Q: I can not figure out how to get the grey separator gif to show up in the navigation bar scripts.
Where in the DeluxeTuner do you select that?
A: You should add separators between your items,
use "Add separator" button on the mainwidow of Deluxe Tuner.
var menuItems = [
["Item1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item5","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item6","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
var separatorVImage="separv1.gif";
var separatorVWidth="1px";
var separatorVHeight="21px";
Notice that I've used my on separator image, you should use your own image. Q: The reason why I bought this javascript menu html was its ability to float. I have inserted the following data under Floatable Menu but my menu is fixed like a rock.
var floatable=1;
var floatiterations=6
var floatableX=0
var floatableY=1;
I hope you can help me once again
A: Notice, when you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.
What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?
I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html
And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.
A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.
If you have, for example such file structure:
deluxe-menu_files/
dmenu.js
data.js
images/
html_pages/
page1.html
page2.html
index.html
So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.
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.
Q: Do you support keyboard shortcuts (up/down through javascript for drop down menu)? I couldn't find an example of that.
Also, this one from OpenCube (exploding submenus) runs on Firefox too. No way to get that in yours?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't support transitional effect in Firefox. Thereis no way to do it in the current version of the menu. It is possiblethat we'll add this feature in the next versions.
Deluxe Menu has keyboard support. You can check it on our website
http://deluxe-menu.com/
Press Ctrl+F2 to enter/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate
Esc - exit the menu
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
