Q: Drop down menus I have created with your product DHTML Tuner don't look too good in FireFox... is there something I can do different or do you have a newer/better solution that would work for both IE and FireFox?
A: And what exact problems do you have in Firefox? Actually Deluxe Menu works fine inFirefox. But notice that filters and transitional effect are supported by IE5.5.5+ only.
http://deluxe-menu.com/filters-and-effects-sample.htmlQ: We have two frames in a frameset, one for the menu and one for the content where the javascript menu frame expands normally without any problem. Our content frame's source is determined dynamically. The problem occurs when the content frame contains a page with another frameset in it. Unfortunately we can not avoid this for now. And when this happens our menu stops expanding.
A: Unfortunately it is really possible that you'll have problems in thatcase because the index of the content frame will be changed.
For example now you have:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frame> //content index=1
</frameset>
Your init function will be:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
But if you'll have frameset instead of content frame:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frameset>
<frame> // index=1
<frame> //content index=2
</frameset>
</frameset>
You should write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);
You should change your javascript menu frame init function in that case.
Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.
1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.
I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.
A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.
You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.
> 2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item?
Yes, please see

Q: I am just in the process of evaluating your deluxe menus product for possible purchase.
I have installed the product and i am using the Deluxe Tuner product to create my menus based on the Vista 3-08 template.
I save the project and it adds the .js files in the correct location ( all under Menu folder in my project), but none of the images for the top level menu are copied (btn_red.gif or btn_red2.gif).
So when i run my website, i see the drop down menus but no header menu images (see attached image).
What image files need copying to which location in my websites main folder?
A: When you save your menu in Deluxe Tuner (use "Save as..." or "Exportto HTML" functions) you'll get a folder with all engine files(dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js ...) and all images.
So, for Vista Style 3-08 template you'll have the following images:
arr_white.gif
arrv_white.gif
blank.gif
btn_red.gif
btn_red2.gif
You should copy folder with all these files on your server.
