Q: I have a big problem with a trial version of deluxe menu - javascript tree builder.
if I save a testwork from me, minutes later I will open this... then come a message:
can't open the file:
you should change the encoding: "Tools/use utf8 encode"
Change this setting and open your data files.
What's that supposed to mean?
I am grateful when you give me an answer, thx.
A: Try to change the encoding: "Tools/use utf8 encode" and open your datafile.
Q: I tried the new engine files and the submenus now show up in the bottom frame.
If the new page in the bottom frame is a frameset itself, the menus will not show up. Is there a work around for this?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only. It can't work within nested framesets.
Q: I am testing out your menu system as I try to redesign my site. It is a vertical menu with submenus.
I have hundreds of pages in my site and I'd like to be able to attach your menu system to all of them.
However, I will be making changes to the menu system on a regular basis.
I do not want to go change every program in the site each time I need to make a menu change.
I was hoping you could give me some kind of programming code that I could enter into the <body> section of my html files which would automatically read a file into my prograrm, which contained the menu code.
This way when a menu change is needed, I edit one file, all the programs read that file and display the menu.
As an example of the code I would want read into a webpage at start up:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/dmenu.js"></script>
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 9px Verdana;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" HREF="500main.htm">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" HREF="tixbbs.htm" TARGET="text">For Sale</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Place Ad</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">Sources</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
A: If you change the menu parameters only there is no need to change code on each page. You should only replace your old data file (data-deluxe-menu.js) with the new one.
If you don't want to install your menu on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Please, see more info about cross-frame mode here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html
Also you can use a server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from templates on your server.
Q: I pushed the js files you attached and it fixed my Trial error message but now my left menus APPLMENU.JS and APPL2MENU.JS won't mouse over and won't open the submenus and it gives a javascript error.
A: Now you have several errors in you data files appl2menu.js andapplmenu.js.
Now you have
var menuBackColor="cccccc";
var menuBorderWidth="";
var itemBorderWidth="";
This is not right.
Try to write them:
var menuBackColor="#CCCCCC";
var menuBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty
var itemBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty
