Q: I am just in the process of evaluating your deluxe menus product for possible purchase.
I have installed the product and i am using the Deluxe Tuner product to create my menus based on the Vista 3-08 template.
I save the project and it adds the .js files in the correct location ( all under Menu folder in my project), but none of the images for the top level menu are copied (btn_red.gif or btn_red2.gif).
So when i run my website, i see the drop down menus but no header menu images (see attached image).
What image files need copying to which location in my websites main folder?
A: When you save your menu in Deluxe Tuner (use "Save as..." or "Exportto HTML" functions) you'll get a folder with all engine files(dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js ...) and all images.
So, for Vista Style 3-08 template you'll have the following images:
arr_white.gif
arrv_white.gif
blank.gif
btn_red.gif
btn_red2.gif
You should copy folder with all these files on your server.
Q: Is it possible to use more than one Menu in one Site, for example with
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath1 = "menue/produkt.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/produkt.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath2 = "menue/navigation.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/navigation.files/dmenu.js"></script>
unfortunately this syntax doesnґt work
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only onceon the one page.
You cannot write dmWorkPath1 and dmWorkPath2. Youir menu won't workcorrectly in that case.
You should write
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2007, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
and call several data files:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data3.js"></script>
Q: You've been helping me with some issues on the Deluxe Tree Menu system my company has purchased and most issues are resolved, so thank you! One big problem remains though and we can't seem to figure it out, so I hope you can help.
What we want is, when a user enters our site from the index (home) page then clicks on a link and the sub-page opens, for the dhtml menu tree to be open to the section the user is in and viewing. We also DO NOT want the browser to save the state of the menu, since that is inconsistent with where the user is in the site. Note: we do not use the Menu on the home page, is this a problem?
Per your tech support email, I've added the expand code, which works going from the home page to sub-pages. However, it interferes with navigating to other sub-pages once your in the site. The menu doesn't keep the section open, it closes back up. You mentioned the expand code has to be entered on every page....is that so in this instance and if so, that's a maintenance nightmare - does a better way exist for this type of menu?
Then we activated the "save state" option and the menu stays open on the sub-pages, but the expand option doesn't work.
It's like they cancel each other out and you can only have one or the other.
Can I get these two to work together? What do I need to do? Is it better to use the XP-style menu?
A: When user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page and the script re-create the dhtml menu tree.
If you want to open the needed section automatically on load you can use the following:
1. Save the state to cookies
2. Use frames
3. Put the special script on each page of site that will open appropriate section.
