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 down vertical menu items? 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?
Thanks for your help. I just love your deluxe items.
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.
Deluxe Tuner v2.4 supports Deluxe Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Deluxe Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)
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/parameters-info.html http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html 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>
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 into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Q: Is it possible, for instance, to call dm_init multiple times in the list menu java? If so, do you have an example?
A:Yes, you can call dm_init(); function multiple times (for example youcan call several data files, or move menuItems array and dm_init();function into your page directly) to have multiple menus on your page.
Q: I would like to create my own jpeg images and use them as the mouseover-items in the top level cascading menu. I am not talking about the backround. I mean the actual upfront button. I seem to be locked into the size which is the default and would like to change it to width = 180px and height = 45px for each item in the menu. Is there any way to do that?
A:You should create Individual Style and assign it for all top items.
