Q: I am a registered user, and I really like your menu system.
With my old menu system the user could right click on a menu item and the browser would display an option to open the page in a "New Tab".
Is there any way in the javascript menu html to allow the user to choose to open a link in a new tab?.
My users are restricted to using IE.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
Try that.
Q: I have one problem you may be able to help with:
If I set
var tsaveState = 1;
The following errors are generated:
_tls is not defined
tob has no properties
and the menu doesn't display.
If you could help with this I would be grateful.
A: You should use dtree_ss.js file.
You should install your menu so:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree_ss.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/tree-data.js"></script>
Q: I'd like to buy a template for creating a basic vertical javascript popout menu that is image based. Can you tell me which of your products I should consider buying? I'm familiar with html, but not other programming languages.
A: If you want to create javascript popout menu you should buy Deluxe Menu,
http://deluxe-menu.com
See the example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/image-based-menu-sample.html
You can also use your own images for the menu items.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
Please, try the trial version at first. It has full functionality.
Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
