Recent Questions

Q: The browser I am using is Internet Explorer 7.0 at Windows Vista (with "Security" set at "Medium"). I get the message "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer" and then I have to click this message/bar in order to "Allow blocked content". After I do that the javascript menu script appears as it should, but of course I don't want visitors to go through that. FYI, I do not have the same problem with the dynamic menus on your website or in other websites, which appear normally right from the start.

A: You should adjust your browser settings.

Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/

and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.



Q: I have generated my navigation menu bar and want to incorporate it into my current website.
How do I resize and position the navigational menu inside a table?


A: 1) Resize:
You could specify exact width for menu using that parameter:

  var menuWidth="400px";

You can also set exact width for each top item using Individual Item Styles:

  var itemStyles = [ ["itemWidth=120px"],];

  var menuItems = [ ["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];

2) Position the navigational menu inside a table:
You can paste the menu inside the <div> or <table> tag, for example:

<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>


<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>


Q: Can I use just one data.js in one folder that all the pages with a dhtml popup menu point to?

A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script
(php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.

You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure.
And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional
parameters of the menu and initialize it.

To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

Q: I am having a problem trying to figure out how to generate a link to a popup window.
I looked at what you have on your site but it is not clear to me.


A: You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on your
page. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:

<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
In the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,
onClick or onMouseOut fields.

Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"
for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.

Or you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or onMouseout on a link.

So, you should create a link (you can also use other object) on your page and set id="" for it,
forexample:

<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>

In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link

If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
