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: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following
Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm
When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.
A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:
var tmenuBackImage="";
var titemBackImage=["",""];
changed to:
var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";
var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];
Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You should set this parameter:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ], ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Blade","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/blade.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Eureka","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/eureka.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||I Pity the Fool","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/ipitythefool.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
You cannot use local paths on your website.
Please, correct it. <
br>You should write for example: ["||24","site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Battlestar Galactica","site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
Try to use also the attached engine .js files on your server.

Could you please help me, software look fine but we don't have time totest the code, tutorial will be appricieted.
A: Unfortunately, we don't have tutorial yet, we'll try to create it inthe nearest future.
To create the pop up menu you should to do the following steps:
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Please, try to download trial package once again. We added alltemplates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.
After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.
You should set the following parameter
var pathPrefix_img="";
2. You should add the following parameter for the pop up menu:
var popupMode=1;
You should do it manually. Please, open your data file in any texteditor and add such parameter.
3. You should install the menu on your page.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- 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>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
...
</body>
Where return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place. In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.
