Q: I'm interesting in dhtml menue ability to display a different color word on a menu item when the site is on that selected page
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I'm about to put in an order for your excellent Deluxe Menu (still weighing up the options between buying a single license for now or the Multiple site one).
I noticed that the not-for-profit free license doesn't cater for Intranets.
Can you please confirm that your drop down menu code (paid license) would indeed work for Intranets though, as this is my current quest. I'm working on a company's internal site which has a lot of documents, procedures and forms for download, which is precisely why I would like to purchase your product.
Can you please confirm or shed light on this?
A: Yes, you can use the licensed copy of Deluxe Menu on Intranetwebsites.
You should register the drop down menu code for a domain name or for IP address.In other words, you should register the menu for the domain name thatyou print in a browser's search string, for example:
http://intranet/
http://klinikum-nuernberg/
http://192.168.0.1
http://localhost
But you menu won't work on a local machine, for example
j:\Stationshandbuch\start.html
with Single or Multiple licenses. On a local machine you'll see"Incorrect Key" message.
If you want to use the menu with an application that doesn't have afixed domain name you should buy Developer License.
Q: I am trying to change the Width for only one javascript popup menu item and going to the below menu individual style and changing the smwidth .
But this is not changing.
A: You should assign Individual Submenu Style for the items.
You can assign it in the "Item Parameters" window.
Select for example the first item in submenu and assign IndividualSubmenu Style.
Q: How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?
I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 ( www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start designing with your product.
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application
.You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Please, try to download trial package once again. We added alltemplates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.You should set the following parameter
var pathPrefix_img="";
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
