Q: I’m setting an after item image as follows (this code was generated by Deluxe Tuner, not by hand/text editor):
var afterItemImage=["designimgs/btn-ico.gif","designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif"];
var afterItemImageW=8;
var afterItemImageH=7;
As you can see, the after item image is not appearing in my access drop down menu – do you have any idea why that would be/how to fix?
A: You should create Individual style and assign it for the top access drop down menu items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "beforeItemImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "afterItemImage=designimgs/btn-ico.gif,designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif", "beforeItemImageW=1","afterItemImageW=8", "beforeItemImageH=1","afterItemImageH=7","itemBorderWidth=0"],
];
Q: I'm still having the issue with the sub-menus not being in the proper place, however I was able to fix the issue with menu now showing up in IE at all, it turns out I forgot a tag. So do you know why the sub-menu alignment changes depending on the browser window size? Either of the links below should give an example.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">
Q: How do I disable the menu link for the page that is currently being displayed? I don’t the menu item removed, I just want the link to be inactive and possibly a different color.
A: To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
The example you can find on our site

Q: I would like to purchase your software but not for web use. We often give out data cd's to our brokers for instance data management/finding. Your software with the custom menu system and ease of use to setup is just what I need to cut down my design time. But looking at your license agreement you require us to register it to a domain or intranet domain which this will not be on.
I am looking to create a menu system then burn it to a cd to allow people to carry it around with them. What do i register the domain as so that I am able to burn this to cd and they don't get a nag screen when with a client or briefing.
Thank you in advance
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
To use Deluxe Menu on CD/DVD you should buy developerlicense. Other licenses allow you to use the menu on Internet/Intranetwebsites only.
