Q: I recently started using a new software program on my home page and am running into an issue with your drop down menu in css working with this software.
Basically no matter what I change the DmZorder to drop down menu in css always shows up behind the dhtml windows that I am trying to use.
After working with their support team they have stated that they believe the problem exists within the menus and I am attaching a screenshot they sent me.
Can you please assist me in resolving this issue?
A: Try to delete the following properties from #main style:
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; LEFT: 0px;
See the attached example.
Set also units in "px":
var itemPadding="2px";
It helps to display the drop down menu in css correctly in all browsers.
Q: I ordered Deluxe Popup Window Multiple Site License and I cannot get it to work at all. I need to have multiple choice javascript popup window to website links on a web page. How do I get it to work from a link on a page? Are there examples of how to use the javascript popup window settings. All the help files show is for menus, tree and tabs.
A: 1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you have:
<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
2) Or you can create only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.
More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")
Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use the same winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.
content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.
If you want to open several windows at once use different id's for each link.Q: I’ve tried every configuration available—absolute and relativepositioning and so on. I can’t get the menus to display correctly.
I have to offset the topDX by -150 and so on just to fudge it into a CLOSE position…it certainly doesn’t mirror the preview window
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">
Q: How do I disable the menu link for the page that is currently being displayed? I don’t the menu item removed, I just want the link to be inactive and possibly a different color.
A: To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
