Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.
It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.
The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.
For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.
I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.
A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:
menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif
You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.
This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).
IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.
So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.Q: http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-5.html I like the transitional fade of onclick tab data between tabs of this menu, but I don't see anything in Transitional Effect variables to manipulate this.
A: You can set transitional effects in the "Transitional Effects"section in Deluxe Tuner.
//--- Transitional Effects
var btransition=24;
var btransOptions="";
var btransDuration=300;
Notice that Transitional Effects are supported by IE5.5+ only.Q: Will the java menu api changing the node image on the fly in real time?
A: Yes, API functions will change the node image on the fly.
Q: I have heard from some page visitors, that they couldn’t see the menu. Could this be a problem with deactivated Java script or could you tell me some possibilities what it could be.
A: Your visitors should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages they load.
When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
