Q: The dhtml css drop down menu hides under the flash videos an the flash header in firefox, it works alright in IE and I hae been on your FAQs an followed the transparent code to add to the flash to make the menu appear and adding the code to the data file but it still doesnt work. Could you look at the source code of the site and show me an example of how it would work and what edits I need to make as it’s very frustrating that I cant launch the site without this.
A: See how you should install the menu with flash for Firefox here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html
You should set "opaque" parameter for your flash, set the followingparameter
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
and add
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
in the beginning of your dhtml css drop down menu data file.
Q: I am evaluating your product and would like to display my top menu without a border, but have the dropdown (child menus) all have a border and shadow.
If I change the menuBorderWidth to anything but 0, I get a menu on both the top menus and dropdowns. I need a topBorderWidth and a childBorderWidth.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
A: Yes, you can do it.
Please, set:
var menuBorderWidth=0;
To set border for submenus you should use Individual Submenu styles, for example:
var menuStyles = [
     ["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderColor=#9A9CA7"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
     ["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , , , ],
     ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
         ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ], //style 0
     ["Samples","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
         ["|Sample 1","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , , "0", , ], //style 0
         ["|Sample 2 is Disabled","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , "_", , "-1", , ],
...
You should assign style for the first item in the submenu.
Q: We are wanting to make this collapsible menu Dynamic by reading from a Microsoft SQL Data base.What is the approach in accomplishing this?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.html
This example is not for Deluxe Tree menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.
Q: It actually does work - I got it to work, however some functions like transparency is not working, trial version pop up disappeared and transition when the submenu item comes down is not working - it simply pops the menu down.
A: Please, notice that transitional effects don't work in Firefox.
Effects work in IE only. You can find this info here:
