Q: I ran across your site on a search engine and downloaded the trial copy. I am playing around with it and have successfully generated a menu bar which I wanted to try and test out. I have followed the directions for installing it on my trial page of my website and can not get it to work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong . I would truly love to buy this, but even with following the installation instructions, I can not get free javascript drop down menu to work. I use Dreamweaver to build my site.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension and wedon't have plug-ins for it. To install the menu into your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "menu". So you'llhave menu.html, menu.js files and "menu.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in Dreamweaver
3. Copy generated menu.js file and "menu.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">free javascript drop down menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

That's all.Q: We are using your menu in a website here under development:
There is a problem with mac browsers - safari and firefox. The flash stops and goes blank when the html menu dropsdown.
We have tried numerous fixed including the one outlined on your website here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html Here is the link to our html menu file link/file to the menus: -> http://domain.org.au/js/menu
Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
A: Now you hide your flash on MAC using the following function:
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
Try to delete this function, try to set the following parameter also:
var dmObjectsCheck = 0;Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.
However, I can only choose one item in each menu.
Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?
Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.
Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);
Q: How do I set just one sub menu link to open in a new window for the css dhtml menu
when the rest is set to _self ?
A: You can set item's target for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif",
"", "Home Page Tip", "_blank", "", "", "", ],
