Q: I was enthused to see you had cross-frame support for your menus. But, as I got into it, I discovered that your javascript transparent menu doesn't support frames within frames.
A: Actually Deluxe Menu works correctly with nested frames in most cases.Try to install Deluxe Menu in cross-frame mode. If you'll have someproblems you can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: Both arrow types are visible when my intranet first loads and when I select a top item that is a direct link to a page.
But, as soon as I select any item from a list of sub items that includes subitems with arrows,
the arrow images disappear from vertical menu until I refresh the site.
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 am using the dhtml-tabs code. I have 2 tabs that I use for a basic form and an advanced form. The advanced form is on the second tab. When I submit, I get results. When I click the back button, the selected drop menu bar tab is the first one, and not the second. Is there a way to configure the tabs to be persistent or sticky. Such that clicking on the back button will result on being on the second tab, which was the last tab before going to a new page?
A: You can try to use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(0,1)
To open your second tab.
Q: A couple days ago I purchased the multi-website license of Deluxe Menu/Tree/Tabs/Popup Window/Calendar for US$149.00
I am having a very hard time getting the popup window to do just a basic function.
All I want is to have a link that I click on the page and the dhtml menu windows pop up.
As it is, the page automatically opens the popup window on loading.
I'm not a Javascript programmer which is why I purchased your product as it seemed I could pick a couple basic values in the GUI and it would create the script and code for me.
It would be REALLY handy if you had a couple of examples of how to create the following:
- Open the popup window upon the page loading
- Open the popup window when the user clicks a link
- Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link
- Close the popup window when the user mouses out
The help section doesn't even provide a menu item for the popup window.
Finding support for it on your site is difficult and what I can find is better suited for someone with Javascript knowledge.
Is there any way you can provide me the code to do this?
Thanks very much for your time and assistance.
A: We have such example on our website:
> - Open the popup dhtml menu windows upon the page loading
To open the popup window upon the page loading you should set thefollowing parameter:
openAfter=0
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=0,,,,,')
You can find this parameter in Deluxe Tuner. See on-load.zip example.
> - Open the popup window when the user clicks a link
Create the popup window in Deluxe Tuner and save it as html. UseonClick event for a link.
See how you should write your link:
<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.
where (see on-click.js file)
'win' - is winID
'<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM:
10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN:center\'>
<B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font:
13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a
simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to
content page or ID of some element.</EM>' - content of your
popup window
'Safari Style' - window title
'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes' - parameters of the popup window'windows_safari' - window skin
You can find more info about deluxePopupWindow.open function here:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
Notice that you shouldn't set openAfter parameter in on-click.jsfile:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')
> - Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link
> - Close the popup window when the user mouses out
You should create such popup in the same way as in the previous point,but use onMouseOver/onMouseOut events.
<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.
<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOut="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content.
