Q: The browser I am using is Internet Explorer 7.0 at Windows Vista (with "Security" set at "Medium"). I get the message "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer" and then I have to click this message/bar in order to "Allow blocked content". After I do that the javascript menu script appears as it should, but of course I don't want visitors to go through that. FYI, I do not have the same problem with the dynamic menus on your website or in other websites, which appear normally right from the start.
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: I'm using the deluxe-tree; my dynamic tree menu is very long; and the page has a vertical scroll bar as a result. My question is, does the dynamic tree menu support anchors? So let's say I do mypage.aspx#mynode, and mynode is a tree-node, and happens to be on the bottom of the page, can we make it so that the user goes to that node, without him using the vertical scroll bar?
A: No, it is not possible.
But you can collapse your tree menu by default:
var texpanded=0;
and use API functions to expand the specific items based on the page you are now:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>
See more info about API functions here:

Q: I am trying to use the following horizontal scrolling tabs:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.
All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Any style tab menu that I use produces the same results.
A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
You should write:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
Try that.
Q: I purchased the right to use deluxe-menu because I liked how it worked versus my old menu which is your competitor (milonic menu) in the javascript driven menu market.
However, after using your menu for a few months, I have discovered a problem. When I bought the menu, the claim was made it worked with all doctypes. I use "strict" on my web site and want my pages to validate as strict with W3C or WDG validators.
I get a notice of incorrect copyright when I remove the link to yoursite in the heading of the document. Since this line does not validate,I feel that you should provide an adequate alternative to having a unsubstantiated line in your html code. I have looked over the FAQ on your site and have found no remedy. You have a wonderful product and I wish to continue to use your menu. But this one little bugaboo surely can be fixed on your end by altering the requirement to keep the incorrect copyright from appearing even though it shouldn't appear in my opinion.
For instance, I can alter the line and make the link invisible.
Example: <noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com"></a></noscript>
By making the link invisible with no text, it will mean nobody would see the blatant ad for your site. The incorrect copyright notice does not appear under those circumstances, however it still does not validate.
I just want to create web pages that validate! Please help me as a struggling web author to achieve my goal and still use your menu which I paid for! Thanks for any help you can give me.
I love my deluxe-menu! Please help to keep using it.
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
