Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".
How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.
Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.
Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.
If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.
A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.
Q: In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
What does that mean?
Also, my client is still seeing the "incorrect key" notice.
A: Regina, you can see "Incorrect Key" message if you use the wrong reg.
key or if you forgot to paste your reg. key into your data file.
I've checked your reg. key. It is correct.
So, you cannot see such message on your website.
Your client should clear browser cache.
> In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"> language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
>> I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
Both these lines mean the same.
Please, paste <noscript> tag
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com </a></noscript>
into the <head> tag on the pages with your menu.
Q: Just wanted to thank you for all of your help...I changed all of the paths accordingly and the menus look great.
Out of curiousity, how do I use the javascript calendar function? It does not appear to be an option in the Deluxe Tuner GUI.
A: We haven't added Calendar in Deluxe Tuner.
You can find it in the installed package:
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\calendar\
Q: I want to use this menu with ASP. Can the link items NOT open a new window?
For ASP the current window needs to be used with whatever value is in the link parameter.
A: JavaSript menu uses window.open or href-method depending on the target parameter.
If you set "" or "_self" target the menu uses href-method and if youset "_blank" or frame name the menu uses window.open and opens your link in a new window.
You should use the following parameter
var titemTarget = "_self";
or
var titemTarget = "";
Please, see also individual items targets, for example:
{|The Team, http://www.domain.co.uk/receptionist.htm, _blank,}
Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".
