  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Q: I figure I'm missing something basic ....

I've created a simple horizontal menu and uploaded the various files to to my website go generate the bar food menu

How do I add content to each tab rollovers so that the content will appear on this same page (as opposed to having to move to another page)?

i.e. when you click on starters, you see the starter below,
when you click on mains you see the mains below
etc. etc.

I'm new to this .....

A: You should paste your content in the <div> .. </div> tags.

<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DM.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Menu.com"></p>
</div>

<div id="content2" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DT.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Tree.com"></p>

</div>

<div id="content3" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DTabs.gif" width=254 height=58 alt="Deluxe-Tabs.com"></p>
</div>

See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:

1.   var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of theDIV's to show when you click on the tab rollovers.

["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

2.   var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.

["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],

You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')

So, you should write for example:

 ["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],


Q: We are registered user of Deluxe-Menu. We find following query while usingDeluxe-Menu. We are not able to display correctly <Direction Générale> inFrench in down-navigation-menu.

A: You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.3.

You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.
In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.

Enter these symbols and save your data file.

If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.

You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example

&Eacute; - Capital E, acute accent
&ccedil; - Small c, cedilla

  var menuItems = [

["&Eacute;....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["&ccedil;....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],




Q: The button menu is on the top of the screen but it has lines through each of the menus just after the words and before the arrow on each of them.
I have stretched the menu out tocover the whole of the top of the page but i need to get these lines out of the menu.

Can you please help me with this problem


A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):

  var itemStyles = [

["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0",
"fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];

When items text is too long you can have such effect.

You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';

But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif


Q: The problem I am having is specfically on the home page. The Navigation dhtml horizontal menu is at the top of the page. There are also Flash documents on this page only. When you go to the dhtml horizontal menu and select and option that has Sub-Items and position your mouse over those items, when the menu expands to show all of the text, it is cut off on theright side, this only occurres when there is a flash document behind the menu. All of the other pages work fine.

Do you have any idea why this occurrs? I have tried several things to fix this, but no luck. Is there a fix for this?

A: Try to set exact width for your sub menus. You can do it usingIndividual Submenu style:

  var menuStylesNames=["Top Menu","width1","width2",];
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=5px 6px 5px 6px"],
["smWidth=100px"],
["smWidth=210px"],
];
