Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
Q: Option to make the background in a pop up dhtml item fully transparent so that the page below it is fully visible. Is this possible now?
A: Yes, it is possible now.
You can set the following pop up dhtml parameter:
var menuBackColor="transparent";
Q: I am curious why there are no font settings for "Individual Styles" for"Submenu styles".
Basically I want to have a different font and color for my submenu items so they appear differently than the normal primary Items - but it seems there is only two options for fonts:
- The global font parameters affecting all fonts (primary and sub).
- And the Individial Styles for primary Item Styles.
Why no font paramenters for Submenu Items?
A: You can assign Item Style for the submenu item too.
See the example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=normal 13px Comic Sans MS"], //item style 0
];
var menuStyles = [
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
Q: Two more questions, while waiting for this answer:
1) calendarDatePicker.handlers( ['dtEvent', 'dtEvent', {type : 'datetime', format:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}] ); is ignoring the date format.
2) If I have a button that in an onclick I want to popup calendar, how would I do that?
3) I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
Thank you, I have people waiting for me to bring this site live - your fast help is appreciated
A: >I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
You should write NOSCRIPT tag in the following way:
<noscript><a href="http://calendardatepicker.com">Javascript Calendar Date Picker by calendardatepicker.com</a></noscript>

You should install the calendar in the following way:
<form>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
calendarDatePicker.handlers(['cal', 'txt', {type : 'datetime', IiI:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}]);
};
</script>
<input type="button" value="Click to open calendar" id="cal" name="cal" onClick="">
<input type="text" id="txt" value="">
<div id="test-box" style="width:40px;height:40px;position:absolute;left:200px;top:10px;"></div>
</form>
