Q: I am evaluating various menu systems and need to know if your supports key navigation, like alt-F to select a menu?


A: Deluxe Menu has keystrokes support.

Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
  var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.

Ctrl+F2 - enter the menu/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate.
Enter - enter the menu.
Esc - exit the menu.

Use also the following parameters:
  var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
  var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.

Q: I'm interested in to buy the product of yours: deluxe-menu. But I've got a dude.

I've been working with the trial version, but I haven't been able to put HTML code within the javascript pop menu Item, in order to do actions like opening a new URL, or opening a file or page with .htm extension.

A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.

For example:

  var menuItems = [
...
   ["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='search
the web' size=15 style='font-size:10'>&nbsp;<INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
["test","testlink.html","",]
["<a href='testlink.html'> test </a>","","",]



Q: How to include the search box in the navigation menubar?

A: Use the following javascript menu parameter to enable/disable the "search support" for the Deluxe menu:

  var dmSearch=2;

0-nosearch; 1-ordinary search (within one level of submenus only); 2-recursive (within the whole menu).

Set item's link to "search:", for example:

["","search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'", "", ],

Q: Obviously your menus are NOT cross browser usable, as you can e.g. Padding does not work in opera, while it works in IE.
When will there be an update on that bug?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try also to specify unitsin "px":
  var menuWidth="500px";
  var menuHeight="20px";
  var smWidth="116px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
  var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
