Q: I came across your program through a link on the Internet. The menu script displayed was DHTML Menu Demo #23 displayed on
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html - this is the only menu I am interested in as it has the capability of positioning the menu script relative to an existing table in the HTML coding of the page. I already have a vertical scrolling menu with several features visitors. We are moving our website to our own server and are doing some updating to make it more attractive when viewed at different resolutions. If you look at the source coding for the page (yes, it's almost exclusively in HTML - it usually views well on any browser) you will see that ALL the content is enclosed in a table which is centered on the page allowing it to be completely viewed at any resolution of 800 x 600 or greater. But the scripting I'm using ( /* Created by Randy Bennet...) uses the left margin of the browser window as left margin of the page. If it could be written so that the left margin of the existing (and centered in the browser window) table would be the point from which the left corner of the "object1" was measured, then the page would view nicely at any resolution. But I cannot find out how to do this from your "newer version".
A: You can create the same menu using Deluxe Menu:
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html
To install Deluxe Menu in the table cell with center alignment youshould use relative position for the menu:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
And install it on your page in the following way:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Q: I have built a new drop down css menu.
I have a named frame body but when I use the menu creater it works and changes the frame but when loaded to the site it says error on page.
what have I done wrong ?
Try the home which calls home_body.htm and about us which calls About Us.html in the body frame top the right of the menu.
A: You cannot use local paths on the Internet sites. They won't work.
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Back to main page","D:/Web Design/CCA/home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|History","D:/Web Design/CCA/About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
You should write, for example:
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Back to main page","home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|History","About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
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: Can you provide indication on how to apply the cross-frame mode from your html menu builder?
A: You should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner and save your data file.
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change your
dm_init(); function.
