Q: How about getting the entire side navigation bar to sit in the centre rather than left align?

A: You can set your menu in the <div> tag and use the alignment you need:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
</div>

Q: Obviously your menus are NOT cross browser usable, as you can e.g. Padding does not work in opera, while it works in IE.
When will there be an update on that bug?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try also to specify unitsin "px":
  var menuWidth="500px";
  var menuHeight="20px";
  var smWidth="116px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
  var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";



Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.

It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.

The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.

For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.

I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you for your answer.

A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:

menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif

You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.

This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).

IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)

You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.

So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.


Q: Can I add the value of the parameter to the link where I want my application to go when I active a submenu in the menu script?

A: Actually you can add php code inside menu links.

If you define your parameter in .js file you should write yourlinks in the following way, for example:

<?
....
$key = 123456;
....
?>
["Home","www.domain.com/home.php?key=<? echo $key ?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

If you define your key parameter in the php file you should move your
menuItems into your php page directly:

<?
....
$key = 123456;
....
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var tmenuItems = [
['Deluxe Menu','http://deluxe-menu.com','icon.gif',,,,,],
['Deluxe Tree','http://deluxe-tree.com','icon.gif',,'New!',,,],
['Deluxe Tabs','http://deluxe-tabs.com','icon.gif',,'New!',,,],
["Home","www.domain.com/home.php?key=<? echo $key ?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

dm_init();
</script>
