Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: I purchased a menu system from you and someone else programmed it so I am left to fix it. When you go the page, their is a weird delay, is it possible for you to tell me what is wrong in the html javascript menu?
A: You're using additional features in the menu now
var keystrokes=1;
var floatable=1;
But there are no dmenu_add.js and dmenu_key.js files in the
http://www.domain.com/Hbsound.files/
folder on your server.
I advise you to upload all menu engine files.
Q: When I want to have the same width of each item I use the individuel styles sometime it works and sometime not
A: See, when you use Individual styles to set the width for your items
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=150px"],
];
you should check that you haven't set the exact width for the menu
var bmenuWidth="250px";
Please, check it.
Q: I'm looking at evaluating your Deluxe menu software for inclusion in our current web based software solution and am particularly taken with the 'Ajax style' loading.
Could you please answer a couple of questions with respect to that.
At what point does it load those file ¦ initially when menu is drawn (so multiple small hits to app server) or when the user selects the menu? Does the link href *have* to be a .js file ¦ or can it be any valid file type that returns the correct data? I have to generate the menu options dynamically from a DB and therefore really need to include a JSP style file.
Our current menu system (made up of 4 levels deep contains over 300 links, which is why I want to minimise server hit as much as possible!
A: It loads when the user move his mouse above the menu items.
You can use any extension for these files. But the file structureshould be the same as in our example.
