When I save to teste this feature doesn't work !!!
A: You can use movable feature in the var tXPStyle=0;too.
But to use floatable or movable feature you should use absolute position forthe menu:
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="20px";
var ttop="40px";
Q: In order to speed up things, (I mean my learning of this program) I am thinking of this:
I have at the moment only one selling e-book on my website.
Could you inform me please what I have to master in this drop down menu generator For managing, let say two affiliates, or more of course.
I know I will have to learn all. But I am sure that for starting and for just one e-book I don’t need to master everything.
I am a newbie, and all at once it is tiring as well as confusing.
And when my e-book is selling I will have time to study the whole thing.
Can you do this please?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Deluxe Tuner v2.4 supports Deluxe Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Deluxe Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Menu ) you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site (you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")
http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Q: Is it possible to use more than one Menu in one Site, for example with
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath1 = "menue/produkt.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/produkt.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath2 = "menue/navigation.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/navigation.files/dmenu.js"></script>
unfortunately this syntax doesnґt work
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only onceon the one page.
You cannot write dmWorkPath1 and dmWorkPath2. Youir menu won't workcorrectly in that case.
You should write
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2007, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
and call several data files:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data3.js"></script>
Q: We recently bought your product.
We are developing in ASP.NET (VB) and we have a problem making you deluxe menu dynamic to suit our needs. We are using the Deluxe Menu.
The problem is each time a page with dhtml nav loads, we want to be able to generate the menuItems variable to reflect the options the individual user has, so it can't be hard coded into data.js it MUST be provided by an aspx file and attached somehow. I can't work out how to attach the variable (even a static one) as a separate file, so if you can do it with a static one, we can extend it to a dynamic one later.
For example the JS in the data.js file we want the MenuItem dimension you be loaded in a seperate file, some kind of include.
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About","about.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact","contact.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Help","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|HowTo Register","RegHelp.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|FAQ","FAQ.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dos 'n' Don'ts","DoDont.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Workshop","workshop.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Gold Run","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About Goldrun","goldrunAbout.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Veiw Sites","GoldDistribSites.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["My Run","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","aboutmyrun.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["TICs","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","abouttics.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Metro","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","aboutmetro.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Distribution","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","DistribAbout.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Status","DistribStatus.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|News","DistribNews.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Display Units","DistribDisplay.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Team","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|View Sites","DistribSites.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|TIC Budget","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Hope this makes sense.
A: You can move
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
dhtml nav code from your data file to your page (template) directly:
<script>
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
