Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Microsoft Expression Web/Dreamweaver/Frontpage and others webdesign programs extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

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: Can you please write me, can I have the active menu button in the javascript menu generator different color display.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
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, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<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: I was wondering if you could help me. I have recently done a site and put a menu into the site
The basic javascript menu is on the top of the screen but it has lines through each of the menus just after the words and before the arrow on each of them. I have stretched the menu out to cover the whole of the top of the page but i need to get these lines out of the menu.
Can you please help me with this problem?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
