Q: I'm fairly new to HTML and Java. I'm using your popup window html, (its great) but do notknow how to use the "ID object" function. I'm using Frontpage as my HTML editor. The only way I can figure out how to give "a line of text" or a "Graphic" and ID is to create a "Layer". That creates an (ID) in the HTML script. But I still cannot get the pop up to work when clicking the object. How is the best way to create an object ID that will all Deluxe pop-up to recognize it?
Can I have two separate pop-up within the same html page?
One last thing...Can I create a pop up that fly's out after 10 seconds, and within that fly out have a link that opens another pop up with important info in it using the iframe feature?
This sound like novice questions, but that's me!
A: See you can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you've added an image in the FrontPage. Right click on this image and goto "Picture properties...", on the Appearance tab select 'Style...' and enter any text inthe ID field, for example 'open_popup'. Switch to 'Code' mode, you'll have the followingcode:
<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. Switch to 'Code' mode andadd id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
> Can I have two separate pop-up within the same html page?
You can add as many popups as you want.
> Can I create a popup window html that fly's out after 10 secondsCreate popup window and set openAfter=10 parameter to it. You can find this parameter in'Actions' section.
> and within> that fly out have a link that opens another pop up with important info in it using the iframe feature?Use HTML content as window content. Set winContent parameter in 'Common' section.
Add link inside the html content:
<a title='Click to open sample' href='javascript:;' onclick=\"deluxePopupWindow.open(\'window1\', \'files/test.html\', \'Window2\',\'width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect\', \'default\', \'iframe\')\">Click to open Popup Window with 'files/test.html'content.</a>
More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")
Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.
content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.Q: I am using your javascript menu over. I have had a report today that the menu is problematic with IE8. As follows:
"A bit more of a concern is in IE8 where the menu does not function correctly in general at all. When you hover over the menu text the sub menu appears, but when you move your mouse across to select an item off the sub menu it closes. "
Are you able to confirm and rectify his problem?
A: Yes, our menu has some problems with IE8, because IE8 is a betaversion and has just a part of future functionality, for exampleit still doesn't have filters.
We're planning to add the full support for IE8as well as for all major browsers.
All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
Q: Will the .js file dhtml menu script still be obfuscated with the purchased version of Deluxe Menu?
I'll need to tweak the final script to create the menus I want so this would make a big difference in my decision to purchase.
A: See in Single Website License, Multiple Website License and DeveloperLicense our source code is obfuscated.
And in Developer License with Javascript Source Code you can see thecode and change it.
We support all our customers.
But we DO NOT provide technical support for modified source code.Q: How does the search engine stuff work. A web developer told me to stay away from java script if you want google to recognize your webpage.
Can you comfort me by telling me how it works.
A: Spiders can't read dynamically-generated Javascript code, so theycan't read menu links.
Search engine friendly means that you can add additional html codewithin your html page. You can generate such a code using Deluxe TunerGUI that you can find in the trial menu package. But if you'll use themenu without any additional html code, spider won't see menu links.
