Q: Is there any way to have a floating menu float in relation to the centre of the screen (not the left of the screen). I have a centre based website. When I use the floating menu and view the site on different screen sizes, the floating menu appears in different places on the x scale. For example, I would like it 20 percent from the edge of my centre based webpage, not 20 percent from the left of the screen. I want the menu to appear on the same horizontal place on my webpage (which is centre based)
A: No unfortunately it is not possible to write
var posX="50% - 20";
You should adjust your coordinates to center the menu with absoluteposition.
Q: I am trying to use Delux-menu for our project, I am not able to use dynamic features of drop down menu script. I will send the html file, where I am calling the java script.
I am getting the error dm_menu[mInd] has no properties.
A: You have one menu in your example, but you write:
function hide(vis) {
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility(1, 0, 2, vis);
That is mean that you want to hide item in the second drop down menu script.
You should write:
function hide(vis) {
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility(0, 0, 2, vis);
Q: Does this mean that nothing needs to be installed on the server side to make javascript menu?
Here is why I am asking this:
We have a main "corporate" web site, which is going to use the Deluxe Menu. One of the links on the main site will launch a page, which is running on a separate web server (physically separate server, and not a load-balancing scenario). Since all of these pages should look identical to the users, they all have to use the exact same configuration and look&feel in Deluxe Menu. I was wondering if any "configuration" type settings are stored on the server. In other words, would we have to maintain the Deluxe Menu install on two separate servers?
A: There is no need to install anything on your server. You should onlycopy a folder with all engine files (dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js, ...) anddata file on your server. Then you should call these files on yourpages, for example:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>

Actually you can copy deluxe menu files on the one server only anduse absolute paths.
Q: I do not understand how may I include content in each tab in the , may you send to me examples or more information?
A: 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 the
DIV's to show when you click on the tab.
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You should paste your content in the <div> .. </div> tags.
<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<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">
<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">
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DTabs.gif" width=254 height=58 alt="Deluxe-Tabs.com"></p>
</div>
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", "", "", ],
