Q: I'd really appreciate any info on how I can create dhtml menu on Mac..
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now.
We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
HTML version of Deluxe Tuner (MAC version) can be downloaded
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. I'm sending you package with all
templates. Just open data file in Deluxe Tuner.
Add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
(you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the
trial package"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")
http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems:

http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder.
You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.Try that.Q: Now I experiences a problem with the Danish letters in dhtml menue.
I have changed the letters in the scriptfile - but this does not work.
Have we a problem with Danish letters?
A: Please, check that you've set "Tools/Use utf8 encode".
Notice that you should have UTF8 charset on your page too:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="UTF-8">
You can also use another charset on your html page and open your data file in text editor,
enter thissymbols and save data file in the way you save your html page.
Notice that you should turn off "Tools/Use utf8 encode" setting in
order to open your data file correctly in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: I never succeed to see the images in the dhtml menu examples using my default folder hierarchy (ie : a folder for the html files and a folder for the js files). The only way for me was to create the data.files folder in the html folder. It works but it does not follow my production standard. Did I forget something ?
A: You should set relative paths according to your html page.
For example, you have such file structure:
web-content/
data/
dmenu.js
data.js
Artwork/
image.gif
...
pages/
1.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
2.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
...
So in Deluxe Tuner you should open image.gif file.
You will have, for example:
d:\webpages\site\web-content\Artwork\image.gif
Then you should delete "d:\webpages\site1\web-content\" and add ../prefix. The path will be:
../Artwork/image.gif
You can also set path_prefix
var pathPrefix_img = "../Artwork/";
Or you can try to use absolute paths, for example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
Q: When the html tab menu is initialized can you not have any selected tabs?
I do not want to select any tabs when the menu is initialized for some cases.
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible. Some top item should behighlighted.
But you can try to add separator in the beginning of the menu and set:
var bselectedItem=0;
var bseparatorWidth="0px";
var bmenuItems = [
["-",],
[" Deluxe Menu","content1", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Deluxe Tree","content2", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Deluxe Tabs","content3", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Contact us","content4", "img/icon_mail.gif", "img/icon_mail.gif", "img/icon_mail.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
];
