Q: My client wants their drop down navigation to lock into place when someone visits a page. Is there a way to do this?
Right now it disappears when you click the link.
A: I suppose that you're saying about submenus.
Try to set the pressed item using the following API function:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dynamic menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
parentOpen = true/false - open all submenus to show the selected item
See example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Try to click 'Highlight "Product Info/Installation/Description ofFiles" item'.
You can also try to use the following parameter:
var smHidePause = 1000;
A delay (in ms) between mouse is moved from submenu and its closing.
You can make submenus to stay visible till you click outside the menu or scroll your page.
To enable this feature you should set this parameter in the following way: var smHidePause = -1; Q: I have tested your Deluxe Menu Builder and found it easy to work with.
One problem I have is that java menu freeware doesn’t support Swedish letters. When I preview the menu in a browser instead of those specific Swedish letters there are squares.
Could you please inform what I can do? Are there some setting I can change to use Swedish letters?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soonest possible.
A: You're able to use any characters for Deluxe Menu in the same way asyou use them for standard html page.
Unfortunately, you can't use Swedish letters in Deluxe Tuner application.You should manually correct your data file with the menu parameters.
Q: I have just come across your page. I need to publish a mass of data on a site where javascript ist turned off. Is dynamic drop down menus able to work in an javascript free environment?
A: No, Deluxe Menu is Javascript menu.
When your security settings doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
Q: I have one more question before I purchase a license: is there a way to use images instead of text as the javascript menu object items?
A: Yes, you can create image-based menu.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
