Q: Cross-frame mode: after clicking on a menu item and the subframe is loading and then mouse over the menu when the subframe has not finished loading a javascript error occurs and then the javascript vertical menu breaks.
A: You can get this error when you load pages from the another domain.
Deluxe Menu can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!
Q: I am trying to placed a separator image in between each item in my css vertical dropdown menu. I have placed the image in the seperator field and it will not display. How can I get an image to be a separator in between items on my css vertical dropdown menu?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in css vertical dropdown menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in css vertical dropdown menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: Please tell me in very plan instructions how to load the dhtml menu slide on to a blank Front Page web page?
A: You should do the following things:
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
2. Export the menu into html file "File/Export/To HTML".
3. Copy generated folder with all engine .js files and images
("deluxe-menu.files/" by default) and data-deluxe-menu.js (by default) into the same folder with you index.html page (created inFrontPage).
4. Now you should add several rows of code into your index.html file.
You can do it in FrontPage (open HTML source of the page and edit it)
or in any text editor. Open your index.html page and edit it.
Notice that you'll have errors in the Preview. But you won't get errors if you open this page in the browser.5. Add the following code in the tag:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript&ht;
<script type="text/javascript">> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
in the place where you want to have the menu.
You can paste it in <table>, <div> tags.
For example:
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
6. Save your index.html page and open it in any browser.
Q: Hello. We need some tech support regarding our deluxe menu.
All of our pages that have the menu code on them are suddenly giving status bar errors that say: "Done, but with errors on page"
When pulling up the error details, the dialog says:
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
On pages that do not have the menu at all, we're not getting the error.
A: Now you have such code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var dmWorkPath = "menu/";
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
So, your menu cannot find var dmWorkPath = "menu/"; parameter on yourpage.
Try to write your code in the following way:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menu/";</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></SCRIPT>
