Q: Is transparent drop down menu compatable with MS Expression Web?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu into your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
Q: I have another question:
Menu behavior in SAFARI is does not properly work compared to EXPLORER.
If you have a look at the site via SAFARI, please do the following:
Example:
Under menu "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
It will then show a left hand menu. Please select "2008/2010".
It will correctly show content.
Then if you try to select again via menu "Projets"; the html menu navigation does not show anymore the submenus. You still need to click a menu without submenus, like "News", and then afterwards you can click "Projets" and the system will again show submenus.
This strange behaviour does not appear in EXPLORER nor in FIREFOX.
A: The problem is in your frame structure after you open "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
Your menu won't work correctly with such frame structure.
You should use the following frame structure for all pages at once:
--------------------------------------------------------
topFrame with the html menu navigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Algerie_leftFrame |
with | Algerie_mainFrame
Tree Menu |
--------------------------------------------------------
bottomFrame
--------------------------------------------------------
and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);
Or you shouldn't use Algerie_leftFrame and Algerie_mainFrame at all (use one mainFrame) and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);Q: When Mouse hover on Menu, menu Items showing below (showing down) the Menu. Is it possible to show the Menu Item List in up direction (above the Menu)? Please assist me in this issue.
A: See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.html
You should use the following parameter:
var smViewType = 1;
Q: How I can make paths for images and links in my DHTML MENU absolute?
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters in your DHTML MENU.
