Q: The menu is very large and I am concerned about load speed.
Does the ajax like technology just load the top tabs and then only the sub menus if they are clicked? I have clicked true and added 5 as there are 5 submenus but it does not seem to make any difference.
What can I do to speed up the javascript onclick menu?
A: Check that you've set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=0;
Q: I have a question about tab menu java. I would like the use the version where tabMode = 1. However, I don't want a separate page loaded when a tab item is clicked. I would like it to display a <div> the same way it does when tabMode = 0. Is there a way to do this in tab menu java?
A: Download the new version from the same link in your license messageand install it.
You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')
So, you should write for example:
["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
Q: I have implemented a deluxe-menu on my client's website and I had a couple of questions.
1. Can I control how fast the submenus scroll in my javascript menu examples? If you look at the site and hover over Need An Expert? on the menu and then point to Practice Areas, this submenu seems to scroll slower than if you mouse over "Technology" and scroll that submenu. The Technology submenu scrolls a lot faster. Is it because there are many more items in the Technology submenu? I tried to find a setting for "scroll speed" or the like, but I couldn't find it.
2. In internet explorer, when you mouse over Need An Expert?, Technology the first time you go to the page, there is a 3-4 second delay before the submenu opens. There are a lot of submenu items under Technology, but in Firefox, there doesn't seem to be this delay. Do you know why this would happen in IE? Is there a way to fix it? Could the problem be that each submenu item has a background graphic and this is causing the delay?
3. When you get to a page on the site and you rollover the top level menu, there is also a delay before the background image of the menu items shows up. You get a solid blue background color for a second or two (the bgcolor assigned) and then the graphic loads and shows up. Is there any way around this? I have a javascript to preload the image (back.jpg) but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
A: 1. The scroll speed depends on number of items to be scrolled, more items -> faster scroll.
You can decrease the number of items or enlarge the size of submenu.
2,3. Please try to add the following param:
var dm_writeAll = 1;
It will load all backgrounds on page load, no on mouseover.
Q: Do you have any tips on making the drop down menus load faster? My pages seem a little slower now that I have 2 Javascript menus loading per page.
A: Check that you have the following parameter set to 0:
var dm_writeAll=0;
