Q: I need to include background images for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.
Your solution refers to creating absolute paths using
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
I have implemented this solution but I still think the problem persists.
A: Now you set pathPrefix parameter:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/";
And you have such images paths, for example:
var arrowImageSub=["dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif","dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOn.gif"];
So you have such paths for arrows:
http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif
It is not right.
You should write your paths so:
var arrowImageSub=["submenuIconOff.gif","submenuIconOn.gif"];
Please, correct it.
Q: I wanted to know if there's a way to make in the javascript expand menu the submenu to appear as regular text, not a link. Is there a way to do this?
A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [

Q: What can I do to optimize the load time for dhtml rollover
and prevent reloading it from the server with every page reload.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
Q: I still do not understand your answer about the simple java menu arrows, which work in preview, but not on the website. The html is correct.
A: You have
var arrowImageMain=["ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif","ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif"];
in your data js, so the arrows must be here
http://domain/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
you arrows is here
http://domain/menu/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
You can use
var pathPrefix_img="menu/";
or change paths here
var arrowImageMain=["ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif","ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif"]; --> menu/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
