Recent Questions

Q: Recently one of my clients apparently upgraded from Internet Explorer 6+ to 7. Along the way now apparently the javascript is no enabled.
How do I enable javascript on the new browser, and / o is there something else that I need to do in the code?


A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load 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.

Please, try to use search engine friendly code you'll see all yourlinks.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

We released the new version today. New Deluxe Tuner supports DeluxeTree & Deluxe Tabs also.

Q: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following

Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm

When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.


A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:

  var tmenuBackImage="";
  var titemBackImage=["",""];

changed to:

  var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";

  var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];

Try to specify units in "px".
  var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

You should set this parameter:
  var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
   ["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],    ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Blade","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/blade.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Eureka","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/eureka.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||I Pity the Fool","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/ipitythefool.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

You cannot use local paths on your website.
Please, correct it. <
br>You should write for example:    ["||24","site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Battlestar Galactica","site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

Try to use also the attached engine .js files on your server.

Q: I'm interested in using Deluxe menu for our website. It appearseverything is exactly what I want, but I do have one question.
Can I pass a selection from cascading navigation bar to a form?

A: Deluxe Menus doesn't have such a feature now.

But you are able to paste any html code within items.

For example:
  var menuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'>
<input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> 
<INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;
LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","",
"images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

You should write your own code within menuItem.

Q: I have built a new drop down css menu.

I have a named frame body but when I use the menu creater it works and changes the frame but when loaded to the site it says error on page.

what have I done wrong ?

Try the home which calls home_body.htm and about us which calls About Us.html in the body frame top the right of the menu.

A: You cannot use local paths on the Internet sites. They won't work.

["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Back to main page","D:/Web Design/CCA/home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|History","D:/Web Design/CCA/About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],

You should write, for example:

["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Back to main page","home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|History","About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
