Recent Questions

Q: Why is the submenu a different colour has a different colour than menu items - surely that's not an IE specific feature? The top-level menu items seem to be a different size too, so the layout in IE looks more even.

A: Submenus has a different color because they have a transparency:

  var transparency="90";

Set it to 100.

Submenus also have larger width than top items because they containsmore text. If you want to wrap the text, use
tag between item words.



Q: I'd like to re order the position of the drop down menu's items (by example) the cities.

A-city
C-city
D-city
B-city
E-city etc.....

B-city had to come under A-city, how can we do that?
Thank you

A: I'm not sure I understand where you would like to change the position.In Deluxe Tuner or dynamically on your html page.

To move items in Deluxe Tuner select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.

See the attached screenshot. Click on the item you want to move.Move your mouse in the correct place (holding left mouse button).Wait till you'll have gray line in the place where you want to insertthe item and release mouse button.

To dynamically change your items you can use the following API function:function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

Q: I think that your product is great makes everything look nice and professional with the drop down menu Items. My question is I have certain menu Items that I will need to disable at certain times. I do this now using a standard button and grabbing my parameters from an SQL database. Is there a way for me to basically pull which menu items I need disabled and present the customized menu for each client. I have read that your product has this ability I was looking for a little guidance or maybee a write up on someone that has done this.


A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.

You can try to use the following function

function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.

The example you can find on our site

Please, see the source code on this page.


Q: My website is created on Front Page.
Is it easy to incorporate your menu into a website created on Front Page?

A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:

1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):
