Q: I'm trying the deluxe menu and I'm positively impressed.
But now I'm trying to simply use javascript to add some properties to my menu.
I modified the dynamic to 1
and I get only one error in the javascript monitor telling me:
Error: dm has no properties

A: Please, see how you should write this function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Hello", "testlink.htm", "", "", "Hello", "_blank", "-1"]);
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0. (you have written menuInd=1, but if you have one menu on your page you should write 0).
You also have written itemStyleInd=1, but you have only one style in your menu. So you should write "0" or "-1".
Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.
A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.
You can generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
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.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I can not figure out why my submenus are not opening next to the javascript menu horizontal? I have included a picture so you can see what I am talking about. When I am in the turner program they pop up just fine but on my website they don't.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).In other words, you can't get the value of "POSITION: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px"
to the
<div id=div_name>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=div_name style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">
Try that.
Q: I do have issues. There are not the problems when you are on the home page (you can click on one of the dropdown submenus and go there.
However, when you try to go to another page from there to another page on a nother drop down, nothing happens except javascript erros. The dropdowns physical work, in that they drop down, but the links don't go anywhere. Does that make sense.
A: See, the problem was in your dmWorkPath parameter
On all pages placed in the subfolder you should write it in thefollowing way:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../ifnav.files/";</script>
Please, correct it.
You should also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
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
Please, use pathPrefix_link parameter.
