  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.

Q: I have built a new drop down css menu.

I have a named frame body but when I use the menu creater it works and changes the frame but when loaded to the site it says error on page.

what have I done wrong ?

Try the home which calls home_body.htm and about us which calls About Us.html in the body frame top the right of the menu.

A: You cannot use local paths on the Internet sites. They won't work.

["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Back to main page","D:/Web Design/CCA/home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|History","D:/Web Design/CCA/About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],

You should write, for example:

["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Back to main page","home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|History","About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],



Q: I am trying to figure out how to make multiple clickable link popup windows on the same page.

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 trying to make the tabs all the same width and would like to know how to do that. Therefore "Personal", "Account Summary", "Tax Exemptions", "Password", "Invoices", "Quotes", "VOIP" - I need them to all be the EXACT SAME width.


A: See, I've created Individual style

  var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=250px"], // style 0
];

And used this style for some items

["Account Summary","AccountSummary", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif","tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "",], // style 0
["Tax Exemptions","TaxExemptions", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "", ], // style 0

You can use this style for all items in the same way.

You should set the width of your Tabs
  var bmenuWidth="770px";
and width for each Tab
  var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=110px"], // style 0
];

And assign this style for all items.


Q: Hello we have a javascript menu on our site. I want to know howcan we have our vertical drop menu appear for people who do not have javascript enabled on their computer? The problem is whenever someone doesn't have javascript enabled on their computer we get a lot of errors on our stats page for missing menu images. Please let me know how we can eliminate this situation.

A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.

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

You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your vertical drop menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
