Q: Hello, I am interesting in purchasing your product, but first I need to know if it is possible to call a JavaScript function from the menu. I have read the FAQ and noted where it lists that you can perform an alert call, and that worked on my end as well, but when I attempted to call a function I created I could not get it to respond. Is it possible to call a function from your menu? Could I get an example?
A: You can write your own functions within menuItems, for example:
["|Real-Time Data Query","javascript:window.open('http://www.domain.org/', '_blank','height=758,width=1024,status=yes,toolbar=no, menubar=no,location=no');",,,'Query real time water quality data' ,'' , '', '', ,],
Q: I have deluxe-menu 3.2.5 and now I can't open my old menu files. I get thefollowing error message in dhtml menu creator "Can't open the file:
H:\data-menu.js. Check youre encode parameter." I have tried to open several different menu files and I always get the same error message. Do you have any solution of this problem?
A: You should change Deluxe Tuner settings:
Try to turn off the encoding property "Tools/use utf8 encode" and open your datafile once again.
Q: I would like to create navigation menu where the background is transparent until you move the mouse over itwhen it turns to a color. I erased the first color number from the list and that worked, but when I scrolled the mouse over the links, the background stayed light blue even though the mouse was no longer over them. Is there a way to let the background start transparent, turn light blue when the mouse is over it, then go back to transparent after the mouse is off it?
A: You can use transparent parameter, for example:
var itemBackColor=["transparent","#4792E6"];
Q: I'm about to put in an order for your excellent Deluxe Menu (still weighing up the options between buying a single license for now or the Multiple site one).
I noticed that the not-for-profit free license doesn't cater for Intranets.
Can you please confirm that your drop down menu code (paid license) would indeed work for Intranets though, as this is my current quest. I'm working on a company's internal site which has a lot of documents, procedures and forms for download, which is precisely why I would like to purchase your product.
Can you please confirm or shed light on this?
A: Yes, you can use the licensed copy of Deluxe Menu on Intranetwebsites.
You should register the drop down menu code for a domain name or for IP address.In other words, you should register the menu for the domain name thatyou print in a browser's search string, for example:
http://intranet/
http://klinikum-nuernberg/
http://192.168.0.1
http://localhost
But you menu won't work on a local machine, for example
j:\Stationshandbuch\start.html
with Single or Multiple licenses. On a local machine you'll see"Incorrect Key" message.
If you want to use the menu with an application that doesn't have afixed domain name you should buy Developer License.
