  • Submenus drop down over all the objects of the page (select, flash, object, embed, applet). If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object, the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
  • These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.
  • Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!

Recent Questions

Q: I have been mostly creating my menus by starting with a template file that has the features I need, and then modifying that file by hand (as opposed to using the Tuner program). In this case I am using data-vista-01.js.

When I load my html file that has references to the necessary resources (e.g. .js, gif, etc) in a directory that has the Images folder and Menu folder copied directly from the installed Deluxe Menu program directories, I get what I want.

This is perfect. But I think to myself, surely I don't need all the .js files from the Menu directory, nor do I need all the .gif files from the Images directory, so I started deleting those files one at a time, until I got to the point where Images contained only the Vista1 folder + the empty.gif file, and the Menu folder contained only dmenu.js. My menu now not working.

I'm guessing that some graphic files need to draw the top-level menu bar are missing. But which ones?
So my question is, what files do I really need? Is this something the documentation describes, and if so where?

I hope I don't have to include the full contents of the Menu and Images folder, as they are quite large.


A: Unfortunately, you should add all need images manually.
We'll try to correct it soon.
You can open your data.js file and see what images you're using in themenu and copy tese images into your folder.

You should also change the following parameter:

  var pathPrefix_img="";

There is no need to use all engine files for the menu.
Description of files you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/description-of-files-info.html


Q: When I save the file in our folder all the icons stop showing.  I placed a image folder in our IE folder and still no icons are showing.

A: You should check all your paths.
Please, check that you have correct paths in the tmenuItems. Forexample:

 ["|Samples", "", "icon3_s.gif", "icon3_so.gif", "", "Samples Tip"],
   ["||Sample 1", "testlink.htm", "iconarrs.gif"],
   ["||Sample 2", "testlink.htm", "iconarrs.gif"],
   ["||Sample 3", "testlink.htm", "iconarrs.gif"],
   ["||Sample 4", "testlink.htm", "iconarrs.gif"],
You can also try to use the following parameter:

  var tpathPrefix_img = "img/";



Q: I'm having trouble getting some of my dhtml menus free opening in the frm2. If you look under products, then Hard drives, then Rugged Airborne .....this one and Rugged Ground will not open in frm2 but the Contact Us and Get Quote are working fine. Can you help me get these things to open in a frm2.

A: You should write your menu items correctly.

Now you have
   ["||Rugged Airborne","../RuggedAirborne.htm","Airborne,"frm2","0", ],
   ["||Rugged Ground","../RuggedGround.htm","Ground","frm2","0", ],
it is not correct.

You should write:
   ["||Rugged Airborne","../RuggedAirborne.htm","","","Airborne,"frm2","0", ],
   ["||Rugged Ground","../RuggedGround.htm","","","Ground","frm2","0", ],



Q: Does this mean that nothing needs to be installed on the server side to make javascript menu?

Here is why I am asking this:

We have a main "corporate" web site, which is going to use the Deluxe Menu. One of the links on the main site will launch a page, which is running on a separate web server (physically separate server, and not a load-balancing scenario). Since all of these pages should look identical to the users, they all have to use the exact same configuration and look&feel in Deluxe Menu. I was wondering if any "configuration" type settings are stored on the server. In other words, would we have to maintain the Deluxe Menu install on two separate servers?

A: There is no need to install anything on your server. You should onlycopy a folder with all engine files (dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js, ...) anddata file on your server. Then you should call these files on yourpages, for example:

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>

Actually you can copy deluxe menu files on the one server only anduse absolute paths.
