Q: I am setting up a menu with word wrapping "on". Is it possible to have the wording in the middle of the text go to a new line?
If so, how do I do that?
A: Unfortunately, you can't do it.
You can only set the following parameter
var noWrap=0;
and use <br> tags in the text, for example
["ffffffff<br>fffffffffffff<br>fffffffffff Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ],
Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the dhtml pull down menu links on a page. (I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and I don't want the links to work).
Is this possible?
I can run this function across my other <A> tags (which sets them all to the current page), but it doesn't reach into the deluxe menu.
for(i=0;i document.links[i].href = "<?php echo(getURL($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]));?>>";
document.links[i].target = "_self";
}
A: To disable your dhtml pull down menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.
A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.
You can generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I intend to purchase a copy of Deluxe menu where I will be using tree menu for a project. I have created the tree describing the menu and copied the data.Files folder, data.js file to the area where the HTML page is and pasted the relevant text into html file.
When opening the page, the tree menu in javascript is not displayed. Can you please help me resolve this problem. I have attached the data.files folder (in zipped form), the data.js file and the html page I am using
A: Now you have the following code on your html page:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dtree.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It is not correct you should install the menu in the following way:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dtree.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You can use "Export to HTML" function in Deluxe Tuner.
