Recent Questions

Q: Thanks for getting back with me but how do you build the menu?

I opened Deluxe Tuner program to build a menu and there are categories titled common, dimensions, font, appearance etc. and I have NO IDEA what to do?

Can you walk me through the development of a menu?


A: First of all you should add items.
Please, click "Add item" and "Add subitem".
In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items. You can also assign different style for each menuitem (item style and submenu style).
But at first you should create this style. Click "Edit IndividualStyle/Add Style" and set different parameters for the style.

Try to set different parameters of the menu.
In the "Preview window" you can see all your changes.

First of all you should choose menu orientation:
  var isHorizontal = 1; Menu orientation: 0 - vertical, 1 - horizontal.

You can set exact width and height of the menu in the "Dimension"category.

You should set
  var absolutePos=1;
if you want to have absolute positioning menu.

Font style you can set in the "Font" category.

To set color of the menu you should set the following parameters:
  var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
  var menuBorderColor="#C0AF62";
  var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#FCEEB0","#4C99AB"];

Try also to change these parameters:
  var itemSpacing=3;
  var itemPadding="3px";

Arrows for main items and subitems you can set here:
  var arrowImageMain=["default.files/arrowmain.gif","default.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["default.files/arrowsub.gif","default.files/arrowsubo.gif"];

If want to have floatable or movable menu you should set the followingparameters:
  var floatable=0;

  var movable=0;

You can also try to change any template.


Q: Both arrow types are visible when my intranet first loads and when I select a top item that is a direct link to a page.
But, as soon as I select any item from a list of sub items that includes subitems with arrows,
the arrow images disappear from vertical menu until I refresh the site.

A: 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: Navigation bar code should indicate with on which page I me just considers..
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
but you can highlight menu items in two ways:

Try to do the following things:


- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file,

for example:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"<>/script<
>script type="text/javascript"<  var pressedItem=3;>/script<
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also 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: Is it possible to not download (pre-load) the images in the javascript menu array (some attributes in the data.js file ..)?

I would like to download them only on rollover on the submenu... I am aware of the ajax version of the menu, but ....

A: Set the following parameter:
  var dm_writeAll=0;

You can also use AJAX feature, see more info here:
