Q: Having purchased Deluxe Menu and I am having a problem with the simple javascript menu I have created. The menu works fine when I view the html page generated by Deluxe Tuner but when I put it into my own html page the submenus are appearing above the simple javascript menu and not below as required. How do i stop this from happening please?
A: Try to adjust the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
or
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
Q: I am interested in your dhtml menu product, I did not see any examples using a target attribute for the url, i.e.
<a href=http://yoursite.com/ target-"_blank">
Also if this is supported if you could send me an example of how to configure this...
A: You should use the following parameter
var itemTarget = "_self";
Please, see also individual items targets, for example:
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".
Q: I created a test page with your product. I have a frame page consisting of a header and content.
The drop down menus are in the header and cross nicely into the content frame when they drop down. This part is working as planned! The first time I open the test page in my browser any link in any drop down menu will work the first time just fine.
Then, if I pick another link in any drop down menu, it appends the address of the first link to the address of the second link and the URL fails.
It is acting like it writes the url for the first link into some variable, then forgets to null it on select, and then appends the url for the second link to the variable. As I click links in different drop down menus it keeps doing this append feature until I have a very long worthless URL path. If I close the browser and start over then the first thing I click on will work properly, but that is all that will work.
I tried this test page on two different PCs, just in case there was a problem on my browsers. MS IE.6.0
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
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/";
