Q: Thank you for the information and especially for your good explaination of the ways DHTML and Java work with menus. I want to get a menu because I was asked to base a new web site on one that used 'showpage.asp' calls to createtheir menus. Can you throw some light on how I would go about doing that?
A: Deluxe Menu and Java Menus work on aclient side only and they don't depend on the server which you'reusing and they don't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Please, try the trial version of the menu. You can use GUI to createyour menu. You can find it in the trial package.
Q: I got it to work ... but I can't make the javascript menu bars locate where I want it on the page.
A: Check that you use relative position for the menu
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
You can install the menu in DIV or Table, for example:
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/data.js"></script>
</div>
You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: Irene, thank you. I am working on seeing what you did and trying to get it to work on my computer. I keep getting ActiveX blocking errors when open page with the drop down menu source code on my computer. Is this something I can control from within the html code? Or is this something each user is going to have to change setting(s) in their IE Internet Options?
p.s., I had the code on the page twice cuz was just trying to get something... anything.... to work. I deleted the 2nd set which was further down on the page. I'm trying to get the menus to appear in the grey band just below the blue heading section but prior to the white text description section. And, once I get the menus to work, the navigation bar on left will be deleted. Thank you so much for your patience and help!
A: You can get the following message
"To help protect your security in IE ..."
on your local machine only. You won't have such message when you openyour website via Internet.
If you don't want to see this message you should do the followingthings:
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
Close Internet Explorer and open it once again.
There will be no such message any more.
Q: Greetings..... I am new to java script and would like to have a drop down menu that I can use with frames....
I downloaded your program and have created a small menu to try to become familiar with the program and see if I can accomplish getting a menu to display on a new page...... I am currently using Page Mill.
When I created the menus, I saved them as TstBuy and it was saved in the Deluxe-menu folder.
Having read a number of your information displays plus lacking the knowledge of what files and where to place them, I would appreciate any information you can offer as to what files to place in the main Page Mill folder if that is where they go??
As for the data I created (TstBuy), I thought that I would be able to copy and paste that file into the Page Mill page within a text box, but the paste feature was not available...
Thanks for any assistance you can offer..
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Page Mill/Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
You can try to export your menu into html page using Deluxe Tunerapplication and then copy the code from the generated html page into your html page.You should click in Deluxe Tuner "File/Export/To HTML". You'll getsuch files:
deluxe-menu.files/
image_files.gif
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
data-deluxe-menu.js
deluxe-menu.html
There is no need to use all files from the "deluxe-menu.files/"folder.
The description of files you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/description-of-files-info.html
You can delete all files which are not necessary for you.
To install the menu into your html page:
1. open the page in Page Mill/Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page (deluxe-menu.html)
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder, all image files anddata-deluxe-menu.js in the same folder with your html page.
For example, you'll have such structure:
deluxe-menu.files/
image_files.gif
dmenu.js
dmenu_add.js
data-deluxe-menu.js
your_html_page_from_Page_Mill.html
That's all.
