Q: Is transparent drop down menu compatable with MS Expression Web?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu into your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
Q: I bought on September 28th the complete pack Deluxe after having tried it for an application which is not a site but which contains HTML pages and drop-down menus which were made with deluxe tree.
I deleted the trial version and installed the definitive version.
I placed the key the var key = "XXXXXXXXX; in each of my menus (three in everything) and I replaced dtree.js, dtree_add.js and dtree_dyn.js by those of the new version in each directory
Now when I relaunching I have an incorrect key which appears in the top of the menus...
Why?
Is these key has a relationship with the name of the site indicated during the order? By reading again the information I indicated the name of my site but it is not for this site that I wished the menu drop down, only for this application which has no precise name...
A: See, you should register the menu for a domain name or for IP address.
In other words, you should register the menu for the domain name thatyou print in a browser's search string, for example:
http://intranet/
http://klinikum-nuernberg/
http://192.168.0.1
http://localhost
But you menu won't work on a local machine, for example
j:\Stationshandbuch\start.html
with Single or Multiple licenses.
If you want to use the menu with an application that doesn't have afixed domain name you should buy Developer License.
With the Developer license you can use the menu on an unlimited number of Internet or Intranet sites and on the local machines.This version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to a domain name,so it can be used with an application that doesn't have a fixed domain name.
Q: I want to be able to have all of the submenus start at the top of the menu. For example, when I hover across each of my menu items in a vertical level, I want the sublevel menu to start at the very top of the menu, not out beside the menu option. How can I achieve this
A: You can have such effect only for the first subitems.
Others subitems will have Y offset.
Please, see the attached example.
You should adjust the following parameters:
var topDX=-116;
var topDY=-31;
var DX=-148;
var DY=-32;
Q: I've been working with your javascript menu sample and like what I see so far. One issue I have seems to be with the smColumns variable. I'm assuming it was for just the sub menus but in the trial when I change this the entire menu goes into multi- column mode. I exported the project to HTML thinking I could manually change it there, that produced the same result, changed the entire menu to multi-column.
Our menu will be dynamic (populated from SQL Server) with only some of the sub menus being multi-column. We will even have multiple sub menus for certain items and we'll need to have the capability to set which one of those will be displayed in Multi-columns and which ones will not. (See Below) So the question becomes; Is there a way to set the number of columns only for the javascript menu sample subitems we desire to have multi-column and if so how?
A: You should use Individual Styles and set number of javascript menu sample submenu columns foreach submenu individually.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
