Q: We recently purchased your full package, and I have a couple of questions regarding deluxe-menu in particular.
1) I'd like to change what's in the noscript area to something other than an ad for you in the event my user has JavaScript disabled. I can understand the copyright remaining intact, however I don't believe I should have to display this to my users in the noscript.
2) I'm using this inside our firewall on a VPN intranet application. Am I going to have issues with the key if the site has multiple host headers and domains attached to it?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
1) If you delete noscript tag from your pages you'll see "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE.
You can generate search engine friendly code. When JavaScript isdisabled you will see the links.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
2) Deluxe Menus support multiple keys in one data file,so you can apply the following syntax to use the same html codeunder multiple domains:
var key ="THE_FIRST_KEY"; //sandvine.com
var key1="THE_SECOND_KEY"; //salestools

Q: You have a great, and very intuitive and easy to learn, product.
I'm down to two dumb questions:
A. What controls the little red arrows? I'd like them on every one of the navigators.
B. How do I create equal space between the drop down menu items? It looks weird right now.
A: 1) If your top item has a submenu this arrow will appear automatically.
For the items without submenus you may write:
["Home <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","index.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About Us <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","about_us.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can find arrowmain11.gif image in the attached example.
Actually you can add any html code inside item's text.
2) Set the drop down menu padding:
var itemPadding="3px 15px 3px 3px";
Q: Need the pricing text in the second-level css menu to be individually styled - ie needs to have colour change and float/align left.
A: You can use any html code for your menu items, so you can try to writeyour menuItems in the following way:
["|Company Registration - <span style='color: #AAA'> $537,50</span>","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: In my page are links in subfolders (for example /ergebnisse/2006/test.htm). When I call a page in a subfolder, in first time this page is shown correctly. The next page I call could not found. I belief the pointer is in the subfolder an so the page could not found.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
