Q: I am having a problem trying to get my scrolling menu javascript to work correctly with frames.
My web page is frame based. There are THREE (3) Rows. The top roe is "header" and the bottom row is "footer". The center row is divided into TWO (2) columns. The left is "contents" and the right is "main". This is a very standard configuration.
I have created a menu called "member-menu" and added it to the "content" html file. I have edited the "member-menu.js" file to add the "dm_initFrame("FrmSet",0,1,0); at the end of the file. Using the instruction provided when the scrolling menu javascript was saved. I then uploaded all of the required file to my server. At this point everything is fine, I go to a password protected page in the "\members" folder and this seems to work also. When I try to go to a "submenu" it wants to expand to the right in the "content" FRAME. I need it to expand into the "main" FRAME on the right.
I know that I am doing something wrong. I have read the instructions a dozen times and can't find the problem.
A: You should write the ID of your frames correctly, for example now youhave:
header - 0
contents - 1 (frame with the menu)
main - 2 (frame with submenus)
bootom - 3
In that case you should write init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("FrmSet",1,2,1);
where - dm_initFrame("FrmSet",frame with the menu,frame with submenus,1);
Try that.

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.htmlQ: The home page of our website uses java script dhtml. The error comes up when attempting to select a tab for the first time; subsequent selections are fine. The error is something about an object being null. Probably just need to modify a function to test for null, but can't read the .js file because its obfuscated.
A: You should set the following java script dhtml parameter.
var bselectedSmItem=0;
There are no subitems in your menu.
Q: Is there a way to fix it so that in the dhtml tree menu when you have link set it doesn't expand the menu and then load the page. It should only load the expand the menu if I click the + image if I have a link...
Example...
["|ACRYLIC BRUSHES", "fright_itemlist.asp?level1=BRUSHES ~ KNIVES&level2=ACRYLIC BRUSHES","","","","", "_self","","","tmlevel3/m251.js",]
A: But Deluxe Tree works in this way now.
If your item has link and subitems at the same time you should clickon the item to open item's link and click on the "+" sign to expandthe item.
Make sure that you've set the following parameter:
var texpandItemClick=0;
Q: I have seen a certain menu effect on a few websites and have so far been unable to reproduce it in simply HTML/CSS. Today I saw the effect on a website, looked at the source code and it appears they are using some of your code.
I have a fairly typical screen layout with a menu bar on the left hand 10% of the screen and the main screen content on the right 90%. Some of my screens get very long, so that when you scroll all the way down to the bottom, the menu is left way up off screen. I would like the menu block to move down so that it is always a certain number of pixels below the top of the viewed screen, not the absolute top of the page. Is this something your software does? If so, which one of your products?
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
You should use floatable menu, so you can always see the menu.
But to use the floatable feature
var floatable=1;
you should use the absolute position for the menu
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="10";
Please, try the trial version of the menu.
