Q: We are facing some problem, in our css drop menu. Please Advise -

When we used "Helvetica" font in deluxe menu, the css drop menu expand, if the above font not installed in user machine.

I would please request you to kindly assist me on the same as the client is getting impatient.

A: It is normal behaviour if there is no such font on the user machine.

You can try to write fonts in the following way:
"fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'"

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=top.files/,top.files/menuhoverbg.gif","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, , Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
["itemBackColor=#504B48,#7E7666","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#ffffff"],
];

Find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font will be Trebuchet MS.

You should choose the second font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.



Q: How can I set the top-level hover menu items to be transparent?

A: You should create Individual Item and Submenu styles with transparent itemBackColor and assign it for the top items:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontColor=#000000,#000000"],
];

  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0"],
];


Q: Am I under the correct assumption that if the inner menu item text expands past the ItemWidth or MenuWidth (being that the Width is set -- eg 150px), that the javascript menu div width will expand past it's boundaries instead of wrapping the text? (eg. A text like "Please Make this Wrap instead of expand the width boundary" seems to expand the container's width rather than wrap)

A: There are 2 ways to do that:

1. set

  var noWrap=0;

2. use <br> tags, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["line 1<br>line 2"],
];



Q: Hello, you write, that your menu is search engine friendly.

But viewing the source of your samples, I don't see anything search engine friendly in there.

A Javascript is called, that's all, which I doublt could ever be Search Engine friendy?

The only thing I have seen as search engine friendly is the menu you have added at your own homepage.

Can this be set at your menue automatically?

Can you let me know, if the menu supports this kind. Your Features and Functions don't say anything about that either.


A: Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com"&glt;menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
