Q: I have been using the DHTML Menu program for years and they are working good.
But I found an office where the javascript tree menu example just simply does'nt appear.
I am curious about it, why just in that office the Menu is not working.
I can note than other javascript routines I put on my page are not working neither.
Can you give me some idea of what can I check on the computers?
Something on the explorer? (IE6) , or a kind of program?
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).Q: Are there instructions on how to set up cross-frame mouseover menu?
A: You should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
Q: I must say, I'm glad I found your products! I am thoroughly impressed with your products! Once we get everything figured out and our menu set up, we'll be purchasing a license for our site.
However, I did have a question. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the individual menu styles to be applied to any of my java script menu items through the Deluxe Tuner. I've looked through through your documentation, but I cannot find anything that explains to me how I do this in the Deluxe Tuner. All I could find is this link:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html Which I don't quite fully understand, and by the looks of it, it doesn't appear to explain to me how I customize my individual menu item styles through the Deluxe Tuner.
Could you please either explain to me how to do this, or provide me a link that gives me directions on how to get this to work.
I look forward to doing business with you!
A: To create Individual styles click "Edit Individual Styles..." button.
1) In the "Individual Styles" window click "Add Style", enter the name
of the new style.
2) Edit java script menu parameters of your style
4) Click "OK" button.
5) Select items (you can use Ctrl and Shift buttons to select group ofitems) and assign "Item Style"/"Submenu Style" to it. (in the "Item Parameters" window)
Q: I am having a problem creating a submenu. I did not get any js errors but nothing happens.
What I have found is that even when I have dynamic=1;
I was getting an error saying object expected so I added the dmenu_dyn.js manually (i.e. <scripttype="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>) but now get no errors but no submenu is created.
Do I have to add all the js files in the menu folder manually as I thought it was just
<scripttype="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu.js"></script>
that was needed.
All, I am trying to add a submenu under the challenge topmenu.
function addChallengeItems(){
dm_ext_createSubmenu(0, 0, 3, ['Buy Deluxe Menu Now!', "order-deluxe-menu-purchase.html", "", "", "Buy Deluxe Menu Now!", "_blank"]);
}
And then a href that calls addChallengeItems()
<ahref="javascript:addChallengeItems();">add</a>
A: There is no need to add all engine files into your menu folder.
You can add only
dmenu.js
dmenu_dyn.js
More info about Description of Files you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/description-of-files-info.html
Please delete also the following line from your code
<script type="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
Try that.
