Q: I've noticed something strange in the Deluxe Tree and I am wondering if this is normal.
Here's an example I have in my "data.js" file to populate the javascript ajax tree:
var tmenuItems = [
["Mes alertes/My alerts","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Francais","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeFr.js", ],
["|English","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeEn.js", ],
];
Here's basically how it goes:
- Basically the "0" represents a pre-built style that I have set for the root of my tree.
- Under this are the first child of the root called "Francais" and "English" which I link with a JS file to populate (Because the users will customize the alerts they want to see).
This works perfectly fine. But it is a workaround. Let me explain what I wanted in the first place:
var tmenuItems = [
["Mes alertes ","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", " js/AjaxTreeFr.js ", ],
["My alerts","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeEn.js", ],
];
Basically I wanted to have 1 javascript ajax tree with 2 root items "Mes alertes" and "My alerts" but it seems impossible to attach a js file to the root of the tree view. (It doesn't get populated).
Any ideas?
A: See AJAX feature won't work for first-level in XP style now.
It works if you use:
var tXPStyle=0;
Q: I would like the button in the sub navigation bar to stay white when you navigate to a particular page..
A: Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I'm trying to sell a client on using Deluxe Menu but one complaint is that the text is not centered in the menu pad and I can't find a function in Deluxe Tuner which allows for centering.
I've downloaded the latest version but it didn't help.
A: You should set the following parameter to center your top items:
var itemAlignTop="center";
Q: I am having some trouble placing the menu drop down vertical in frontpage. Does your company have a toll free number and some kind of tech support for the frontpage material. We are very interested in your program.
A: Unfortunately, we don't provide support by phone, e-mail only.
See, you should do the following things.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
2. Export the menu into html file "File/Export/To HTML".
3. Copy generated folder with all engine .js files and images
("deluxe-menu.files/" by default) and data-deluxe-menu.js (by default) into the same folder with you index.html page (created inFrontPage).
4. Now you should add several rows of code into your index.html file.
You can do it in FrontPage (open HTML source of the page and edit it)or in any text editor. Open your index.html page and edit it.
Notice that you'll have errors in the Preview. But you won't get errors if you open this page in the browser.
5. Add the following code in the tag:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
in the place where you want to have the menu.
You can paste it in <table>, <div> tags. For example.
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
6. Save your index.html page and open it in any browser.
