Q: I just don't understand the 'concept" of how It should be put into my html page.
I plan on having more than one menu on my page. and this would be an example of one of the drp down menus I want on it. I'm fairly new to making a webpage, but this menu is what I would like on my page.
sorry for being a little slow at this, I DO LOVE how it lays out and cant wait to get it to work on my webpage.
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Deluxe Tuner v2.4 supports Deluxe Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Deluxe Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Menu ) you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site (you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
If you want to install several menus on the one page you should writethe following code once
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
And then call your data files several times.
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data3.js"></script>
Try that.
Q: Could I create a function that displays thetab that the user clicked in the left tab menu.
These tabs are all within the same window, sothe page will always be the same.
Just need a function to make differenttabs appear.
A: Unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>Q: How do I make the links in the transparent drop down menu NOT open up in a new window?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var itemTarget="_self";
Q: I've been using your application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu source.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
