Q: We'd tried the useIFrame = 1 as well and the issue is fixed but the IE6 shows a "non secure objects over a secure connection" message, it worries me because on one side the problem is solved but on the other hand it generates confusion.
As an alternative we're planning to use the Deluxe navigation tree in order to avoid these overlapping problems, but it doesn't show up in IE7 over W2K3 R2!!
We requiere your support to use either the Deluxe Tree or the Deluxe Menu,
I'll look forward your kind answer.
A: Deluxe navigation tree works fine in IE7.
Try to set width and height parameters:
var tmenuWidth="230px";
var tmenuHeight="auto";
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying drop down menus with the JavaScript API?
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: I was trying to work out how to set the target for a link in html tab menu
A: No,unfortunately it is not possible in Deluxe Tabs now.
But you can write your links in the following way:
["Item 1","javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank','height=600,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,
menubar=no,location=no');", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 2","javascript:window.open('http://www.deluxe-menu.com','_self');", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I know. I have two menus on the page and I am not using beforeItemImage orafterItemImage for the top menu in javascript (the one you referenced below), but I need it for the second menu. The parameters for that menu are in mainnav_data.js.
Even when I only call dmWorkPath and dmenu.js once, it does not work.
A: See, it is not correctly to use image-based items:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
and specify beforeItemImage/afterItemImage parameters. They won't work in that case.
You can create such buttons in the following ways:
1) Use image-based menu (images with text).
Create normal and mouse-over state images (with text) for each item:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/new.gif", "mainnav_data.files/new2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx.gif", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
2) Use combined background for the menu in javascript items (images without text).
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
You cannot use these two methods together!
