Q: I have looked through the FAQS on your site, but can’t find a clear answer to this questions:
Can a menu submenu dhtml be triggered to an open state upon onload?
I can get the top level menu over state to show, but the drop downs won’t open.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to highlight the pressed menu submenu dhtml itemin Deluxe Menu now. You can highlight the top items only.
Q: After creating a menu using Deluxe Tuner, the exported menu.htm file, when viewed in IE, creates the “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options…”
What do I do to prevent the menu from causing this error message?
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: Is there a way to hide a javascript top menu options using either CSS or the java api based on the site user?
(I use ColdFusion for scripting)
A: Deluxe Menu supports Javascript API.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
Q: I have just bought the software and created a first menu.
As you can see the sub-menus appear away for the menu/navigation bar.
This doesnТt happen when I put the code into an .html file without any divs.
Can you suggest what the problem might be here?
A: The problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add <DIV id=nav_bar_main>
to the
style="position:absolute;"
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=nav_bar_main style="position:absolute;">
Check that.
