Recent Questions

Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.

Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.


A: Try to specify exact value for menu width.

For example:
  var menuWidth="800px";

It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.


Q: Can I just ask what the maximum KB size should be for a Data.js file for a webpage?

At the moment Vehicle_data_2.js is 24.7KB and growing as I add more data, what would you recommend as the largest size to sensibly use?


A: 24.7KB is the normal size of the file. But if you think that it isvery large you can try to use AJAX-technology to divide this file.

Q: Is there any way to keep a menu lit up when going to another page? Or do the menus always have to default back to their normal state?
I want the menu to know what page the user is on and keep that section highlighted. Any ideas?


A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.


Q: Can a menu item that expands the submenu items when selected also work as a link?

A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.

But you can write:

["<a href='index.html' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home'>About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
 ["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}

But in that case the submenu and link open when you press "About Us" item. I think that it is not verygood behaviour. You can also try to specify target parameter

["<a href='index.html' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="_blank">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
 ["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
