Recent Questions

Q: In addition, as you know commercial websites also have to comply with EU regulations regarding disabilities, and I further believe that the current menu cannot be read by screen readers for blind/partially sighted/disabled users. Could you please confirm if this is the case, or if the java pull down menu can in fact be read by screen readers?

A: Deluxe java pull down menu is 508 compliant, but we don't have the certificate at this moment.



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

Q: I am using Deluxe-menu 3.0.

I can add dhtml popup menu items and submenu items. Each new sub menu item is placed at the bottom of that list. How can I move it up in the listing.

For instance if my menus are:

2007
2006
2005
2004

and I add 2008 - it will be placed below 2004, but I want it at the top of the list. Each item in the list has multiple subitems, so I don't want to delete the other items to get it in the correct order.

I looked through your help file, FAQ and online questions and could not find an answer.

A: To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.

To copy dhtml popup menu items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.

You can find this info in Tuner's help, "Main Window" sheet.
