Q: Can I have the pop-out menus in the floating navigation bar go left instead of right.
A: You should use the following parameter (Deluxe Tuner->Positioning):
var subMenuAlign="left";
Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: I am interested in buying your software for some web development I planning on doing.а Before I buy your software, I have a concern that I was hoping you could help me with.
I downloaded the trial version of the software and set up some menus.а However, when I load them with IE7, the information bar comes up and asks me if I want to run scripts or ActiveX controls.а Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?а Is there some setting I have chosen in one of the properties that is causing this to happen?
I am not interested in buying a license for this software if this is what is going to happen.а I really like the way I can modify just about anything in the menusЕ but having this pop up is not user friendly.а Please tell me there is a way to fix this.
A: Please, see security preferences: IE/Tool/Internet Options
Make sure that Active content is enabled.
You should check your Security Settings.
There is no way to enable these settings automatically.
Q: Can I ask a technical question? I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the drop down menu selected branch to sty highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window (where the menu brings up a new page), just so the user knows where he/she is. Is that possible?
A: But if you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>
