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: Can your free dhtml menu have boarderes around the sub-menus only..
A: You should create Individual style and assign it to the first item in each submenu.
var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderStyle=solid","menuBorderColor=#813A07"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "border-example.files/icon1.gif", "border-example.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "border-example.files/icon2.gif", "border-example.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: We need to have the current Tuner running on our Mac to create rollover menus
A: We have MAC version of Deluxe Tuner (html version).
You should download free trial version on MAC.
So, you'll have MAC version of Deluxe Menus.
And use the licensed engine files from the licensed .zip
(you candownload it from the link in your license message).
Unfortunately we don't have html version of the Tuner for Deluxe Treeand Deluxe Tabs now.
We'll try to create it in the nearest future.
You can find all templates for Deluxe Tree, Deluxe Tabs, Popup Window, Calendar in thetrial package.
