Q: I'm looking at evaluating your Deluxe menu software for inclusion in our current web based software solution and am particularly taken with the 'Ajax style' loading.
Could you please answer a couple of questions with respect to that.
At what point does it load those file ¦ initially when menu is drawn (so multiple small hits to app server) or when the user selects the menu? Does the link href *have* to be a .js file ¦ or can it be any valid file type that returns the correct data? I have to generate the menu options dynamically from a DB and therefore really need to include a JSP style file.
Our current menu system (made up of 4 levels deep contains over 300 links, which is why I want to minimise server hit as much as possible!
A: It loads when the user move his mouse above the menu items.
You can use any extension for these files. But the file structureshould be the same as in our example.
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: How can I move the dropdown navigation bar to the far right side?
A: You should install the menu into the TABLE with right alignment.
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right" style=" padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background-color: #14349B;">
<script type="text/javascript" src="home_files/data-vista-BASEPOINT3.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Q: How about getting the entire side navigation bar to sit in the centre rather than left align?
A: You can set your menu in the <div> tag and use the alignment you need:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
</div>
