Q: Extremely new at this and likely way over my head…..but why when I attempt to use my own button image in the “itemBack Image” selection under “Edit Individual Styles” does it keep showing up blank in the preview screen?
A: Please, check all your paths.
You can also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I am evaluating De Luxe menu. We perhaps like to become OEM distributor.
But I have a question.
In a website i would like to align 3 menu items to the left of the page and the other items to the right.
The 3 items to the left have a different style. But all have a fixed width.
I tried to define a spacer between the items but this didn't work out.
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/webos_net/dmenu/data.js"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Website","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=website",,,"","_top","0"],
["MyNorma","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=mynorma",,,"","_top","0"],
["BackOffice","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=portal",,,"","_top","1"],
[" ","/webos_net/default2.aspx",,,"spacer","","2"],
["Zoek","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Stamgegevens","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Repartitie","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Beheer","",,,"",'main','3'],
]
dm_init();
I also defined itemstyles:
var itemStyles = [
//hoofdmenu
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444"],
//hoofdmenu selected
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444","itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
//spacer
["itemWidth=100%"],
//default menu
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];
Can you provide a java menu samples which shows left and right alignment of menu items is possible?
A: Unfortunately it is not correctly to write
["itemWidth=100%"],
in Individual Styles. It won't work. You can set the exact width forthis space, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg,/images/topmenu1bg.jpg", "fontColor=#444444,#444444","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444", "itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
["itemWidth=220px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "itemBorderStyle=none,","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];
var menuStyles = [
];
var menuItems = [
["Website","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=website", "", "", "", "_top", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["MyNorma","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=mynorma", "", "", "", "_top", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["BackOffice","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=portal", "", "", "", "_top", "1", "", "", "", "", ],
[" ","", "", "", "spacer", "", "2", "", "", "", "", ],
["Zoek","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Stamgegevens","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Repartitie","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Beheer","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Q: Please tell me where I am going wrong:
The menu is all messed up!
A: See, now you have:
var itemBackImage=["data.files/btn_green.gif","data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif"];
and you also assign Individual Item Style with itemBackImage anditemWidth parameters for each item
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#000000,#000000",
"itemBackImage=data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif,data.files/btn_white_white.gif"],
];
var menuItems = [
["projects","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["FMWR","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["general water info","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["bulletin board","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["WSS MDG tracking","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["reform instruments","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
You should delete itemBackImage and itemWidth parameters from itemStyles.
Q: I see "Incorrect Copyright" message in IE7.
A: Now you're using Deluxe Menu v1.12.
You should upgrade you Deluxe Menu to v2.0.
Please, download licensed files from the same link in your licensemessage.
How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
(can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/OpenA
c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0;
var dm_focus = 1;
var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0;
var smHideOnClick = 1;
var itemAlignTop = 'left';
var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0;
var dmAJAXCount = 30;
var dmRTL = 0;
var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
var menuHeight = "";
var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.
They are:

- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js
- dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
