Q: I’m interested in buying your products.
I have no experience in programming, only know html/php.
How easy would it be to set up these mouseover menus?
I understand your explanation of copying scripts into the relevant html pages.
But what about inserting the menus? Do I have to program them myself?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Menu ) you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
(you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package
"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")

http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems:

http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
</td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files:
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder.
You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.
Here is my code:
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowWidthSub=0;
var arrowHeightSub=0;
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?
A: You should check the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";
Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.
For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html
In menu.js file you should write:
var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];Q: Cross-frame mode/ showByClick=1: I only want this to work on the main level javascript menu bar, not the submenus. Is there anyway to showbyclick only for the main level and then not for the submenus?
A: You can use Individual Item Styles to set showByClick parameter forthe top items only.
var itemStyles = [
["showByClick=1"],
];
Q: The menu files need to be in EVERY directory that there is a page calling these files?
A: No you can use one folder with engine .js files.
But in your html pages you should write correctly your dmWorkPathparameter:
< script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "./menudir/";</script>
and call dmenu.js file from the right place
<script type="text/javascript" src="./menudir/dmenu.js"> </script>
