Q: A couple days ago I purchased the multi-website license of Deluxe Menu/Tree/Tabs/Popup Window/Calendar for US$149.00

I am having a very hard time getting the popup window to do just a basic function.

All I want is to have a link that I click on the page and the dhtml menu windows pop up.

As it is, the page automatically opens the popup window on loading.

I'm not a Javascript programmer which is why I purchased your product as it seemed I could pick a couple basic values in the GUI and it would create the script and code for me.

It would be REALLY handy if you had a couple of examples of how to create the following:

- Open the popup window upon the page loading

- Open the popup window when the user clicks a link

- Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link

- Close the popup window when the user mouses out

The help section doesn't even provide a menu item for the popup window.

Finding support for it on your site is difficult and what I can find is better suited for someone with Javascript knowledge.

Is there any way you can provide me the code to do this?

Thanks very much for your time and assistance.

A: We have such example on our website:
> - Open the popup dhtml menu windows upon the page loading
To open the popup window upon the page loading you should set thefollowing parameter:
openAfter=0
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=0,,,,,')
You can find this parameter in Deluxe Tuner. See on-load.zip example.
> - Open the popup window when the user clicks a link
Create the popup window in Deluxe Tuner and save it as html. UseonClick event for a link.

See how you should write your link:
<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.
where (see on-click.js file)
'win' - is winID
'<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM:
10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN:center\'>
<B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font:
13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a
simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to
content page or ID of some element.</EM>' - content of your
popup window
'Safari Style' - window title
'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes' - parameters of the popup window'windows_safari' - window skin

You can find more info about deluxePopupWindow.open function here:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

Notice that you shouldn't set openAfter parameter in on-click.jsfile:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')

> - Open the popup window when the user mouses over a link
> - Close the popup window when the user mouses out

You should create such popup in the same way as in the previous point,but use onMouseOver/onMouseOut events.

<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,middle,right,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>this link</b></a> opens a medium-sized dhtml floating window.

<a class="sampleLink" title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onMouseOut="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<DIV style=\'PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px; COLOR: #d33a3a; PADDING-TOP: 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\'><B>Sample content</B></DIV><DIV style=\'font: 13px;text-align: center; color:#666666; \'><EM>This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.</EM>', 'Safari Style', 'width=250,height=100,resizable,scrollbars,minimizable,fullscreen,bottom,left,fade-effect,opacity=1,floatable=yes', 'windows_safari')"><b>Open popup window</b></a>



Q: Also I have a problem getting the separator to show in my javascript right click menu. I have individual settings for the main menu items. I then tried to place an after item image, and they will show, though then the mouseover image does not work.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical javascript right click menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];



Q: If I have a Menu and Tab control on the same page, how do I get the menu pop up to have a higher z-index so it displays on top on the tabs?

I want the main menu to display above the Label/Candle tab control.

A: Deluxe Tabs has z-index = 2000
Deluxe Menu has z-index = 1000

You can open dmenu.js file in any text editor and find the following code:

dmZOrder=1000

Change it to

dmZOrder=2050



Q: There is a portion of my site that is set to produce frames and I was wondering if there is more information about setting links in a javascript collapsable menu to selected frame pages?

A: You can specify target parameter for each item in javascript collapsable menu individually.

For example you can specify the name of the frame in the menuItems where you would liketo open your link:

 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "frame", "", "", "", ],
