Q: What I would like to achieve is a separator in the main menu list of a vertical menu.
I can get the separator to show in submenus but not the main menu.
A: You should write so:
var separatorImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorWidth="90%";
var separatorHeight="3";
var separatorAlignment="center";
var separatorVImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorVWidth="90%";
var separatorVHeight="3";
var separatorPadding="0px";
Q: Can I use drop down navigation menu using subfolders? I am trying to build amenu system but the website contains a lot of subfolders.
A: Yes, you can use deluxe-menu on the site with a lot of subfolders.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I'm a registered user. I'm looking to make a space between dhtml cross browser menu buttons, I checked the FAQ which suggested using ["-"], between items but it didn't work. It deleted the dhtml cross browser menu items below it. I'm looking to put a space between
["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
and
["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical dhtml cross browser menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in Deluxe
Tuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||-"],
["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],
Q: Hi I recently bought a menu from you - which is great.
However, i have been told that search engines will find it hard to crawl through the menu and find the other parts of my site.
Is it possible for me to create my menu to make it easier for search engines to crawl through?
A: Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
< div id="dmlinks">
< a href="http://deluxe-menu.com"> menu_item_text1< /a>
< a href="http://deluxe-tree.com"> menu_item_text2< /a>
...etc.
< /div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
