2.0 Buttons by Web-Buttons.com v3.0.0

Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: There is "Incorrect Copyright" message on our website in IE7. Please, help!


A: Now on your website you're using Deluxe Menu v1.14.

You see "Incorrect Copyright" message because you're using old version of Deluxe Menu. We've fixed this bug in the new version - v2.0.

How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.

Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
(can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

  var keystrokes = 0;
  var dm_focus = 1;
  var dm_actKey = 113;

  var dynamic = 0;
  var smHideOnClick = 1;
  var itemAlignTop = 'left';
  var smSmartScroll = 1;

  var dmAJAX = 0;
  var dmAJAXCount = 30;
  var dmRTL = 0;
  var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
  var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
  var menuHeight = "";
  var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

c. Save the file.

Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.

Step 3. Replace existent <noscript></noscript> tags of the menu by the following code:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

Step 4. Save HTML-page.

Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.

Try that.


Q: I have seen menu like this when i scroll the page the manu will scroll follow.....can delux menu do that ?
If can how ?


A: You should use floatable feature.

You should set absolute coordinates for your menu
  var absolutePos=1;
  var posX="10px";
  var posY="10px";

  var floatable=1;

You should also check that you have dmenu_add.js file in the samefolder with dmenu.js.


Q: So, I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a menu w javascript, just for interest.

A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to rebuild the menu withoutreloading of the page now. We'll add this feature in the next versionof the menu.
