Q: I am investigating why a few things have not been working for sometime on our site.
This is the error I get in the console "The requested URL /js/menudir/dtree_ss.js was not found on this server."
I update the files awhile back and removed the dtress_ss.js as I was instructed, why is it that it that the script is still trying to reference this file?
What do I have to do to remove this error from java script tree menu?
When I updated the files a few months back the new files seem to fix a problem we were having with Chrome, but broke the drop down menu in Explorer. I have yet to resolve this. The drop down menu appears to work fine in all other browsers.
The nav menu not working in IE7 (not sure about IE6 or IE8) is a bigger issue than the error in the console, but thought maybe they were related. From our analytics, the strong majority of our customers are using IE7.
A: 1) dtree_ss.js
The current version of Deluxe Tree doesn't have dtree_ss.js at all. You should deletethe following code from your page:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="/js/menudir/dtree_ss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
In the body tag you should write:
<td >
<script src="/js/menudir/data-tree.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
In the HEAD tag you should write:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">java script tree menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="/js/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/menudir/dtree.js"></script>

2) Error in IE7.
You're using new engine files and old data files for the menus now.
I'm sending you the example.
Use engine files for Deluxe Menu and Deluxe Tree and data files (data.js and data-tree.js)from it.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>

http://www.deluxepopupwindow.com/parameters.htmlQ: I'm currently experimenting with your script which I far more performant than any of the other I have tried so far, so we will probably go with yours and get a distributer license.
I do have a problem though...
I have two menus on my site.
Unfortunately, as they are being used, if you go over the first item in the left menu, it will show its submenu at the top; if you go over the first item of the top menu, it will also show the contents of the second menu...
How can we change this?
A: Installation of your menu is not correct.
See more info about installation here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
There is no
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
parameter on your page.
Notice also that you should call dmenu.js file only once and then callyour data files.
Now you have two calls of dmenu.js file.
Q: When I open my site in Internet Explorer 6.0 The main menu showsup nicely but the drop-down sub-menus are separated. The menu work very nicely in a Firefox browser but not in IE.
A: There are some problems also with your css.
The problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:relative"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:relative;"
to the
<DIV id="right">
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=right style="POSITION: relative;">
Check that.
