Q: I was using the trial version with no problems. However, once I upgraded to the full version as above, I am having problems getting my DHTML menus to work properly. I'm using xp pro with ie7. As I said before, I had no problems with the trial version.
Whenever I click on a menu java tab now, ie7 displays an error message in the corner. When clicked it reads:
Line: 18
Char: 16940
Error: 'tabs[...]id' is null or not an object
Code: 0
I am using the 'Microsoft Like Style' tabs template in your DHTML tuner software. I get no errors when the tabs are not linked to hidden <div> tags. However, when they are linked to display the hidden <div> tags I get the error. But they do still display the correct hidden <div> tags after 2 or 3 clicks.
A: Try to set the following menu java parameter:
var bselectedSmItem=0;
Q: Is it possible to have menu items act like regular hyperlinks?
For instance in Firefox I like to "middle click" hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, or in IE right click and open in new window.
However with Deluxe-Menu this does not seem to work.
A: If you want to open your links in the new window you should set the item target parameter to "_blank", for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , "_blank", , , , ],
...
You can include also any html code in the Item Text.
For example:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
Q: I will probably purchase your developer version mostly because I want access to the 600 icons....
1) Do you offer access to these icons with any other license for css drop down menu?
2) I develop sites for several clients, what is involved for them to make small changes to their menus... i.e. add or delete a menu item or sub-item... Will they need to purchase a license to make changes?
3) Does the developer version access your site at runtime? I do not have a problem registering my client sites and getting a key... I just want to make sure at runtime their site does not contact yours.
A: 1) Icon collection is available in Developer licenses only.
2) No, there is no need to purchase the license in that case.
3) No, script doesn't access our site at runtime.
Developer version of the script doesn't check reg. keys at all.
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 css drop down menu 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: How can I use Danish characters in my menu using javascript? In normal html you would use something like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
What should I do in Deluxe Menu?
A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, youshould set UTF-8 encode on your page too
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
