Q: I am just starting to work with deluxe menu for a site that I am developing. I will soon be going through the purchase of a license but have not yet reached that point.
At the moment though, as I build the framework for the site locally on my computer, I notice that the menu behave a looks differently in IE 6 and Firefox (I am focusing on a CSS base menu). Is this something that will be worked out once I have purchased the licensing key or is there something else that I am missing?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
  var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
  var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
  var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";

You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.


Q: Thanks, we tried giving   var pressedItem=0; and the script as below:

<script type="text/javascript">
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0);
}
</script>

We are facing 2 problems

1) Two menus are getting highlighted, the "Home" and the dynamic html menu which is called onLoad using dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0); function)

2) The submenu of the dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0) is not getting highlighted.

A: Try to set
  var pressedItem=-2;

dm_ext_setPressedItem function has a following parameters:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)

So, if you want to highlight item in the submenu you should use itemInd of this item (notitemInd of the parent item).

For example you want to highlight submenu item of the 'Manage Users' parent item with
itemInd=15.
You can find more info about dynamic html menu indexes here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind

So you should write the function in the following way:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (0, 3, 15, 1, 1)

menuInd = 0 if you have only one menu on the page
submenuInd = 3, see how to determine submenuInd in the table

http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
itemInd = 15, see how to determine itemInd in the table

http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
recursion = 1, to highlight parent items
parentOpen = 1, to open the submenu with the selected item.


Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.


A: How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.

Step 1.
    1.1 For Windows users
      a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
      (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
      http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
      b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
      c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

    1.2 For other OS users
      a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
      b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

        var keystrokes = 0;
        var dm_focus = 1;
        var dm_actKey = 113;

        var dynamic = 0;
        var smHideOnClick = 1;
        var itemAlignTop = 'left';
        var smSmartScroll = 1;

        var dmAJAX = 0;
        var dmAJAXCount = 30;
        var dmRTL = 0;
        var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
        var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
        var menuHeight = "";
        var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

      c. Save the file.

Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.

Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:



Step 4. Save HTML-page.

They are:

      - dmenu_dyn.js
      - dmenu_key.js
