Q: I have started using your menu and when testing in both IE-browsers the CPU jumps to 100% for at least 30 to 60sec.
Then the sub menu appears but also not as fast as in Firefox(no effects).
Now does my menu contains about 1476 item-lines, and I use the cross-frame modus.
Any ideas?
A: It is possible that the loading speed can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.
Yes, you can notice some delay in IE, but in over browsers it works better.
Deluxe Menu works fast, but 1500 is a large value.
I tried to create large menus on my machine: P4 3GHz, 512RAM WinXP SP2
It takes:
- 1000 items ~ 10 sec
- 2000 items ~ 40 sec
You can try to use AJAX-like technology.

Q: I created a test page with your product. I have a frame page consisting of a header and content.
The drop down menus are in the header and cross nicely into the content frame when they drop down. This part is working as planned! The first time I open the test page in my browser any link in any drop down menu will work the first time just fine.
Then, if I pick another link in any drop down menu, it appends the address of the first link to the address of the second link and the URL fails.
It is acting like it writes the url for the first link into some variable, then forgets to null it on select, and then appends the url for the second link to the variable. As I click links in different drop down menus it keeps doing this append feature until I have a very long worthless URL path. If I close the browser and start over then the first thing I click on will work properly, but that is all that will work.
I tried this test page on two different PCs, just in case there was a problem on my browsers. MS IE.6.0
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.
Q: If I select one subitem in the slide out menus the other - opened subitem is closed.
Is there a way to get this facility for Items?
A: You should set the following parameter:
var tcloseExpandedXP=1;
Q: My question is, the down arrows only show on the main page, how do I fix this.
A: Please, check images paths within data .js file.
For example, if you have data.js file here:
c:/website/data.js
and your images are stored here:
c:/website/images/
you should set image name so (for example):
var arrowImageMain = ["images/arrow1.gif", "images/arrow2.gif"];
If you use Tuner, you should save data .js file before you'll selectimages. When you save .js file it means that you set a root directoryfor the project, so Tuner can make all selected images with relativepaths.
