Q: I do have issues. There are not the problems when you are on the home page (you can click on one of the dropdown submenus and go there.
However, when you try to go to another page from there to another page on a nother drop down, nothing happens except javascript erros. The dropdowns physical work, in that they drop down, but the links don't go anywhere. Does that make sense.
A: See, the problem was in your dmWorkPath parameter
On all pages placed in the subfolder you should write it in thefollowing way:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../ifnav.files/";</script>
Please, correct it.
You should also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";
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
Please, use pathPrefix_link parameter.
Q: My menu font is white. Is there a way to set the preview screen background color to something else than white?
Cause this is a problem as the main menu bar does not have a background color ( I want the background image of the page to shine through).
A: Yes, you can do it. Please open in any text editor the following file:
"C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menu\deluxe-tuner\data\deluxe-menu\preview.html"
You should set bgcolor parameter, for example:
bgcolor=#000000
Q: I ordered & installed the dhtml collapsable menu.
I can't seem to get the floating function to work. Here's how I have the variables set in the data-tree.js file:
var tfloatable = 1;
var tfloatIterations = 10;
var tfloatableX = 0;
var tfloatableY = 1;
And here are the links to the .js files in my HTML doc <head>:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">JavaScript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a> </noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="tree-menu/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tree-menu/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tree-menu/dtree_add.js"></script>

A: Notice, your dhtml collapsable menu won't float with relative position. You shouldset:
var tabsolute=1;
Q: I would like to separate each main js dropdown menu item (Find an Expert, Contact...etc) with a dotted line graphic. If you look at the js dropdown menu, you will see that each graphic is separated by a dotted line. I am trying to replicate that look in the Deluxe Menu. Is there a way I can do that? I tried to use the "separatorImage" value in the DeluxeTuner, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to put a dotted border just along the bottom of them item, instead of around the whole item (like a box)? Or is there a way to insert the graphic between the items?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
