Q: I'm interested in using DHTMLMenu in web applications I develop and have some questions about licensing.
My company develops web applications that act as front ends for clients' legacy mainframe programs. DHTML Menu would be of great benefit in adding navigation functionality to these applications. Each application is custom-developed for each client, so we don't have a pre-packaged product in which the menu would be used. Would the Developer License meet our needs for this sort of development?
Also, a small minority of our clients develop and distribute applications themselves based on the applications that we develop for them. Does the Developer License support transferable redistribution? If not, how much would a license that permitted this cost?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
A: Yes, Developer License will suit you.
You can use it within your applications and distribute them.
Q: We are using the deluxe menu in one of our projects. The menu works well on our integration system but not on our production system.
The only difference is that the integration is running on Tomcat Version 5.5.9 and the production (with the "broken" menu) on Tomcat 5.5.17.
But for me it looks more like a browser problem than a JSP problem.
Unfortunatley the Tomcat 5.5.17 is our production system so fast help is appreciated.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
Make sure that you have dmenu_add.js file in the same folder withdmenu.js file.
Q: There is a grey line that surrounds my menu (its on a page with black background. How do I get rid of the grey line?
A: See, you set the shadow for the top items and submenus
var shadowLen=2;
var shadowColor="#C4C4C4";
var shadowTop=1;
You should set
var shadowLen=0;
var shadowColor="#C4C4C4";
var shadowTop=0;
Q: I have the mouseover menu working fine but want the chosen option to display in a tab under the menu.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't have API functions to set pressed item on-the-fly. You can set presseditem on the page loading only.
But you can use onClick event for the Deluxe Menu items and call the following function toopen appropriate tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
["<div onClick='dtabs_itemClick(0,2)'>Open 3rd tab</div>","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
