You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.

You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.

<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="deluxe-tree.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/dtree.js"></script>

<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data-deluxe-tree.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dtree.js
dtree_add.js
dtree_dyn.js
dtree_ajax.js
into "deluxe-tree.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.
Q: Everything will go fine during setup, until I get further into it, I will get an error. It says error on a line of text that isnt even there. The line of text does not exists. Please let me know how I can correct this issue and get the program running right.
A: See, it is not correct to write " symbols within menuItems:
["||A23 (3" DIAM)","http://www.interlight.biz/products.int?Category=INCANDESCENT&Subcat=A+SHAPE&Dept=A23+%283%22+DIAM%29",
Try to write your last items in the following way:
["||A15 (2" DIAM)","http://www.interlight.biz/products.int?Category=INCANDESCENT&Subcat=A+SHAPE&Dept=A15+%282%22+DIAM%29", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||A19 (2.5" DIAM)","http://www.interlight.biz/products.int?Category=INCANDESCENT&Subcat=A+SHAPE&Dept=A19+%282%2E5%22+DIAMETER%29", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||A21 (2.6" DIAM)","http://www.interlight.biz/products.int?Category=INCANDESCENT&Subcat=A+SHAPE&Dept=A21+%282%2E6%22+DIAM%29", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||A23 (3" DIAM)","http://www.interlight.biz/products.int?Category=INCANDESCENT&Subcat=A+SHAPE&Dept=A23+%283%22+DIAM%29", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Can I use my own images as the tabs in a div tab menu?
A: The Drop down menu items have the following structure:
var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
Where iconNormal, iconOver - Icons of an item: icon in normal state, icon in mouseover state.
So you can set your menu items in a such way:
var menuItems = [
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
["","", "icon2.gif", "icon2o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon3.gif", "icon3o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon4.gif", "icon4o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon5.gif", "icon5o.gif"],
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
];
Q: How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?
I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 ( www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start designing with your product.
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
