Q: Will all your dhtml menu samples work cross-frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.htmlQ: I am unable to see any separators when working with Deluxe Menu. I’ve looked at other templates and don’t see where they are implemented. Am I missing something? Thanks!
A: Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif";
var separatorVWidth="3";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Try that.
Q: I am becoming more frustrated by the moment. I try to add more menu items, the default icons (images) disappear and I can't figure out how to get them back.
Is this a bug in your software or am I simply doing something wrong? Every time this happens, I have to start over and end up with the same results - lost or missing icons.
A: That's mean that you don't use Individual Item Styles for the newitems.
Please, see how you should use Individual Styles for the items similar the one which you're going tocreate and see it parameters.
You should use the same parameters for the new item.
Try that.
Q: I have a Deluxe Tree Menu working on a website. What I want is that the javascript dhtml tree remembers which item was open when there is a click on an item.
I found on your website that this is possible with: var tsaveState = 1;
But when I want to use this option I need to include dtree_ss.js in the html page. I can not find this file in the zip file I downloaded.
Can you help me with this file or tell me where I can find it?
A: See dtree_ss.js file was in the first versions of Deluxe Tree. We don't have such filenow. We haven't updated info on your website on the following page yet
http://deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html
You should use dtree.js file only.
