Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.
Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.
A: Try to specify exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
Q: Is it possible for a javascript navigation barr item to have an associated "target"?
What I mean is I'd like to be able to open the page in a new window, so I'd need to specify the href as well as "target=_new" (in HTML anyway).
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_blank";
Where main - is the name of the main middle frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: If there was a way to show the links inside the html code instead of the dhtml menu js files. Shouldwe use an alternative mode as (css Style?)
A: You can move menuItems into html page directly inside <script> ...
</script> tags:
<script>
var menuItems [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
You can also use search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage before you call your dhtml menu js file.
You'll see text links in that case.
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.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3)
