Q: We are using Deluxe Menu for our website. When developing a new menu with longer text we are facing an issue.
JS Code for a menu item (Ajax technology):
[' Introduction &<br>Search Terms',
'/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,''
,'/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],
Code as above is used to create a the following menu:
We are using <br> as the menu text is too long but the problem we are facing is the space between two line of web menu text.
Can you please let me know how we can reduce the space?
A: You can write your text in the following way:
["<div style='line-height: 10px'> Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>",
"/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/","","","","" ,"" ,""
,"/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js",],
or
['<div style="line-height: 10px"> Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>', '/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'','/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],Q: Can I create menus with cross-frame capability using your drop down menu generator?
With the menu beingin one frame and the submenus opening to the other frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I want to use java sliding menu Deluxe as a data-entry system. I can see how to use the dynamic facilities to allow the user to create and populate nodes but at the end of the client's work I would like them to hit 'submit' on a form and pass all data they have created to the server for processing. How do I pass the data back to the server in the java sliding menu?
A: You are able to paste any html code within java sliding menu items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
You should write your own code within menuItem.
Q: In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
What does that mean?
Also, my client is still seeing the "incorrect key" notice.
A: Regina, you can see "Incorrect Key" message if you use the wrong reg.
key or if you forgot to paste your reg. key into your data file.
I've checked your reg. key. It is correct.
So, you cannot see such message on your website.
Your client should clear browser cache.
> In my script, I did not have [<script type="text/javascript"> language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
>> I did have something like [<script type="text/javascript" src="dmenu.js"></script>].
Both these lines mean the same.
