Q: In IE7 I see the deluxe-menu.com link on the top and no javascript navigation menu on my page.
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in other
case there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all your
links (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a&tg;
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I would like the button in the sub navigation bar to stay white when you navigate to a particular page..
A: 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.
Q: How do I change the background color for the floating drop down menu
A: To change menu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2";
var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
You can also use Individual Item Styles to change the color of the specific items:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2"],
];
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"],
];
Q: I am evaluating your Deluxe Tuner / Tab program and was wondering how to add content below the tabs, like you have on your site.
You have the tabs, then a content area below each tab. How is this done with your product.
A: You should use ID attribute of object to show in the second parameterof bmenuItems. You set it in the "Item Parameters" window ("Link"parameter).
You should also set:
var tabMode = 0;
So, you'll have, for example, the following bmenuItems:
["tab text","div1", ...],
["tab text","div2", ...], Here "div1" and "div2" is IDs of objects within your html page, for example:
<div id="div1">text 1</div>
<div id="div2">text 2</div>
You can also see examples, which you can find in the trial package.
