Q: How can I use Danish characters in my menu using javascript? In normal html you would use something like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
What should I do in Deluxe Menu?
A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, youshould set UTF-8 encode on your page too
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I installed licensed files, entered the key and now the menu appears broken.
You will see under the "Contact Us" image there is a gray line that makes it look broken. I am using IE 6.0.
The line doesn't appear in Firefox. What solution is there to this?
A: The line which you can see on your website is a shadow. You can see it only in IE.
Please see menu parameters, they contains:
var shadowLen=3;
Try to write so:
var shadowLen=0;
var shadowColor="#777777";
var shadowTop=1;
Q: The menu doesn't show the drop down sub items. If you would look at the script there are two sublinks for Accommodation which however is not visible when we are doing a mouseover. I have attached the revised data.js file with this mail. Please let me know if thre is anything else hat i need to look into.
A: You should set back color for your submenus.
For example you should create style and assign it for the subitems:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#61420A,#B77D13","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid",,
"itemBorderColor=#3C2906,#3C2906"],//style0
];
["Accommodation","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|test1 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style0
["|test2 text text text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],//style0
You should also set the following parameters:
var itemAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
Q: I am putting your deluxe menu on our pages but if I do not put the menu on top, then it the sub menus appear on opposite direction (from bottom to top.) So instead of dropping down, they drop up.
We do not want this to happen. Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue?
Mouseover menu submenu drops up unless you scroll down or put the menu on top.
A: See if your submenu has a big height and there is no enough room under the menu to showthe whole submenu the submenu will be shown above the menu (if there is enough space toshow the whole submenu).
You can set exact height for the submenus, so they will go in the place under the menu.
