  • These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.

Q: I am evaluating De Luxe menu. We perhaps like to become OEM distributor.

But I have a question.
In a website i would like to align 3 menu items to the left of the page and the other items to the right.
The 3 items to the left have a different style. But all have a fixed width.

I tried to define a spacer between the items but this didn't work out.

<script type="text/javascript"
src="/webos_net/dmenu/data.js"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
  var menuItems = [
["Website","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=website",,,"","_top","0"],
["MyNorma","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=mynorma",,,"","_top","0"],
["BackOffice","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=portal",,,"","_top","1"],
["          ","/webos_net/default2.aspx",,,"spacer","","2"],
["Zoek","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Stamgegevens","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Repartitie","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Beheer","",,,"",'main','3'],
]
dm_init();

I also defined itemstyles:

  var itemStyles = [
//hoofdmenu
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444"],
//hoofdmenu selected
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444","itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
//spacer
["itemWidth=100%"],
//default menu
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];

Can you provide a java menu samples which shows left and right alignment of menu items is possible?

A: Unfortunately it is not correctly to write
["itemWidth=100%"],
in Individual Styles. It won't work. You can set the exact width forthis space, for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg,/images/topmenu1bg.jpg", "fontColor=#444444,#444444","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444", "itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
["itemWidth=220px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "itemBorderStyle=none,","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
];

  var menuItems = [

Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.

A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.

You can generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.

Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.

Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: I have a website where the customer asks (requested popup) for a onclick popup window so they can listen in to a radio braodcast. i.e. popup on demand.

But, the popup needs to keep working so the user can move to another website without dropping the broadcast. In otherwords If the popup is dropped so is the broadcast. That is my issues. Help! Also, using a standard popup windows doesn't always work Cross browsers and IE works ok but Firefox still allows the user to resize the windows even if you tell it not to.

A: No, it is not possible to leave the onclick popup window after you close thepage with popup.

Q: I have the mouseover menu working fine but want the chosen option to display in a tab under the menu.

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't have API functions to set pressed item on-the-fly. You can set presseditem on the page loading only.

But you can use onClick event for the Deluxe Menu items and call the following function toopen appropriate tab:

dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);

where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.

["<div onClick='dtabs_itemClick(0,2)'>Open 3rd tab</div>","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
