in the latest version of javascript dhtml menu. I want to rightclick on the dropdown item and choose open in new window.
A: No, there is no such a feature in Deluxe Menu v3.2.7.
You can write your item in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com'>test test test</a>",""],
But you should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}
Q: What can I tell people who aren't seeing their drop-down menu? For example, I have a client who can't see his on his machine, while I can on see the menu on one of my machines but not the other.
Please advise what makes the difference and how to correct the problem.
A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
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="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
