Q: I contact you because this morning we have bought a single license of your deluxe tree menu for our web site www.roderstore.com All features of tree menu work good when I try it on local computer.
When I send the files on web site there is the problem that we must work on different directory : the script must be saved in a directory and the html page with menu inside is installed in another directory.
We can't save the script inside the directory of html pages because there are a lot of pages that call the tree menu, in different levels of path.
In the header of html page I have write the absolute path of script ( http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/ ) and I have called the source of script with all absolute path.
The problem is that the tree javascript moving menu is visible, the function are OK ( expand and collapse are OK ) but the tree don't have the images !
I presume that the problem is the different directory of script and html page ?
What can we do ?
A: You can try to use absolute path to your images. To do it you shouldset the following javascript moving menu parameter:
var tpathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/";
You can also send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: Earlier today I bought your Deluxe Tabbed Menu software. I "nearly" have the menu I want working, but my problem is that the sub menus I have created in my java script tabs disappear very quickly after being clicked. I want these sub-menus to stay when.
The website that I have developed the menu for can be seen at www.domain.ie/index.php I have sub menus created for the About, Courses & Contact Us items, but as mentioned these disappear very quickly.
FYI, I call the data.js menu file from an include file in the webpages. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem.
A: That is happen because you have links for the top items with subitems:
About Us
Courses
Contact Us
Actually it is not correctly to use links for items with subitems. Youshould use these items to open subitems only.
But if you want to use links for them you should set the correctpressed item for this page, for example for
http://www.domain.ie/about.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=2;
http://www.domain.ie/courses.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=6;
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: How do I make the top nav buttons exactly the same width for each button?
Total menu width is 743px and I have 6 buttons I want the width of each button to be fixed at 123px.
I set var menuWidth="743" but it averages out the buttons based on the text.
A: You should use individual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=123px"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style 0
Q: I downloaded "DeLuxe Menu" and try to make a menu dynamic. I was having the impression, that every item could have it's own color. But nowhere in de program could I find how this had to be done. Every time I changed the color, weather it was under Appearance or Item Appearance, the color of the whole menu was changed.
Before I decide to buy your product, I need to know if separate coloring for the menu dynamic is possible.
A: You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE","showByClick=0"],//style1
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
];
