Q: I bought on September 28th the complete pack Deluxe after having tried it for an application which is not a site but which contains HTML pages and drop-down menus which were made with deluxe tree.
I deleted the trial version and installed the definitive version.
I placed the key the var key = "XXXXXXXXX; in each of my menus (three in everything) and I replaced dtree.js, dtree_add.js and dtree_dyn.js by those of the new version in each directory
Now when I relaunching I have an incorrect key which appears in the top of the menus...
Why?
Is these key has a relationship with the name of the site indicated during the order? By reading again the information I indicated the name of my site but it is not for this site that I wished the menu drop down, only for this application which has no precise name...
A: See, you should register the menu for a domain name or for IP address.
In other words, you should register the menu for the domain name thatyou print in a browser's search string, for example:
http://intranet/
http://klinikum-nuernberg/
http://192.168.0.1
http://localhost
But you menu won't work on a local machine, for example
j:\Stationshandbuch\start.html
with Single or Multiple licenses.
If you want to use the menu with an application that doesn't have afixed domain name you should buy Developer License.
With the Developer license you can use the menu on an unlimited number of Internet or Intranet sites and on the local machines.This version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to a domain name,so it can be used with an application that doesn't have a fixed domain name.
Q: I was enthused to see you had cross-frame support for your menus. But, as I got into it, I discovered that your javascript transparent menu doesn't support frames within frames.
A: Actually Deluxe Menu works correctly with nested frames in most cases.Try to install Deluxe Menu in cross-frame mode. If you'll have someproblems you can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: Can search engines follow the items of navigation menu?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on your page.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: Can I choose what menus will be expanded or collapsed in the tree menu javascript when the user comes to the webpage for the first time?
A: You can expand some items by default.
Add '+' sign before items text in that case:
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "deluxe-tree.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Home","testlink.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_s.gif", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", "data-new.js", ],
"Deluxe Tree: XP Style" item will be expanded by default in that case.
Use var texpanded=1; parameter to expand all menu items by default.
Use function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand) API function to expand the specific menu items dynamically:
