Q: We are registered user of Deluxe-Menu. We find following query while usingDeluxe-Menu. We are not able to display correctly <Direction Générale> inFrench in down-navigation-menu.
A: You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.3.
You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.
In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.
Enter these symbols and save your data file.
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent
ç - Small c, cedilla
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["ç....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
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: What command that I use the HTML code that will be showing in the html javascript popup to close window?
A: Try to use the following functions to show and hide popup window:
deluxePopupWindow.open()
hide()
For example you should write:
["","javascript:deluxePopupWindow.make('window', 'http://google.com/', '#1: Google Web site', 'width=590,height=350,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,centerscreen,move-effect=top,,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'default')","icon.gif"]
["","javascript:document.getElementById('window').hide();","icon.gif"]
Notice also that you should move the following code from your data file on your html page directly inside SCRIPT tags:
<script type="text/javascript">
menuItems[
[...]
];
dm_init();
</script>

http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.htmlQ: When I load a page with dhtml menu sample, lets say contact, the first tab is always highlighted, not the contact tab
A: I suppose that you've set the following parameter:
var bselectedItem=1;
So, the first tab is always highlighted.
This Tab menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem, var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-sidescript (php, asp, etc.)
You should delete this parameter from your data file and write thefollowing code on each page before you call your data file, for example:
<script language="JavaScript1.2>
var bselectedItem = 3;
</script>
