Q: We have a problem with true type fonts. The dropdown menu in html does not showing properly for Turkish letters. We are using true type fonts (bold 10px TR Tahoma).
A: Font.If there will be no TR Tahoma font on the user machinethe font won't be shown correctly.
You can find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.
You should choose the font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
For example:
var fontStyle=["bold 9px TR Tahoma, Tahoma","bold 9px TR Tahoma, Tahoma"];
Or you can create images with text and use it for the top items.
Encoding.
You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.2.5.
You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.
Enter these symbols and save your data file.
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 manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent - É
ç - Small c, cedilla - ç
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["ç....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: How can I add a separator to the vertical menu using the dynamic functions?
It seems as though the only way to get a separator into the menu is by defining itbefore hand, but the website I'm building will require me to reload themenus dinamically, and I'm losing the ability to put separators on it.
A: You should add items using the following function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
or
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Find more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
Set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=1;
So, you should write:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 4, ["|-", "", "", "", "", "", "", ])
Q: I’ve tried every configuration available—absolute and relativepositioning and so on. I can’t get the menus to display correctly.
I have to offset the topDX by -150 and so on just to fudge it into a CLOSE position…it certainly doesn’t mirror the preview window
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">
Q: Once more I have a small question about Deluxe Menu.
I have rewritten my homepage (still off-line) to use stylesheets instead of frames. But for some reason the drop down menu templates won't appear anymore.
Does DM need frames or can it also work without frames? I would suppose that it can also work on a page with no frames. But for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.
A: If you don't use frames there is no need to write your init functionin the following way:
dm_initFrame("lower", 0, 1, 1);
That is way you cannot see your menu.
Please, write:
dm_init();
