Q: The menu has a problem with newlines. The menu builds correctly (layout ok) but when pressed on the button nothing happens
At some point, in the DHTML menu, we have the following in the javascript:
var menuitems = [
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,] ]
As you can see we have a newline (\n) between the words "screen" and "will". But when we click on the button nothing happens. If we remove the newline and we click on the button then we first get the alert box. After pressing the OK button the function printResult is called.
Is there any way for us to still use the newline character in the menuItems variable?
This can be easily reproducible. That's why I haven't made an example.
A: Try to write in the following way \\n:
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \\n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,]

A: Now on your website you have the following code:
["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.
You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";
and write
["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
Q: We are facing a problem with display of deluxe menu in Internet explorer 7.0
Java script menuis displaying fine in Mozilla Firefox & Internet Exploer 6.0.
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: Actually I think we've managed to figure most of the below out, so I'd be grateful if you could give us some pointers with the following instead...
How might we be able to include your javascript menu scripts within e.g. asp tags? We'd like some menu options to be hidden from some users, but I'm getting errors when I put asp tags in your data.js file.
A: It seems to me that you have syntactical error in your code.
Please, check that you don't have double quotes in your code. If you have several quotes you shoulduse back slashes before them, for example:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert(\'Test\');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>
["|Loan Profile","../pipeline/loan_profile.asp?id=<%=rsLoans('loan_id')%>", "", "","", "", "", "2"],
