Q: We really like your deluxe menu product and are interested in making a multiple website license purchase.
In our current production environment, we build sites on a local machine (no domain) and move the files/sites to multiple servers depending on where the domain is being hosted.
Do we have to reconfigure the domain key each time we move deluxe menu related site files from the actual domain server to our local production environment and back again?
A: Notice your key will work on registered domain only. It won't work onlocal machine.
If you want to use the menu on the local production environment youshould buy Developer License.
The Developer license you can use the menu on an unlimited number of Internet or Intranet sites and on the local machines.
This version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to adomain name.
Q: Now, one more little question -
in a Tree menu, I know how to make a menu expand by default and expand only on a mouse click.
However, I believe there is a way to make a menu item expand on a "mouse over" without a click.
How can this be done?
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to expand the tree menu onmouseover now. It is possible that we'll add this feature in the nextversion.
Q: But given the sample on
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
we want to delete menuentry 'Sample1' and do
dm_ext_deleteItem(2, 4, 0)
This raises an error but according to your javascript menu master manual the first argument should be the menuindex ....which is 2 in our opinion.
A: See, if you have several menus on your page they will have differentID's, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //ID=0
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //ID=1
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //ID=2
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //ID=3
So, if you have only one menu on your test page you should use ID=0
Q: Where do I increase the width of the javascript menu bars for each entry? Some of my links are a bit longer than the image and it's causing it to use part of another gif to cover it. Sorry not sure if I even explained that right. Let me know if this makes sense.
A: I suppose that you're using Vista style templates.
The width of vista images is 94px. If the width of your menu itemis wider than 94px you should correct the width of the images in anygraph editor, for example in Photoshop. You should set the width ofthese images 120px and set the following parameter:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=bold 10pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#F8FF95","itemBackImage=columbine.files/btn_orange.gif,columbine.files/btn_orange2.gif"],
];
You can also try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
