  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.

A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.

You can generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.

Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.

Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: How do I open a PDF document in a new window?  Is this in the Item Parameters window?

A: You can specify target parameter for each item
 ["|Open file","file.pdf", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", ],

If you want to use context menu you can try to write your menuItems in the following way:
 ["|<a href='file.pdf' target='_blank'>Open file</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

But you should create correct style for <a> tag.
