Q: I fixed that problem, but if you look at the website, I have the first 2 links in the javascript sliding menu set to show up in the mainframe but nothing happens. When I open deluxe menu on my computer, it also shows that I have the third link set up to show in the mainframe too but when I upload it to the website, it acts like it's not pointing to any file/url
A: Now you have:
["Home","main.html", "", "", "", "#mainframe", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["County Departments","dept.html", "", "", "", "#mainframe", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Board Members","", "", "", "", "mainfrm", "", "", "", "", "", ],
It is not correct to set target as "#mainframe". You should write"mainframe":
["Home","main.html", "", "", "", "mainframe", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["County Departments","dept.html", "", "", "", "mainframe", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Board Members","", "", "", "", "mainframe", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Is it possible to have menu items act like regular hyperlinks?
For instance in Firefox I like to "middle click" hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, or in IE right click and open in new window.
However with Deluxe-Menu this does not seem to work.
A: If you want to open your links in the new window you should set the item target parameter to "_blank", for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , "_blank", , , , ],
...
You can include also any html code in the Item Text.
For example:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
Q: Navigation bar code should indicate with on which page I me just considers..
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
but you can highlight menu items in two ways:
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file,
for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"<>/script<
>script type="text/javascript"< var pressedItem=3;>/script<
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

Q: In DeluxeTuner when I choose an image and use my own path DeluxeTuner always sticks it's own path (data.files/) into the .js file.
Then I have to go into the data.js file and re-edit the path manually.
A: If you use Tuner, you should save data .js file before you'll selectimages. When you save .js file it means that you set a root directoryfor the project, so Tuner can make all selected images with relativepaths.
