Q: I want to use single css drop down menu bar for each page without applying HTML Code for each page separatly.I mean to use CSS Menu as per our .JS Menu.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible with css menu.
On each page you should call css file with styles:
<link href="menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and add code for the menu on each page in the place where you want to have a menu, forexample:
<ul class="cssMenu cssMenum">
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.html">Home</a></li>
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="#"><span><img class="def" src="default.files/icon1.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon1o.gif">Product Info</span>
<![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class=" cssMenum">
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.html"><img class="def" src="default.files/icon2.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon2o.gif">Features</a></li>
</ul>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->lt;/li>
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.htm">
<img class="def" src="default.files/icon1.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon1o.gif">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>

http://deluxe-menu.com/custom-build-purchase.htmlQ: I have a issue involving the location of the files.
What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?
I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html
And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.
A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.
If you have, for example such file structure:
deluxe-menu_files/
dmenu.js
data.js
images/
html_pages/
page1.html
page2.html
index.html
So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
