Q: Does this product work to make drop down menu in Frontpage 2003?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage 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:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Notice that in the Design mode your drop down menu may displayincorrectly. It is normal. You should view your page in browser preview.
Q: I have a Menu called topnavbar.js when this menu is applied to a page not in a subfolder the links work. This topnavbar menu includes the following items; District Office, Cumberland Head Elementary School, Beekmantown Elementary School, Beekmantown Middle School, and Beekmantown High School.
However, if you put the topnavbar on a page that is located in a subfolder the links in the topnavbar add this subfolder name to the link. So instead of districtoffice.htm the link is transportation/districtoffice.htm and that page doesn’t exist.
A: 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: Now it works fine in Firefox and mostly in IE.... Only problem... In IE...
When the page with dhtml tab menu first loads ... It does not load the content of the first DIV....
It's fine in Firefox...now IE just does not load the first div... I've tried added a JS function to set to visible the first DIV onLoad...but that does not work either...
Is there anyway to hard-code in ...to set the first DIV to visible?
A: I've just checked your website. Your dhtml tab menu work correctly.
You should check that you use correct value of
var bselectedItem=1;
parameter.
That is mean that second item in menuItems array will be highlighted.
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //0
["About","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //1
["FAQs","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //2
["Before & Afters","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //3
["Pre/Post Care","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //4
["Special Offers","javascript:location.href = '../specials/index.htm'", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //5
Now you have also:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>
<td align=center valign=top>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/templates/tabs-opera.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
I think that it is not correct. You should write:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>
<td align=center valign=top>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
Q: I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript menu, an item that was selected.
So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu
and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe 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.
