Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="1";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: I downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner and love the menus it makes. I'm havinga major problem centering the expandable menu in a table. I'm using FrontPage 2002 but added thescript into the page via notepad. No matter what I try, the expandable menu stays on the left ofthe table. Do you have any suggestions? I'm sure you must have a list of problemsassociated with FrontPage. Can you please help me?
A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the followingparameter and install the menu in the following way:
var absolutePos=0;
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/dmenu.js"></script>
</div>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript"
src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
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: I recently downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Menu-Deluxe Tree and Deluxe Tabs. I am very, very pleased with your product!! I wish to purchase Deluxe Menu & Tree & Tabs & Popup Window & Calendar Single Website License Product # 300094393.
However, before I do, I have a few questions first.
Question #1
I created a DeluxeTree Menu that is very large due to the amount of pages in my website and tested it on my website. It works fine. Of course I have created and saved a .js file and still have to add much more submenus to it. When I purchase the full version of javascript context menu will and begin to modify this .js file that I created will the "Trail Version" logo disappear? I hope so because it would be quite a task to have to re-create this file.
Question #2
I also created a Deluxe Menu in a cross frame structure and placed the menu in the top frame. When I tested it and click on the menu button, the submenus drop down but do not appear in the frame below. They remain in the top frame forcing me to resize the top frame to see the submenus. When I viewed the example on your website for the cross frame structure, the examples show the submenus overlapping and appearing on the frame below the top frame. How do I fix this?
Thank you for time, looking forward to purchasing your product.
A: 1) There is no need to create your javascript context menu after the purchase.
You'll use new engine files only.
The purchased version of Deluxe Menus doesn't have nag messages.
You'll see "Incorrect Key" message on a local machine but you won't see it on a registered domain.
2) You should install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:
