Recent Questions

Q: I created a custom error page for a site, but the menu would not display.

I found that this was due to the erroneous "current directory" in the bad link test, for a non-existent directory.

which is: level2/level3/

I changed the script code from:
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>

to:

<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>

adding the "/" before "DMworkfiles/dmenu.js" source reference allowed the .js file to be found in the root directory and the menu would display.

The problem is that the little menu "expansion" arrow .gif cannot be found in the "current working directory" of level2/level3/. just little "blanks" show.

I tried changing:
  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";

to:
  var dmWorkPath = "/DMworkfiles/";

but that did not enable the display of the arrows.

I also had to prefix all of the links in the menu with a "/" to indicate the root directory because of the "current directory" for the bad page.

I hope I have explained the problem sufficiently.
What am I doing wrong or missing here?


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  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
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters


Q: http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-5.html

I like the transitional fade of onclick tab data between tabs of this menu, but I don't see anything in Transitional Effect variables to manipulate this.

A: You can set transitional effects in the "Transitional Effects"section in Deluxe Tuner.

//--- Transitional Effects
  var btransition=24;
  var btransOptions="";
  var btransDuration=300;

Notice that Transitional Effects are supported by IE5.5+ only.

Q: I have images that I want to use for the top level of the menu. How do I create a menu using images that were created in a different program? I tried to look in the frequently asked questions but IcouldnТt find anything that told me how. Thank you in advance for your help.


A: You can use any image for the top items.

You can set
  var itemBackImage=["",""];
Or, create Individual style

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];

The new method of making image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.

For example:

["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]


Q: Now I wonder what I have to do in my script to make dhtml sub menu be displayed horizontal instead of vertical. I want them to display vertical be left - aligned and be shown by a white Background. How can I achieve this?


A: You should set the following parameters:

  var smColumns=0;
  var smOrientation=1; //horizontal orientation of submenus

set white backcolor for submenus
["itemWidth=60px","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderWidth=0","itemBorderStyle=none,",
"itemBorderColor=#FFFFFF,", "fontColor=#404040,#404040","fontDecoration=none,underline"],
