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: I have spanish characters that are not showing up in my menus correctly.
My array has this:
["|México","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],
buy in the drop downs it appears as M?xico
I read in the FAQ about displaying Norwegian characters
(http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-javascript-menu-drop-down-Norwegian-characters-support.html)
so I tried this:
but that did nothing.
I have the charset on the page set properly and the letters appear properly everyone else, only incorrect in the menus.
A: You should write your Spanish characters in the following way:
["|México","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],
Try that.
Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: I am looking to integrate your menu system into a CMS (Content Management System) such as Joomla. I was curious if you have any supporting documentation as to any steps that could make this any easier; or if its anything you have looked at previously. I know some menu systems actually have export modules in which it will export their system to a CMS compatible template; does this menu software have any of the functionality; or modules (even 3rd party modules) that perform similar function?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Joomla extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
