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 have just downloaded your trial version and am trying to use delux tuner using the windows xpstyle template. I can only seem to get the top button showing as grey but can change colors of submenus in dhtml xml menu. Am I missing something? ?ow do I get the top button showing the same as submenu buttons.
A:To change submenu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2"; var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
and Individual Submenu Style:
var menuStyles = [ ["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"], ];
For the top items you should change Individual Item style:
var itemStyles = [ ["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"], ];
Q: The navigation menus shows up behind the YouTube videos instead of the front
A:You should add opaque parameter to object and embed tags. So set your video in thefollowing way:
<object width="445" height="364"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/tXdWj-teINc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed src="islam-supports-child-marriage-rape-and_files/tXdWj-teINchlenfs1rel0color10x2b405bcolor20x6b8ab6border1.swf" wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"> </object> Q: In addition, as you know commercial websites also have to comply with EU regulations regarding disabilities, and I further believe that the current menu cannot be read by screen readers for blind/partially sighted/disabled users. Could you please confirm if this is the case, or if the java pull down menu can in fact be read by screen readers?
A: Deluxe java pull down menu is 508 compliant, but we don't have the certificate at this moment.
