Q: I am trying to figure out how to make multiple clickable Link popup windows on the same page. I want to have six or more. Here is what I have tried for having two windows and could not get to work:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- DeluxePopupWindow.com -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">Javascript Popup Window by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chase1.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chase2.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxepopupwindow.com -->
============================================================================ ===============

<body>
<p><script type="text/javascript" src="chase1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chase2.js"></script>&nbsp;</p>
============================================================================ ================

<a href="javascript:;" id="chase1">Click Here to see a chase sample</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="chase2">Click Here</a>

This does not work. I had it somewhat working. Is there a better way to do this? I will want to have at least 6 popup windows on the same page. I could not find any samples on your website.

A: You can do it in two ways:
1) Call different data files with DIFFERENT winID:"window1"!

2) Call only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open your windows:
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('window1', 'Content1 Content1', 'Window1',
'width=220,height=100,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect',
'windowsvista_graphite')">Click Here to see a chase1 sample</a>

Q: I am currently using deluxe menu to generate a mouseover dropdown menu for my charity website - although it works fantastic in internet explorer it doesnt seem to work correctly in firefox, the mouseover dropdown menu looks flat and the special fade in effect doesnt work.
Please can you advise on what I am doing wrong.

A: Filters and transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.

See more info here:

Q: I have a problem...
On some computers running IE the menu appears and works correctly, on others it doesn't appear.
There is only a line that says JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com.
Both of these computers have the same version of IE running. I have reset the security levels back to default levels on both. Still the menu doesn't appear.
For all practical purposes both copies of IE are the same.


A: You should change your security settings in IE to allow Javascript onpages you load. In other case you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

You can also use Deluxe Tuner application that allows you to generate additional html code for search engine that can't parse Javascript. So, you can use menu links on browsers that doesn't have Javascript support enabled.


Q: I've tried to add the pathPrefix_img as suggested and I'm still having trouble with images.
Can you provide anymore feedback on what I'm doing wrong?


A: Now you have such paths:

  var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";

and

  var arrowImageMain=["CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];

So, the full path we'll be:

http://www.domain-name.com/images/CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif

Is it right?
I've tried to download your image from this link. There is no such image.
If you want to put all your images into the "images" folder you should write so:

  var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";

and

  var arrowImageMain=["arrv_white_1.gif",""];

Please, check that you upload all your images on the server in the right places.
