Recent Questions

Q: I have been mostly creating my menus by starting with a template file that has the features I need, and then modifying that file by hand (as opposed to using the Tuner program). In this case I am using data-vista-01.js.

When I load my html file that has references to the necessary resources (e.g. .js, gif, etc) in a directory that has the Images folder and Menu folder copied directly from the installed Deluxe Menu program directories, I get what I want.

This is perfect. But I think to myself, surely I don't need all the .js files from the Menu directory, nor do I need all the .gif files from the Images directory, so I started deleting those files one at a time, until I got to the point where Images contained only the Vista1 folder + the empty.gif file, and the Menu folder contained only dmenu.js. My menu now not working.

I'm guessing that some graphic files need to draw the top-level menu bar are missing. But which ones?
So my question is, what files do I really need? Is this something the documentation describes, and if so where?

I hope I don't have to include the full contents of the Menu and Images folder, as they are quite large.


A: Unfortunately, you should add all need images manually.
We'll try to correct it soon.
You can open your data.js file and see what images you're using in themenu and copy tese images into your folder.

You should also change the following parameter:

  var pathPrefix_img="";

There is no need to use all engine files for the menu.
Description of files you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/description-of-files-info.html


Q: I have a client that wants a menu bar with all the buttons the same length.
What code might I need to do that

A: You should use individual item styles (you can create it in Deluxe Tuner application). For example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=110px"], // 0 - number of the style

  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
 ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],

.........


Q: I do have issues. There are not the problems when you are on the home page (you can click on one of the dropdown submenus and go there.
However, when you try to go to another page from there to another page on a nother drop down, nothing happens except javascript erros. The dropdowns physical work, in that they drop down, but the links don't go anywhere. Does that make sense.


A: See, the problem was in your dmWorkPath parameter

On all pages placed in the subfolder you should write it in thefollowing way:

<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "../ifnav.files/";</script>

Please, correct it.

You should also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif

Please, use pathPrefix_link parameter.


Q: I'm trying deluxe-menu, but when I'm making my own menu, I often get error messages.
It will not work. I get these messages when I use individual styles.It is a very nice program, but I think with a few bugs.


A: You have errors in your data file.
 ["|De Groese Til","", , , , , , "0", , ],
 ["|De Supermarkt","", , , , , , "0", , ],
In this items you assigned menu styles, but there is no menu style in your parameters. You have only item style.
You should write them so:
 ["|De Groese Til","", , , , , "0", , , ],  ["|De Supermarkt","", , , , , "0", , , ],
