Q: I just purchased your product and I have it installed and it is working great. Great job with this product.
I am wondering why I am only seeing just a small percentage of the templates for the css rollover menus. On your web page, there seem to be dozens of different styles to choose from. On my local software there is only a few. Can I download the additional "vista" styles somehow?
A: We've included all templates in the installation package.
You can also find all templates in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\deluxe-menu\Templates\
Q: We've used your deluxe menu on a few sites without any issues. We are trying a new site javascript menu system now and having an issue with beforeItemImage and afterItemImage. Below is our data javascript class. The dropdown seems fine in Firefox but the before and after Images are not showing up in Internet Explorer.
We've tried a number of things and can't quite get the tabbed corners in IE. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated, we need to get this menu live soon for a client of ours. Thank you in advance.
A: Try to specify width and height parameters:
var beforeItemImageW="6";
var afterItemImageW="6";
var beforeItemImageH="19";
var afterItemImageH="19";
We've checked your page in IE6, IE7, IE8. All images displayed correctly.
Q: How I can write the changed dhtml pull down menu into a database?
A: Unfortunately, we don't have such example.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.html
This example is not for Deluxe Tree menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.
Q: How to select a different background (colour or images) in the link drop down menu?
A: Actually you can create any menu you like with Deluxe Menu.
You can use Individual Styles to set background image(color) for the items
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackColor=#FFF000,#AAAAAA","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,
deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
];
oryou can use images instead of icons (you should delete item's text).
["","", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_green.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
