Q: I have set up the dhtml menu javascript at this site. I have chosen to use the transitional filter from IE6. The main menus and sub menus work fine in IE but in Firefox the sub menus do not appear at all. Is their a fix for this. I realize that firefox does not support IE transitions but Ithought the sub menus would appear when the main item is clicked on. that hs not happened. Go to above URL and vie in both IE and Firefox and you will see what I mean.
A: You couldn't see submenus in FF because you had
var transparency="";
You should set your parameters in the following way:
var transparency="100";
var itemBackColor=["#072450",""];
Q: Is there a way to fix it so that in the dhtml tree menu when you have link set it doesn't expand the menu and then load the page. It should only load the expand the menu if I click the + image if I have a link...
Example...
["|ACRYLIC BRUSHES", "fright_itemlist.asp?level1=BRUSHES ~ KNIVES&level2=ACRYLIC BRUSHES","","","","", "_self","","","tmlevel3/m251.js",]
A: But Deluxe Tree works in this way now.
If your item has link and subitems at the same time you should clickon the item to open item's link and click on the "+" sign to expandthe item.
Make sure that you've set the following parameter:
var texpandItemClick=0;
Q: I ran across your site on a search engine and downloaded the trial copy. I am playing around with it and have successfully generated a menu bar which I wanted to try and test out. I have followed the directions for installing it on my trial page of my website and can not get it to work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong . I would truly love to buy this, but even with following the installation instructions, I can not get free javascript drop down menu to work. I use Dreamweaver to build my site.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension and wedon't have plug-ins for it. To install the menu into your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "menu". So you'llhave menu.html, menu.js files and "menu.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in Dreamweaver
3. Copy generated menu.js file and "menu.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

That's all.Q: Thank you. I got the menu working on my web page.
Now, I have to pass dynamic value from the link when the user click the floating javascript menu.
I was using a table type of menu and passing value like this
<td onclick="document.iframename.location.href='abc.jsp?value1=<%value1%>&value2=<%value2%>Click here</td>
What should I do to the deluxe-menu to get the same action?
I need to pass value to next page. The value is dynamic, so I have to use <%value1%> notation for JSP file.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
