Recent Questions

Q: When I add the menu to sites which are using ASP script the font color doesn't change when I roll over the menu, can you please have a look for me and explain whats up.


A: You're using CSS for your web pages.
You have set the font-color for the <TD> tag in an css style sheet file to #ed9c33.

Notice you should use CSS-based menu (CSS mode) if you're using CSSfor your TD tags (and for other objects).


Q: I need to include backgroundimages for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.
Any solutions for this problem?


A: Now you have such paths for all your images data.files/image.gif

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav01_off.gif,data.files/nav01_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav02_off.gif,data.files/nav02_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav03_off.gif,data.files/nav03_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav04_off.gif,data.files/nav04_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav05_off.gif,data.files/nav05_off.gif"],
];

But you don't have images in "data.files/" folder. That's why youcan't see them.
Please, check all your paths.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: This is great on last quesion how can I make the items on the top menu with java different colors? I looked at this example and cannot figure it out

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/multiple-styles-1-template-sample.html

A: You should create Individual Item Styles and assign them to your topitems:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#CE9DE1,#B978D1",],
["itemBackColor=#84DA7A,#48D641",],
["itemBackColor=#5EA6E1,#507ECB",],
["itemBackColor=#54CDCA,#32ABA8"],
];

["Home","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["Menu Samples","", , , , , "1", , , ],
["Purchase","", , , , "_blank", "2", , , ],
["Contacts","", , , , , "3", , , ],



Q: When I click on a tab in the css drop down menu tabs it is not activate.
What is the setting to change this?

A: You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters
based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters
from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>>
