  • Build right-click menus for your site. For this purpose you should appoint a peculiar method for the object you want. The current X,Y of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the context menu.
  • Design menus absolutely based on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is possible to apply the personal CSS styles for every elements of the menu.
  • When the submenu is bigger than the visible page area, the size of submenu will be automatically decreased.

Q: Hi - I've turned on tsavestate which works, but it acts erratically. I have my javascript cascade menu .js file in a /js folder, and the site has multiple directories, but all the pages in all directories use the same menu SSI include, which uses the same deluxemenu code in the common /js folder. I read your KB article about states, cookies and multiple folders, but it is confusing... does it actually save state per directory, versus per the entire domain? I only have one menu for the entire site.. just would like it to save state correctly for all pages in all folders that include that javascript cascade menu.

A: It's a feature of the browser. It creates different cookies for eachsubdirectory.The only way is to place all your pages in the one directory.

A: What version of the menu you're using?

Now we have new version of the menu v2.4. We've fixed "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE7 in it.

How to upgrade to v2.4
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.4 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.4 you should do the following.

Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Install new license package. (you can download it from the same link in your license message)
b. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.4
c. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
d. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

  var keystrokes = 0;
  var dm_focus = 1;
  var dm_actKey = 113;

  var dynamic = 0;
  var smHideOnClick = 1;
  var itemAlignTop = 'left';
  var smSmartScroll = 1;

  var dmAJAX = 0;
  var dmAJAXCount = 30;
  var dmRTL = 0;
  var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
  var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
  var menuHeight = "";
  var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

c. Save the file.

Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.

Step 3. Replace existent <noscript></noscript> tags of the menu by the following code:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

See more info about installation here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

Step 4. Save HTML-page.

Step 5. New engine v2.4 has 7 .js files.
They are:
- dmenu.js
- dmenu4.js
- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js
- dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
- dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.4.

Try that.


Q: How do you center the text within the top-level menu cels for the xml drop down menu?
There doesn't seem to be a setting for it in the tuner.
There's a justification option for the sub-menus, but not for the top.

A: Use the following parameter to specify align for the top items:

  var itemAlignTop="center";


Q: I am trying out your menu and I've made out a little test case in the attached file.

If you run it, you will see that the horizontal drop down menu css scrollsOUTSIDE the container div to the edges of the window. Is there anyway I can make the hhorizontal drop down menu css be within the container div and yet scroll?

And will the solution be cross-browser?

Note that menuDiv needs to have a collapsableDiv style. I am assuming that that is not a problem.

A: Try to set exact width for the submenu:

  var smWidth="925px";
