Q: Could you please tel me : How to use UN-Code on the item. I make some menu based on Farsi language ( Arabic) , but it does not work.
A: You're able to use any characters for Deluxe Menu in the same way asyou use them for standard html page.
The only issue is that submenus can be shown in incorrect positionwhen you're using dir=rtl for your page.
var dmRTL = 0;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.
Use also
var smViewType = 2;
for right-to-left languages.
Please, see example:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.html
This examples demonstrates how the menu can change a submenusdirection. Use var smViewType parameter to change a submenusdirection:
var smViewType = 0..3;
Values:
0 - from left to right;
1 - from left to right + upwards;
2 - from right to left;
3 - from right to left + upwards;
In Deluxe Menu when you call data .js file you can try to specify the encoding:
<script src="data.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.
You should manually correct your code.
Q: Under Parameters ->> Dimensions ->menuWidth
Even I change the value such as 150px it doesn't have any effect on javascript dhtml menu itself.
Changing menuHeight property such as menuHeight = 123px moves menu down from the top of the page instead of changing height of the menu itself.
I used templates ->> vista -> vista style 3-03 to generate the javascript dhtml menu and modified it.
A: See, you have itemWidth and itemHeight in the Individual Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=94px","itemHeight=23px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=bold 10px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF", "itemBackImage=data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan.gif,data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You cannot set the less value for the menuwidth in that case. You canset only the bigger value:
var menuWidth="550px";
To change the menuHeight you should also use itemHeight parameter, forexample
itemHeight=123px
Q: I am investigating why a few things have not been working for sometime on our site.
This is the error I get in the console "The requested URL /js/menudir/dtree_ss.js was not found on this server."
I update the files awhile back and removed the dtress_ss.js as I was instructed, why is it that it that the script is still trying to reference this file?
What do I have to do to remove this error from java script tree menu?
When I updated the files a few months back the new files seem to fix a problem we were having with Chrome, but broke the drop down menu in Explorer. I have yet to resolve this. The drop down menu appears to work fine in all other browsers.
The nav menu not working in IE7 (not sure about IE6 or IE8) is a bigger issue than the error in the console, but thought maybe they were related. From our analytics, the strong majority of our customers are using IE7.
A: 1) dtree_ss.js
The current version of Deluxe Tree doesn't have dtree_ss.js at all. You should deletethe following code from your page:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="/js/menudir/dtree_ss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
In the body tag you should write:
<td >
<script src="/js/menudir/data-tree.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
In the HEAD tag you should write:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">java script tree menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="/js/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
2) Error in IE7.
You're using new engine files and old data files for the menus now.
I'm sending you the example.
Use engine files for Deluxe Menu and Deluxe Tree and data files (data.js and data-tree.js)from it.
Q: How do I change the background color for the floating drop down menu
A: To change menu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2";
var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
You can also use Individual Item Styles to change the color of the specific items:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2"],
];
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"],
];
