  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.

Q: Doesn't this mean that I have to add this search engine code to all of my sites pages?  If so this could be tedious when adding additional pages to a large site.Is this something I can adjust ...or make submenus were you can't see through them?


A: Unfortunately it is really so. You should paste search engine code onthe each page with the menu.

If you don't want to create your menu (and add search engine friendlycode) on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.


Q: I have tried to use the Deluxe tuner menu in one of the websites I am trying to create however, the menu gives an error. I have created the menu multiple times but everytime it comes up with the same error. I have attached the entire web page file with this mail. Can you please go through this and help me fix the errors.


A: Now you have  var itemBorderWidth="";  var menuBorderWidth="";

It is not correct. You should set values for these parameters.

  var menuBorderWidth="0";  var itemBorderWidth="0";


Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12
How can I upgrade to v.2.0?


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/OpenЕ
      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:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

   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 really like how this works and I think it will wind up working for us, but I have a question. On the xp style dynamic tree menu, is there a way when you click one of the 'headers' that will open up other choices for example on your http://www.deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html tree. When youclick either the deluxe tree:xp style or the samples gallery or the samples gallery2 section, can you make it so it opens a page in another frame? The way it is now you it wont open a page until you click on the 'samples block 1' or below.

A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But theoretically you can use links for the top items. You can write

["<a href='index.html' class='home' target="frame">Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="frame">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
 ["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
