Q: I wonder if you can help me. I've uploaded all my files, including the menus to the client site.
All the menus were working fine, where each link was targeted to the frame "mainFrame" in the middle of the page. This morning, all the css javascript menu link targets don't work anymore. That is, the targeting info has not changed but the linked pages are opening up as a _parent page -- that is, replacing the entire page.
A: You should use absolute paths.
See the url browser tried to open:
http://domain.com/a_bp/bpdoc/3sell/32_sales_order_management/321_sales_order/
7operations/72_monitor_operations/index.html
instead of:
http://domain.com/7operations/72_monitor_operations/index.html
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameter allows to make links paths absolute.
For example:
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
Please, try to use this parameter.
Q: Is it possible to change from a default target setting for all links to _self target for onsite links and _blank target for offsite links?
A: You can set target parameter for each item.
See menuItems parameter:
var menuItems =
[
["Home","testlink.html","icon.gif","iconover.gif","Home Tip",target,"1"],
["|Our Products","testlink.html","icon1.gif","icon2.gif","Our Products Tip","_blank",,"0"],
];
Q: I have a problem...
On some computers running IE the menu appears and works correctly, on others it doesn't appear.
There is only a line that says JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com.
Both of these computers have the same version of IE running. I have reset the security levels back to default levels on both. Still the menu doesn't appear.
For all practical purposes both copies of IE are the same.
A: You should change your security settings in IE to allow Javascript onpages you load. In other case you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can also use Deluxe Tuner application that allows you to generate additional html code for search engine that can't parse Javascript. So, you can use menu links on browsers that doesn't have Javascript support enabled.
Q: We use the state saving feature of your menu on our site. I wanted to know if this implements cookies at all, or how it interacts with visitors to the site. This is only so we can have an accurate privacy policy.
A: Deluxe Tree saves it's state using cookies.
