Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
Q: I just purchased the Deluxe PopUp Window application in order to implement some pop up window on my web site the way I need them to work.
Infact, after taking a look at your application it doesn't seem (maybe I'm wrong) it can be used the way I need to.
To cut a long story short: I need the PopUP window onclick to show images and not texts pening up them by clicking on a text-link.
Images are many so, if I not wrong I must create lots of windows each one for each single image.
So, my questions are:
1) Can I use you pop up to show images only?
2) Can I activate them by clicking on the related links.
Generally, in order to do so, I have a single js script that activate the window onclick. To load a Popup window I need to click on a link by opening an HTML page containing the image.
To let it all work I need a <script> function in the <head> </head> tags and an onclick command calling the PopUp script activated when I click on the related link.
So, does your script work the same way. Can you confirm me that I can use your application just the same way as I have always done with a simple .js script + an .htm page containing an image?
I hope I was clear.
A: You can call only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open your windows:
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('window1', '<img src=\'img/DSCN3699.jpg\'>',
'Window1','width=100,height=100,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect',
'simple')">Click Here to see a chase1 sample</a>

http://deluxepopupwindow.com/samples.htmlQ: The cascading javascript menu does not spans frames or windows like Applets. Is that correct?
I was not able to make the sample to do it.
A: The DHTML Menu and Java Menu are built on different technologies.Java menus can create submenus that cover frames as a standard Windowssubmenus. DHTML Menu can't do that, because it's controls is htmlobjects, they can't overlap Windows controls. So, cascading javascript menu hascross-frame ability that allows it to show submenus in differentframes. But it can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!

Q: Sometime the first tab in css tab menu stay selected etc..
A: You should check the following parameter
var bselectedItem=1;
This parameter sets the selected tab.
You can set it
var bselectedItem=-2;
