Q: We had a strange problem with the menus when the sub menus are over applet in https: the applet disappeared.
After doing some Investigation in your code we noticed that you are using in HTTPS mode div instead of Iframe.
We would be happy if you can tell us why you are using div in this mode and if we will use http mode will it cause something that can affect the menus
A: Iframes don't work on https:// websites. You'll get warning message. That's why we're using <div> tag.If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object the latterwill be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
If you use Deluxe Menu on https:// website, submenus won't drop downover select boxes within iframe objects. It works fine on a non-secureservers only.
Q: I'm looking at evaluating your Deluxe menu software for inclusion in our current web based software solution and am particularly taken with the 'Ajax style' loading.
Could you please answer a couple of questions with respect to that.
At what point does it load those file ¦ initially when menu is drawn (so multiple small hits to app server) or when the user selects the menu? Does the link href *have* to be a .js file ¦ or can it be any valid file type that returns the correct data? I have to generate the menu options dynamically from a DB and therefore really need to include a JSP style file.
Our current menu system (made up of 4 levels deep contains over 300 links, which is why I want to minimise server hit as much as possible!
A: It loads when the user move his mouse above the menu items.
You can use any extension for these files. But the file structureshould be the same as in our example.
Q: I have a question regarding your java dropdown menu. I am evaluating them in order to assess their functionality.
My menu will often have many items, say 100 or so. I would like them to display horizontally, like a grid so they are all visible on one page. Also, they should run alphabetically down each column, then to the next column like a telephone book, not across.
Is this possible with your java dropdown menu?
A: Yes, it's possible, please see an example:

Q: I'm experimenting with the purchased Treemenu. Looks very nice!
A question: When I set the menu width to 200px and the text of the item exceeds this width, text is not wrapped resulting in some strange display. How can I wrap the text in the java menu tree?
I can not simply use extra <br> tags because the data of the items are dynamic (php + MySQL).
A: You should set the following parameter
var tnoWrap=0;
Try that.
