Q: Hi- I'm having a problem with a really wide horizontal code drop down menu. Rather than have it be so wide (due to the large number of items in it) we want it to wrap into a new row underneath the top so a visitor to the site doesn't have to use the scroll bar to scroll to the right to see the whole menu.

A: You can use multicolumn feature of Deluxe Menu, see example

http://deluxe-menu.com/multicolumn-menu-sample.html

or
Smart Scrolling

Q: We are registered user of Deluxe-Menu. We find following query while usingDeluxe-Menu. We are not able to display correctly <Direction Générale> inFrench in down-navigation-menu.

A: You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.3.

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 manually
change your letters in any text editor.

You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example

&Eacute; - Capital E, acute accent
&ccedil; - Small c, cedilla

  var menuItems = [

["&Eacute;....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["&ccedil;....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],




Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu en dhtml item of the Deluxe Menu.

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

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

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu 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: Can I install the menu using my buttons? I might be able to do it if the buttons used only one image, but they use two images. One is light and the other dark.

I also have some questions:
1) Will the menu stay in view when the user scrolls down?

2) I'm not even sure I care if the menu stays in view, because I believe that is done using php and is not good for SEO. The file that the search engines see is index.html while the file that visitors see is home.php. I think it would be better for SEO to have a normal .html page. Are you able to do that?


A: See how you should make image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "menu1a.gif", "menu1b.gif", "Home Page"]

1) You should use floatable feature.
See the following parameter:
  var floatable=1;

2) You can generate search engine friendly code using Deluxe Tuner:
"Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code".
