Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12
How can I upgrade to v.2.0?


A: How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.

   Step 1.
     1.1 For Windows users
      a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
           (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
           http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
      b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/OpenЕ
      c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

     1.2 For other OS users
      a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
      b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

        var keystrokes = 0;
        var dm_focus = 1;
        var dm_actKey = 113;

        var dynamic = 0;

        var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
        var menuHeight = "";
        var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

      c. Save the file.

   Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

   Step 4. Save HTML-page.

They are:
      - dmenu.js
      - dmenu4.js
      - dmenu_add.js
      - dmenu_dyn.js
      - dmenu_key.js
      - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
      - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.

Try that.


Q: Will this menu rollout from within an iframe over a regular frame underneath it?


A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. They work with objects only.
All they can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.


Q: I have tried various different ways, but I cannot get a separator image I have specified in the Separators section of javascript menu builder to display. I have verified that the image exists, but still nothing. The rest of the menu works perfectly. Any help will be appreciated.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

   ["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
   ["||-"],
   ["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],

Try that. You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.


Q: I am really confused by all of this. Perhaps I should state that I am computer savvy, however, I am not at all familiar with javascript or html. I was hoping to use the deluxe tuner to avoid having to deal with any of this.

I removed deluxe tuner and deluxe menu from my computer and reinstalled both. When I went to download the license key, I extracted the file from the ZIP file and replaced the files that were downloaded with the free version.

I am now ready to re-create my menu. It says to edit my data file. When I try to do that it will NOT open. It says my computer does not have the right program? What do I need?

Also, once I have created the menu in Deluxe tuner, where should I save it? In the folder where my website pages are saved? Again, I am using Yahoo sitebuilder, so I am not exactly sure where I should save it in these folders?

Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and reloaded it, It would ask me if I wanted to copy all my files? What is that and what is the purpose?


A: > I am now ready to re-create my menu. It says to edit my data file. When I

You should open your data file with the menu in any text editor andadd your reg. key.
Try that.

> Also, once I have created the menu in Deluxe tuner, where should I save it?
You can save your data file in any place and then copy to the rightplace.

> Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and

If you click yes, Deluxe Tuner save also all engine .js files and allyour images into "data.files/" folder.

You can also click Export->To HTML.
So you'll have html page with your menu and folder with engine .jsfiles and images.

So you should to do the following things:
1. open your page in Yahoo's SiteBuilder
2. open generated with Deluxe Tuner html source code of the page i anytext editor
3. copy such lines from html source code


<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>


and add them in you <head> tag.

Then find such line, for example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>

and add it in you tag in the place where you want to have themenu. For example, you can paste it in <table> or <div> tag:

<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>

or
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</div>

You should also copy "data.files/" folder in the right place. In thefolder where you have you index.html page, created in Yahoo'sSiteBuilder.
