Q: Two questions. First I get a "Error! Skin Load!" popup when my onmouseover popup window loads.
I see references to "skin.js". Is this supposed to be generated?
Secondly.
I am being really dense. I would like to use Deluxe Popup Windows in response to a mouse click on a picture. So far with deluxe Menu, I just put a statement like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="rvmonitor.js"></script>
where I wanted the menu to show up. The web page loads and the Deluxe Menu displays.
I have managed to make the onmouseover popup window appear by using that code, the web page loads and the popup loads (with the skin error).
I know how to get a larger picture from a smaller one like this:
<a href="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG">
<img class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasketmount">></a>
I just don't know how to put the rvmonitor.js into the <a href...></a> function. Could I have a simple example?
A: See, to install Deluxe Popup Window you should call two .js files onyour page:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script> //engine file
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script> //data file
...
</body>
Copy deluxe-popup-window.files folder and deluxe-popup-window.js fileinto the same folder with your html page.
To open your window on mouse click you should do the following things:
<a title="Click to open the window" href="javascript:;"onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<img class=\'border0\'src=\'../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG\' alt=\'Gasketmount\'>', 'Full Image', 'width=180,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite')"><imgmount\'>class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasket mount"></a>.
Q: I am trying out your program and it's really sweet. I have 1 little problem. I created the menu everything works in IE7. In firefox the menu is about 4 or 5 px longer. It seems like in firefox there is a border around each top level item although I have set all borders to 0 (I can see that because I have set roolover color of background to opposite of normal color)
A: Try to set exact width for the menu in "px".
For example:
var menuWidth="600px";
Q: Can you please write me, can I have the active menu button in the javascript menu generator different color display.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I have recently downloaded your menu, I love, and am definitely going to purchase it, however i do have a question, I made my site with dreamweaver mx, and it is designed in a series of tables, the main table is 3 column and on row, stretched at 100% width and length, the other tables are nested inside the middle column, I am trying to get the menu in the left column to float, I have read some of the other post in the support section, and I was wondering if their could be any <div> anywhere on the page or just before and after the menu script code?
here is the way my code is before and after the script code
<td width="17%" align="left" valign="top" background="images/LPback.png">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
this defines the column in which I want the menu to be,
here is my code for the floatable menu
//--- Positioning
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="0px";
var ttop="205px";
//--- Floatable Menu
var tfloatable=1;
var tfloatIterations=10;
var tfloatableX=1;
var tfloatableY=1;
A: You should add the following parameter:
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="data.files/";</script>
See more info about installation here:

You should also add dtree_add.js file in the "data.files/" folder.
