Q: I need your help. I built a menu with your software, and I followed all your instructions on placing it on my web page, but it's not working. The drop down menu in javascript will not go into its table cell. I have a flash banner in the cell above it, and the menu seems to be behind that banner, but the menu is not even inside the table.
I also tried placing the drop down menu in javascript on another page where I do not have a flash banner, but it doesn't show up at all.
A:You've set absolute position for the drop down menu in javascript var absolutePos=1; var posX="100px"; var posY="200px";
You should set:
var absolutePos=0; var posX="0px"; var posY="0px";
Q: Hi - I'm using Deluxe Tuner/Menu version 2.0 and wanted to know if it's possible to set the status bar messages to something other than the link text from the menu items that it currently picks up?
A:You should set parameter: statusString="tip";
Text in a browser's status bar when you put a pointer over an item. Values: "link" - show item link; "text" - show item text; "tip" - show item tip. With another value shows specified value.
Info about this parameter you can find here http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html
Q: I have a Deluxe Menu Multiple Website License and have been using it in several projects where it is running without problems. But now in my new project the sub menu won't drop down in the content frame, but will appear in the same frame as the main menu. What's wrong?
A:It seems that you open the submenu in the wrong frame.
Set ID for the first frameset: <FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*> <FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame <FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame </FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change dm_init(); to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
