Q: How would I use the submenu feature to display itself only if a person is logged in. such as if a person logged in then the member area would expand, else it would always stay closed with only the login username section showing?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible. You can only add items depending onthe logged user.
You should use API functions:
see more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
For example, you can use:
function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)
function dtreet_ext_deleteItem (menuInd, itemID)
function dtreet_ext_showItem (itemID, visibility)
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
Q: Last, I couldn't solve the issue I meet when I set up a long name for an dhtml side menu item: next item overlaps. Is it possible to specify the width of an item?
A: You can try to use the following dhtml side menu parameters to use combinedbackground for your items:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: I have just bought the software and created a first menu.
As you can see the sub-menus appear away for the menu/navigation bar.
This doesnТt happen when I put the code into an .html file without any divs.
Can you suggest what the problem might be here?
A: The problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add <DIV id=nav_bar_main>
to the
style="position:absolute;"
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=nav_bar_main style="position:absolute;">
Check that.
Q: We are facing a problem with display of deluxe menu in Internet explorer 7.0
Java script menuis displaying fine in Mozilla Firefox & Internet Exploer 6.0.
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
