Q: I recently downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up menu for my website. The menu looks amazing, and I am convinced from the trial that this is a product that I could definitely use.
However, I'm having so much trouble putting my horizontal drop down menu into my Dreamweaver html. I've followed the instructions given, but my menu still does not appear. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to figuring this out, because if it's an easy program to use, I will for sure be buying the full version!!
A: Check that you've copied "Homedir/" folder with all menus files and data.js file into the same folder withHome page.html file.
Notice also that in the Design mode your drop down menu may displayincorrectly. It is normal. You should view your page in browser preview.
Q: Our company has been using the trial version of Deluxe Menu and was satisfied enough with initial integration efforts to acquire the license version.
We are interested in making our main dhtml rollover menu items a constant width, but the data.js parameters ( var menuWidth="800px"; var menuHeight="30px"; var smWidth=""; var smHeight="";) don't seem to give us that capability. We dynamically remove main menu items based on user roles and when we do the main menu always re-sizes and the remaining main menu item widths no longer match our sub-menu widths. We're able to adjust for this by using the API but that seems to be a lot of unnecessary coding. If we could keep each main menu item a fixed width, our sub-menu widths would not have to change.
Do you have information on how to accomplish fixed main menu item widths, even better would be an example?
A: Actually you can specify the width and of all or individual dhtml rollover menu items or submenus usingIndividual Item/Submenu styles.
Q: Is the menu floatable?
I try the setting "float" but no change
A: You can't see floatable or movable effect in Deluxe Tuner preview.
But when your install your menu into the .html page it'll work fine.
Notice, when you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
Q: I have a client that wants a menu bar with all the buttons the same length.
What code might I need to do that
A: You should use individual item styles (you can create it in Deluxe Tuner application). For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=110px"], // 0 - number of the style
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
