Q: I couldn't understand where to put copied SE Friendly code for the dhtml top menu.
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage in the beginning of the BODY tag.
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="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: We have another question. How can we increase the width of the vista style buttons? Changing the itemwidth style will make the buttons larger but it also cause all the images to appear in the wrong place.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px"
A: The width of Vista images is 92px. So, if you want to create the itemswider than 92px you should change vista images in any graphic editor,for example in PhotoShop.
Q: I am interested in purchasing your product (in particular – Mac Tabs). I downloaded a trial to test Mac Tabs. The trial Mac Tabs is not the same as shown on your website where the “links” appear horizontally under the “tab”. In this trial version the “links” appear as tabs also and not in a horizontal bar under the tab.
In testing the XP Tabs trial, I found it worked correctly.
Is there something wrong with the trial version of Mac Tabs?
A: See, if you want to add links to the tabs you should create your tabmenu in Tab mode.
var tabMode=1;
You can find all instructions how to create such tabs in the Templatewindow "MAC" tab.
You should add subitems for the items and assign Tab Style for thesubitems.
For example try to use MAC Style 2 Tab Mode.
Q: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?
A: You can do it in three ways now.
1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:
function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.
3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
