Recent Questions

Q: I need to include background images for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.

Your solution refers to creating absolute paths using
  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";

I have implemented this solution but I still think the problem persists.


A: Now you set pathPrefix parameter:
  var pathPrefix_img = "http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/";

And you have such images paths, for example:
  var arrowImageSub=["dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif","dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOn.gif"];

So you have such paths for arrows:
http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif

It is not right.

You should write your paths so:
  var arrowImageSub=["submenuIconOff.gif","submenuIconOn.gif"];

Please, correct it.


Q: The buttons show up just fine in IE, but not in the other browsers. I am using Frontpage for my html.


A: Your file names are incorrect.
For example, now you have:
Button gold side 2 NEW.GIF
Button purple side 2 NEW.GIF

Firefox and Opera cannot open a file with blanks in the name.

Please, rename your files, for example:

Button_gold_.GIF
Button_purple.GIF

Your menu will work fine.


Q: Will this menu rollout from within an iframe over a regular frame underneath it?


A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. They work with objects only.
All they can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.


Q: For each item in my menu, can I specify an image in place of text or background?


A: If you want to use images instead item text, you should useindividual item styles. For example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=200", "itemBackImage=image1.gif,image2.gif"], // style 0
["itemWidth=150", "itemBackImage=image3.gif,image4.gif"], // style 1
];

  var menuItems = [
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0"],
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "1"],
];

Where "0", "1" - style number in itemStyles.

Please, use Deluxe Tuner application to create and assign individualstyles. You can find Deluxe Tuner in the trial package.
