Q: The dhtml css drop down menu hides under the flash videos an the flash header in firefox, it works alright in IE and I hae been on your FAQs an followed the transparent code to add to the flash to make the menu appear and adding the code to the data file but it still doesnt work. Could you look at the source code of the site and show me an example of how it would work and what edits I need to make as it’s very frustrating that I cant launch the site without this.

A: See how you should install the menu with flash for Firefox here:

  var dmObjectsCheck=1;

and add

return false;
}
in the beginning of your dhtml css drop down menu data file.



Q: A couple days ago I purchased the multi-website license of Deluxe Menu/Tree/Tabs/Popup Window/Calendar for US$149.00

I am having a very hard time getting the popup window to do just a basic function.

All I want is to have a link that I click on the page and the dhtml menu windows pop up.

As it is, the page automatically opens the popup window on loading.

I'm not a Javascript programmer which is why I purchased your product as it seemed I could pick a couple basic values in the GUI and it would create the script and code for me.

It would be REALLY handy if you had a couple of examples of how to create the following:

- Open the popup window upon the page loading

- Open the popup window when the user clicks a link

- Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link

- Close the popup window when the user mouses out

The help section doesn't even provide a menu item for the popup window.

Finding support for it on your site is difficult and what I can find is better suited for someone with Javascript knowledge.

Is there any way you can provide me the code to do this?

Thanks very much for your time and assistance.

A: We have such example on our website:
> - Open the popup dhtml menu windows upon the page loading
To open the popup window upon the page loading you should set thefollowing parameter:
openAfter=0
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=0,,,,,')
You can find this parameter in Deluxe Tuner. See on-load.zip example.
> - Open the popup window when the user clicks a link
Create the popup window in Deluxe Tuner and save it as html. UseonClick event for a link.

See how you should write your link:
<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.
where (see on-click.js file)
'win' - is winID
'<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM:
10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN:center\'>
<B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font:
13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a
simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to
content page or ID of some element.</EM>' - content of your
popup window
'Safari Style' - window title
'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes' - parameters of the popup window'windows_safari' - window skin

You can find more info about deluxePopupWindow.open function here:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

Notice that you shouldn't set openAfter parameter in on-click.jsfile:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')

> - Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link
> - Close the popup window when the user mouses out

You should create such popup in the same way as in the previous point,but use onMouseOver/onMouseOut events.

<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.

<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOut="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,bottom,left,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>Open popup window</b></a>



Q: We currentlly have a menu that uses standard html hyperlinks to open a new window with _blank as the target. Unfortunately, the size of the window is controlled by the browser and we want to be able to control it. The only way that we know how to do that is to use the window.open client-side function and pass the window's dimensions. Here is a sample of the code that would do that:

window.open("url","_blank","height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");

How can we add the javascript code to the dhtml menu vertical instead of a link? Do you have any samples?

A: You can use javascript code within menuItems, for example

Write:
["Test Window","javascript:window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank','height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');", , ,'Monitor Exceptions' , , '0', '0',,],



Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.

1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.

I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.

A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.

You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.

> 2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item?
Yes, please see
