Q: The dhtml css drop down menu hides under the flash videos an the flash header in firefox, it works alright in IE and I hae been on your FAQs an followed the transparent code to add to the flash to make the menu appear and adding the code to the data file but it still doesnt work. Could you look at the source code of the site and show me an example of how it would work and what edits I need to make as it’s very frustrating that I cant launch the site without this.
A: See how you should install the menu with flash for Firefox here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html
You should set "opaque" parameter for your flash, set the followingparameter
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
and add
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
in the beginning of your dhtml css drop down menu data file.
Q: I use your deluxe menu for my personal website and want to use it for a client site that we are putting together at work. However, there is one challenge. Some of the sites we build for our clients are internal only and do not have a proper domain name. In the case of my current client, the site answer to a servername call from within the network. Eg. http://WebServer1/ . They will NOT have a proper domain name (eg www.mysite.com). So, my question is, how can we purchase a license and have this work? Does your licensing need to be tied to a domain name to work? Also, the client has not yet confirmed the server name. How will this work?
A: You need to register the hostname of the website (as appears in the URL, for examplehttp://yourintranet/ , http://WebServer1/).
In you case you should register "WebServer1".
< Does your licensing need to be tied to a domain name to work?
Single and Multiple Website licenses are bound to a domain name.
Developer License - this version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to a domain name,so it can be used with an application that doesn't have a fixed domain name.
For your new client you can buy Single Website License. You can alsoupgrade to Multiple Website license for the price difference and generate your own keys for theclients or you can upgrade to Developer License.
Q: Hello. I am trying to test out your mouse over drop down menu and I am having trouble using the separators. Are there certain things that need to be in placed for the separators to work?
Nothing in the js code is showing me that they even exist.
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="";
Q: When on mouseover of a Deluxe Menu icon, naturally a tooltip will come up if you have inserted text there. I seem to have no control over the length of time the tooltip stays active nor the colour or size of the font in that through script drop down menu. Am I missing something? I would like to be able to have the tooltip stay for about 30 seconds and also change the font size and colour of text in the tooltip only.
A: No this is a standard hint, there is no way to increase the time it stayson the screen or change its color.
