Q: Cross-frame mode/ showByClick=1: I only want this to work on the main level javascript menu bar, not the submenus. Is there anyway to showbyclick only for the main level and then not for the submenus?
A: You can use Individual Item Styles to set showByClick parameter forthe top items only.
var itemStyles = [
["showByClick=1"],
];
Q: How do I create more space between the menu items?
I have tried adding to the Item Appearance, itemSpacing and itemPadding.
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
var itemPadding = "2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: Im working on a menu with your program, and am unable to make the javascript sticky menu save the hover states after you move off the navigation item and onto its child nav items.
For example
Example Nav item 1
-Example Sub Nav item 1
-Example Sub Nav item 2
-Example Sub Nav item 3
When I hover on the Example Nav Item 1, the hover state works, but when I move my mouse down (Im using a horizontal javascript sticky menu) to select Example Sub Nav item 1, I want the hover state to stay selected on the "parent" Nav Item. Is this possible? What is the variable you have to change to accomplish this?
A: Yes, it's possible, please use
var saveNavigationPath = 1; The javascript sticky menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
Q: We recently purchased your full package, and I have a couple of questions regarding deluxe-menu in particular.
1) I'd like to change what's in the noscript area to something other than an ad for you in the event my user has JavaScript disabled. I can understand the copyright remaining intact, however I don't believe I should have to display this to my users in the noscript.
2) I'm using this inside our firewall on a VPN intranet application. Am I going to have issues with the key if the site has multiple host headers and domains attached to it?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
1) If you delete noscript tag from your pages you'll see "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE.
You can generate search engine friendly code. When JavaScript isdisabled you will see the links.
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 menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
2) Deluxe Menus support multiple keys in one data file,so you can apply the following syntax to use the same html codeunder multiple domains:
var key ="THE_FIRST_KEY"; //sandvine.com
var key1="THE_SECOND_KEY"; //salestools
