Q: How ever there is still one major issue that need to be solved before we open to site to the public and occurs when the form used by the 2020 Datashed application to search an item (page listing.asp) is used together with the Delux dropdown menu.

When the Delux dropdown menu display their data, it is possible to 'see' the information of the 2020 search form through it. The over all effect is some kind of transparency in the page that is not acceptable.

In the attached snapshot is an image of the web page that shows the effect that we want to avoid.

This effect only happens on the head area of the 2020 search form that I have marked with a red rectangle. The main body of the form, marked in blue, does not have this transparent effect.

I wonder if it is possible eliminate the transparency in javascript menu systems changing the adequate css file that is used in the red area, using the same css code that is applied in the blue area.

My solicitude for help is about this issue, could you advice about this matter and pinpoint the css file and instruction than can make this change, or there is another way to make the same result?

A: Try to set the following parameter:

  var transparency="100";


Q: Please identify the parameter I need to set to produce ... Tree menu items start out as normal text , then Bold text for tree menu items on the onmouseover event . After mouse out, text returns to normal.


A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You should addthe following code in your data file:

function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}

  var tmenuItems = [

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Please, notice also that you should add this function every time whenyou change your menu in Deluxe Tuner application, as Tuner deletesthis function.

Q: I'm a having an issue with my dhtml dropdown menus poping-up behind a flash object on a page. The key to this issue is that the menus work perfectly in our non-secure (HTTP) development environment, but do not work correctly on our secure (HTTPS) beta environment. The code on the 2 environments is exactly the same, and the beta environment does work when viewed in HTTP. Both the flash object and the Deluxe-Menu are called using relative paths, not absolute paths.

Please let me know what additional information you need from me. I appreciate any help you can provide.

A: Check that you're using latest version of engine files - v3.3.

You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.

See, how you should install flash on your pages.
<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"

Q: I see that you have the demo of the menu working over a frame so that it displays over the lower frame, vertical top to bottom.
However I have played around with your demo and can't seem to replicate the same feature.
Could you please tell me what I have to set to make the easy dropdown menu float over the lower framed window?

A: To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame() function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

For example, for the following structure:

<frameset id="frmSet" rows="185,*">
<frame id="frame1" src="cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm">
<frame id="frame2" name="testlink.htm" scrolling="no">
</frameset>

the dm_initFrame() function call at the end of data.js file will look like:

dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
