Q: How to include the search box in the navigation menubar?

A: Use the following javascript menu parameter to enable/disable the "search support" for the Deluxe menu:

  var dmSearch=2;

0-nosearch; 1-ordinary search (within one level of submenus only); 2-recursive (within the whole menu).

Set item's link to "search:", for example:

["","search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'", "", ],

Q: I need to know if separate coloring of main items is possible in slide drop down menu.

A: You can create Individual Item styles and assign it for the top items,for example:
  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE"],//style1
];

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
 ["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0

Q: Will all your dhtml menu samples work cross-frame?


A: See how should you create cross frame menu:

1. 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.

So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.

Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>

Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: Click on the option "telefoonlijst" and a submenu has to pop-down… whay is this done not OVER the other object (e.e. the 'frameDESKTOP')

Click index2.htm to see the code is working when the top-frame is 120 pix large!


A: Please, see how you should install the menu in cross-frame mode:

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only. It can't work within nested framesets.

Notice that you should add dmenu_cf.js file in the folder where your menu is created in.
