Q: I am very interested in using your deluxe menu products for my new website design, particularly the Tree Menu. I've been looking at the javascript tree source and am a bit worried that the links used will not be recognised by Search Engine robots - do you have any information regarding implementation of your menus so that the links are fully visible to search engines ?
A: You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Tree is a search engine friendly menu since v2.4.
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.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I tried to create this html version and it is still not working.
I have saved all of the files in the correct places and what it gives me is just all of the links in a straight line across the top of the page.
I really think it is sitebuilder that is creating the issue with the structure of the head and body tags, but I a am a little new so I may be wrong.
A: You should delete tag from your code.
Please delete the following string from your html page.
<base href="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Yahoo%20SiteBuilder/sites/rainforestanimals/rainforestanimal/test2.html">
Q: I am testing it on my website.
I have under the submenu 'Generalites" two links "Presentation" and "Formulaires"
I would like when I click on what ever link on the expandable javascript menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background.
For exemple:
If I click on link Presentation then this link will become in a different color and also its background.
Then If I click on Formulaire the prevous link is reset and the Formulaire link appears in a differemt color and its backgroud. How should I do it ?
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a pressed
item as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
Q: How to select a different background (colour or images) in the link drop down menu?
A: Actually you can create any menu you like with Deluxe Menu.
You can use Individual Styles to set background image(color) for the items
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackColor=#FFF000,#AAAAAA","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,
deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
];
oryou can use images instead of icons (you should delete item's text).
["","", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_green.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
