Q: I have implemented a deluxe-menu on my client's website and I had a couple of questions.
1. Can I control how fast the submenus scroll in my javascript menu examples? If you look at the site and hover over Need An Expert? on the menu and then point to Practice Areas, this submenu seems to scroll slower than if you mouse over "Technology" and scroll that submenu. The Technology submenu scrolls a lot faster. Is it because there are many more items in the Technology submenu? I tried to find a setting for "scroll speed" or the like, but I couldn't find it.
2. In internet explorer, when you mouse over Need An Expert?, Technology the first time you go to the page, there is a 3-4 second delay before the submenu opens. There are a lot of submenu items under Technology, but in Firefox, there doesn't seem to be this delay. Do you know why this would happen in IE? Is there a way to fix it? Could the problem be that each submenu item has a background graphic and this is causing the delay?
3. When you get to a page on the site and you rollover the top level menu, there is also a delay before the background image of the menu items shows up. You get a solid blue background color for a second or two (the bgcolor assigned) and then the graphic loads and shows up. Is there any way around this? I have a javascript to preload the image (back.jpg) but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
A: 1. The scroll speed depends on number of items to be scrolled, more items -> faster scroll.
You can decrease the number of items or enlarge the size of submenu.
2,3. Please try to add the following param:
var dm_writeAll = 1;
It will load all backgrounds on page load, no on mouseover.
Q: We'd tried the useIFrame = 1 as well and the issue is fixed but the IE6 shows a "non secure objects over a secure connection" message, it worries me because on one side the problem is solved but on the other hand it generates confusion.
As an alternative we're planning to use the Deluxe navigation tree in order to avoid these overlapping problems, but it doesn't show up in IE7 over W2K3 R2!!
We requiere your support to use either the Deluxe Tree or the Deluxe Menu,
I'll look forward your kind answer.
A: Deluxe navigation tree works fine in IE7.
Try to set width and height parameters:
var tmenuWidth="230px";
var tmenuHeight="auto";Q: Thanks for your information, and the program is very useful and user friendly compare with others.
But I have a question, pls see the following example.
inside the menu.js (the file which we will run as navigation bar)
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif", "menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
when setup running the php file directly is no problem
however, as we have some links will have different values as the end (have problem running at the menu)
such as blog.php?ownid=4497
there is having a dynamic value at the end
at our php files we use
<a href="blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>">
Any suggestion for this case? or you can give us some example?
A: The following link should work fine in Deluxe Menu:
["Item 1","blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to move menuItems and dm_init(); function to your page inside <script>tag:
<script>
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif","menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif","menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>Q: I am interested in purchasing the developer license for Deluxe menu, but I wanted to see if I can use the trial version to accomplish what I need. You have an example of what I need on
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/ ("click here to open window"). I would like to click on a navigation menu link and have a pop up window linking to a url.
I got as far as being able to link the website in the pop up, but not exactly sure how you make a link that you can click to display the pop up.
A: Delete 'openAfter=' at all from deluxePopupWindow.attachToEventfunction:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')
In that case popup window won't show till you click on the link.
