Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.
What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?
I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html
And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.
A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.
If you have, for example such file structure:
deluxe-menu_files/
dmenu.js
data.js
images/
html_pages/
page1.html
page2.html
index.html
So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],
Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.
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: We're working on new website and including your html menu systems.
Here's what we're trying to do and it keeps giving us an error (using MS Frontpage for development):
1) We have created a single leftnav menu that will appear on all of the pages of our website.
2) We've created an html page called leftnav.htm that is only this menu. It works just fine when we preview within Frontpage. The leftnav.htm and all the menu .js files are in a unique folder within the site.
3) We then have a template page that is the base template for many of the pages on our website. There is a layout table in this template into which we do an Includepage to bring in the leftnav.htm. When we try to preview this page with the menu included, we get a script error that says "Object expected" on line #155 (the .js file only has 154 lines of code).
We're stuck. Is there a problem with how we're trying to implement the html menu systems?
A: It is possible that you'll have an error in the Frontpage's preview.
Try to open your page in browser. If you'll have the same error,please send send us a copy of your html pages (including .js files) and we will check it.

in the data.js file
but it didn't change it;

I opened the dmenu_add.js file, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it?

I went to your sample page and I would like to add the item widths into mydata.js file, but each item is a different width. Would it be correct for meto do this?...
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"],
];
Or will I have to make all the main menu items/graphics the same width?
A: You don't have to change your dmenu_add.js file.
Please, place this file in the folder where your menu iscreated in.
Yes, you can set itemWidth for each main item.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.
You should write, for example, so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [
["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],
["","", "data.files/demoCenter.gif", "data.files/demoCenter_mo.gif", , ,"1", , , ],
["","", "data.files/resources.gif", "data.files/resources_mo.gif", , ,"2", , , ],
["","support.htm", "data.files/support.gif", "data.files/support_mo.gif", , "_self","4", , , ],
["","", "data.files/company.gif", "data.files/company_mo.gif", , , , , , ],];
