Q: I have not been able to get the dhtml context menu - or any other Javascript - to appear. I use FrontPage2000. Any ideas?
A: See how you should install Deluxe Menu on your pages.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the dhtml context menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any dhtml context menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml context menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>

<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.

Code=0
URL= (whatever page that I am on).
Please let me know what the issue is asap as my client is anxiousto go live with this and needs to be resolved!!!!!
A: You should check your dmWorkPath parameter. You should write itcorrectly.
You should also check that you copy all dmenu_xx.js files in the samefolder with dmenu.js file.
Please, set also the following parameter:
var itemBorderWidth="0";
This parameter cannot be empty.
Q: Is it possible to add checkboxes to menu items and retrieve the checked items? I need to create a multiple item select menu. So the javascript menu slide would need to remain open and allow a user to select multiple items and would either submit onmouseout or maybe a "submit these selections" javascript menu slide item.
A: You can try to use Deluxe Tree in that case:
http://deluxe-tree.com
You can paste any html code inside item text, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menu1.js
["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3 </select>", "", "", "", "", "","", "0"],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go'style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
["|<INPUT TYPE=checkbox CHECKED ID=chk1 onclick='choosebox1()'>Uncheck this check box for some free advice","","","",],
["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],
You should also add your own code, so your checkbox will workcorrectly.
Q: Is it possible to open a specific tab in javascript menu samples using javascript? For example something like tabObject.open(tab1);
A: You can try to use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
