Q: We are using the deluxe menu in one of our projects. The menu works well on our integration system but not on our production system.
The only difference is that the integration is running on Tomcat Version 5.5.9 and the production (with the "broken" menu) on Tomcat 5.5.17.
But for me it looks more like a browser problem than a JSP problem.
Unfortunatley the Tomcat 5.5.17 is our production system so fast help is appreciated.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
Make sure that you have dmenu_add.js file in the same folder withdmenu.js file.
Q: All of a sudden I'm getting the 'Incorrect Copyright" on two of my sites.??
Here's what I have in the file:
<!-- Deluxe Menu, Deluxe-Menu.Com -->
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.Com/>Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.Com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">vardmWorkPath = "menudir/dmenu.js";</script>
<!-- (c) 2005, Deluxe-Menu.Com -->
What's wrong??
A: What version of the menu you're using?
Now we have new version of the menu v2.4. We've fixed "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE7 in it.
How to upgrade to v2.4
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.4 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.4 you should do the following.
Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Install new license package. (you can download it from the same link in your license message)
b. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.4
c. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
d. 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 smHideOnClick = 1;
var itemAlignTop = 'left';
var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0;
var dmAJAXCount = 30;
var dmRTL = 0;
var dmObjectsCheck = 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 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent <noscript></noscript> tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
See more info about installation here:

Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.4 has 7 .js files.
They are:
- dmenu.js
- dmenu4.js
- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.4.
Try that.
Q: I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript menu, an item that was selected.
So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu
and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I'm still having the issue with the sub-menus not being in the proper place, however I was able to fix the issue with menu now showing up in IE at all, it turns out I forgot a tag. So do you know why the sub-menu alignment changes depending on the browser window size? Either of the links below should give an example.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">
