Recent Questions

Q: I’m very interested in your script of deluxe-menu.
I tryed your script out and have some questions now:

How do I highlight main menu items when I selected a main category?
How do I highlight submenu items when I selected a sub category?
How can I have a submenu unfoldet when I selected the matching main category?

I would be pleased to have answers to my questions as soon as possible.
Thank you for support!


A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.

You can 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 have another question concerning pop-up windows. If I do the following:

1) Use the Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up window.

2) Change the location of the gif, css, and js files from all of them being within "deluxe-popup-window.files" to the files being in separate directories and

3) Update the "deluxe-popup-window.js" file and the "jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css" file so that they contain the new directory locations

Will the html window function properly? Thanks for the help.

A: If you change all paths in jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css and deluxe-popup-window.jsfiles correctly your popup window should work fine.

Q: Is there a way to specify certian font styles escpecailly a hanging indent on the text of the javascript menu scroll?

A: You should use Individual styles, for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 0
["fontStyle=normal 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=underline,underline"], // style 1
["fontStyle=normal 14px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,none"], // style 2
];

And assign styles to your items:

  var menuItems = [
["1 Item","index.php","","","","_self","0",,,],
["2 Item","","","","","_self","1",,,],
 ["|Submenu Item","","","","","_self","2",,,],...

Q: I have used Deluxe tuner menu on a web page and facing two small problems

a) The separator I have used do not show up. This is supposed to be a black horizontal line below every menu item. The image name is sep.jpg

b) The submenu appears on the right and I am unable to figure out a way to get the submenu to appear on the left. My navigation is placed on the right panel so if the sub menu appears on right of drop down menu bar, it practically goes off the page.

Can you please help with this and let me know why this is happening ?

A: 1) You should set separators between main items:

["Home","testlink.html", "data.files/bul.jpg", "data.files/bul.jpg", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-"],
["About Us","", "data.files/bul.jpg", "data.files/bul.jpg", "", "", "", "", "", ],

And set:
  var separatorVImage="data.files/sep.jpg";
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="1px";
  var separatorPadding="0px";

2) You should set the following parameter:

  var smViewType=2;
