Recent Questions

Q: Can I change some of the properties of a browser popup window after it has been created/opened?

A: You can use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open your popup:

function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")

Find more info:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

Call this function once again with new parameters when you want to reload the window (usethe same winID).



Q: Can I use just one data.js in one folder that all the pages with a dhtml popup menu point to?

A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script
(php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.

You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure.
And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional
parameters of the menu and initialize it.

To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

Q: Is it possible to use an external file with these applets? Have tried
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myscript.js">
</SCRIPT>

but it does not work!

Any suggestions? I have one site with many pages, it would be handy not to have to change 20 pages just to modify one link.

A: You can use "menuItemsFile" param, example
<param name="menuItemsFile" value="menu1.txt">
The menu menu items are in menu1.txt, so you'll need to changeonly this menu1.txt if it necessary to add/remove/change items.

Q: We recently implemented your deluxe-menu on our site and are experiencing a few issues...

The java menu (slide-out portion) overlaps flash files on certain pages. In explorer, it seems to work fine, but in Safari, the java menu is hidden under the flash file. Is there anything you can think of that would be causing this... or anyway you know to fix it?


A: You should set the following parameter:

  var dmObjectsCheck=0;

Please, add also dmenu_add.js file on your server.

I've checked your website.

The installation of the menu on your page is incorrect.

You have two entries of dmenu.js file on your site in the <head> tag.
You must have only one entry of dmenu.js file.
Please, delete the same code.
You should write so:

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">   var dmWorkPath="menu/"; </script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, Deluxe-Menu.com, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-image-based-5b.js"></script>
...
</body>

Try that.
