- Deluxe Tuner - visual interface to create and modify dhtml menus easily and in no time. - Image arrows - Search feature - add the search area in the menu and type symbols. - Status string shows item labels - AJAX menu loading - loads web menu data from the server "on-the-fly". - Items with icons - Special JavaScript API for changing javascript menu "on-the-fly" - Personal CSS styles for separate menu elements
Submenus can be shown in 4 ways: - From from left to right + upwards and also left to right. - From right to left and also from right to left + upwards (e.g. for right-to-left languages).
Use images for icons, backgrounds of submenus and items. Using images you can create menus entirely based on graphics.
Create both horizontal and vertical menus and submenus with any amount of menus on one page.
Insert any HTML code inside the menu item - be it a form or a picture, a flash-object or a text. This ability allows you to create various menus of any complexity.
Q: The only remaining problem I see is that the dhtml popup menu appears in slightly different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.
Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon? I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.
A:See dm_popup() function parameters:
return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y) menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0. pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden. event - constant. Do not change. x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place. In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position. Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12 How can I upgrade to v.2.0?
A:How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1. 1.1 For Windows users a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0 (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0 http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip). b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/OpenŠ c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor. b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the selected menu branch of the side navigation bar to stay highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window (where the menu brings up a new page),just so the user knows where he/she is. Is that possible?
A: If you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted. You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1; var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state: var tsaveState=1; var tsavePrefix="menu1";
