- UL/LI items structure - Search feature - add the search area in the menu and type symbols. - Deluxe Tuner - visual interface to create and modify dhtml menus easily and in no time. - Several menus on one page - Horizontal or vertical orientation - Inactive/Disabled items - AJAX menu loading - loads web menu data from the server "on-the-fly". - Sound support!
Submenus drop down over all the objects of the page (select, flash, object, embed, applet). If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object, the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.
Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!
Q: When I click on a tab in the css drop down menu tabs it is not activate. What is the setting to change this?
A:You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left> /* Select Tab */ <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem= </script> <SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> </TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:
<TD vAlign=top align=left> /* Select Tab */ <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> var bselectedItem=4; var bselectedSmItem=3; </script> <SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> </TD>>
Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.
A: How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1.     1.1 For Windows users       a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0       (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0       http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).       b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/Open…       c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
    1.2 For other OS users       a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.       b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
      var keystrokes = 0;       var dm_focus = 1;       var dm_actKey = 113;
      var dynamic = 0;       var smHideOnClick = 1;       var itemAlignTop = 'left';       var smSmartScroll = 1;
      var dmAJAX = 0;       var dmAJAXCount = 30;       var dmRTL = 0;       var dmObjectsCheck = 0;       var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";       var menuHeight = "";       var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
      c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are:       - dmenu.js       - dmenu4.js       - dmenu_add.js       - dmenu_dyn.js       - dmenu_key.js       - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)       - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: I got the menu to display across frames, but it displays differently in Firefox & Mozillavs. Internet Explorer. Is that to be expected?
In The Mozilla-based browsers, the submenu butts right upunder the main menu – which is how I want it. In IE, it is about 10 pixels below.
Also, I can’t get the submenus to drop down directly under the main menus – they are offset by about 100 pixels to the right.
A:The problem is in a structure of your frameset. Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.
You should create the following frameset structure:
--|------------    | menu --|------------    |    | submenus    |
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.
Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page butthe state of the tab selected reverts back to the default tab. How do I keep the tab selected for the html vertical tabs when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A: You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
So, you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call data.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from data.js file to yourcode.
