Recent Questions

Q: I am trying to create a multicolumn dhtml navigation menu and nothing appears when I upload it to my server. I am attaching my menu called menu.js that I have created and placed in a folder called menudir.

Can you please advise, thank you.

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml navigation menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.


Q: Could you please advise how to stop drop down menu horizontal going under a swf in Firefox.

A: To overlap your flash file you should add opaque parametersto your flash, for example:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"width="566" height="250" title="Intro">
<param name="movie" value="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="566" height="250">
</embed>
</object>

Q: We recently purchased your full package, and I have a couple of questions regarding deluxe-menu in particular.

1) I'd like to change what's in the noscript area to something other than an ad for you in the event my user has JavaScript disabled. I can understand the copyright remaining intact, however I don't believe I should have to display this to my users in the noscript.

2) I'm using this inside our firewall on a VPN intranet application. Am I going to have issues with the key if the site has multiple host headers and domains attached to it?


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

1) If you delete noscript tag from your pages you'll see "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE.
You can generate search engine friendly code. When JavaScript isdisabled you will see the links.
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.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

2) Deluxe Menus support multiple keys in one data file,so you can apply the following syntax to use the same html codeunder multiple domains:

  var key ="THE_FIRST_KEY"; //sandvine.com
  var key1="THE_SECOND_KEY"; //salestools
...


Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.

#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?


A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
  var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
      ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

  var itemStyles = [
     ["itemWidth=120px"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
     ["smWidth=120px"],
];

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
      ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
      ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;
