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.


Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.

#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?


A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
  var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
      ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

  var itemStyles = [
     ["itemWidth=120px"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
     ["smWidth=120px"],
];

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
      ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
      ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;


Q: I should mean the font style that I failed to update after I have selected and assign font as shown in the pic above.

Step 1. using the sample data file
Step 2. select the font section of the Parameter Step3. click the font style and a window box will show up all the installed fonts
Step4. the default font is Tahoma, so I change it Times Roman
Step5. select Times Roman and click the Assign Font button There is no response with or without option Auto

The style font box did not update nor the preview


A: You should click OK button, not "Assign Font" button when you choosethe font. It is possible that you have to click "Update" button on the"Preview" window.


Q: I am having trouble changing a template of dhtml drop down menu code. I am using the
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/image-based-1-template-sample.html,
and I want to add more items to the top menu, however when I add an item, it doesn't follow the format of the existing items.


A: See, we use Individual Item Styles for the top items in this template.
For, example select the "CONTACTS" item on the main window.

In the "Item Parameters" window you can see Individual Styles assignedfor this item:

Item Style - Style1
Icons / Normal - images/spacer.gif

When you add the new item you should assign Individual Styles for itand add icon in the same way.

That is all.
