Q: I recently downloaded Deluxe Menu to try before I buy. While it was easy to create a menu, when I followed the directions for pasting in the two lines of code where I wanted the menu to appear, it didn't work. Rather, it always positioned the menu at the very top of the page.
Is this intentionally the case because this is a trial version?
I very much like the program; however, I have to know it's going to work correctly before I buy.
A: Info about installation of the menu on your html page you can findhere:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
> Rather, it always positioned the menu at the very
> top of the page.
Please, check that you have
var absolutePos=0;
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) and we will check it.
Q: We are trying to evaluate your software for use on our redesigned website.
Dhtml scrolling menu look great in Firefox but when we open the same page in IE it is ugly.
A: The reason is in the following code:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" align=left border=0> </DIV>
Delete align=left from the <IMG> tag:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" border=0> </DIV>
Q: How change the color of the link in the dhtml vertical menu if the link is already visited.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
butyou 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, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<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.
