Q: I got your non-profit license a couple of days ago and I’m putting all the pieces together. I appreciate the license. I am having a problem with css styles. I have my site set up with css but can’t figure out how to get deluxe menu to see the css. I have read through the help and examples. I feel so dense. When I set the parameter to 1 what else do I need to see the styles?
A: We have several examples of the menus using css.
You should set var cssStyle=1; parameter and then assign your stylesto the items.
var cssSubmenu is a CSS class name for all submenus. You can set, forexample, background color, background image, borders for all submenus.
var cssItem is CSS class names for all items (normal state, mouseoverstate) in the top menu and submenus.
var cssItemText is CSS class names for text of all items (normalstate, mouseover state) in the top menu and submenus.
It's possible to appoint individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu using individual item styles and individual submenu styles.
Q: I have an HTML application with 4 iframes. The main html file contains 3 iframes (top toolbar, left toolbar, and main area) and the menu. The main area iframe contains one additional iframe were the actual data is. When I interact with the data in this last iframe and try to dynamically change the menu in the .html file I get the error message: 'm' is null or not an object
The API call is:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["test1", "testlink.htm", "", "", "test1m", "_blank", "1"]);
I only have one menu.
I am using IE6
I included these files in both the hta file and the iframe source file.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu (cross-frame mode).
See more info here:

There is no need to call dmenu_...js files.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>
You should write:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>

Q: Is it possible to have the "parent" item be purely an image but the dropdown portion of the menu being in regular text?
What we want to do is show emulate a basic text look for the main menu headings but the font is a special font so we have to use an image. When hovered over we'd like to replace the image (i.e do a rollover) with the same text but a different color.
A: Yes you can create such menu.
You should use images for the main items.
You should write your menu items in the following way:
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
["","", "images/vista1/btn_black.gif", "images/vista1/btn_black_blue.gif", , , , , , ],
Q: I need to be able to set backcolor of selected menu item of the current page in the dhtml collapse menu. Is there a way to do this?
A: No, unfortunately now you can set the font color for the pressed menu itemonly. We'll try to add more parameters to the pressed item in the nextversion of the dhtml collapse menu.
