Recent Questions

Q: I have one problem you may be able to help with:

If I set

  var tsaveState = 1;

The following errors are generated:

_tls is not defined

tob has no properties

and the menu doesn't display.

If you could help with this I would be grateful.


A: You should use dtree_ss.js file.

You should install your menu so:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree_ss.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/tree-data.js"></script>


Q: I am trying to have the selected top menu w dhtml item remain on the mouseover event after it is selected. It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal. How do i get this to work.

I tried removing the variable from the data file and calling it using
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">   var pressedItem=set 1,2,3 depending on page </script>
but this does not seem to work as it does for tabs.

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu w dhtml by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.



Q: I have problems to show scandic letters in rollover navigation bar in ie6/7 browsers.
Every other browsers show menu correctly, but these can't show scandic letters.


A: Actually you can use any letters in the menu.

Please, check that you've set "Tools/Use utf8 encode".

When you save your data file in UTF8 you should use the same encoding on our html page.

So you should write:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.




Q: If is there any way I can give some space between pressed_item and hover item for the rollover menus

A: You can try to specify spacing parameter:

  var itemSpacing=1;

You can also try to use separators.

You should add separator between menu items:
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-",],
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Use "Add Separator button in Deluxe Tuner.

Set separator parameters in the following way:
//--- Separators
  var separatorImage="";
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="2px";
  var separatorAlignment="left";
  var separatorVImage="data.files/separator.jpg";
  var separatorVWidth="2px";
  var separatorVHeight="100%";
  var separatorPadding="0px";
