Q: I am using the deluxe menu in a cross frame set-up. The sub menu's are to be in the 'MAIN' frame. All works great until I have a php file loaded into the MAIN frame.. the sub menus will load in the parent frame.. where the main drop down menu is..

Click skip intro or wait for the site to appear… you will see the menu down the left side… if you click the second button down you will load a php blog page into the MAIN frame… then hover over the third button down and you will see the problem with the sub menu.. it works fine when other pages are loaded (click Home and then hover over the screenplay button again.

Everything is local (the blog is loaded and running for our server account)

A: Your menu is situated in http://www.domain.com domain andthis content is situated in http://domain.com domain(without www).

Try to use the same domains for the menu and your content.



Q: Could it be possible to explain to me how to create cross-frame horizontal navigation bar..

A: To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>

Then you should open your data file in any text editor and changedm_init();
for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I contact you because this morning we have bought a single license of your deluxe tree menu for our web site www.roderstore.com All features of tree menu work good when I try it on local computer.

When I send the files on web site there is the problem that we must work on different directory : the script must be saved in a directory and the html page with menu inside is installed in another directory.

We can't save the script inside the directory of html pages because there are a lot of pages that call the tree menu, in different levels of path.

In the header of html page I have write the absolute path of script ( http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/ ) and I have called the source of script with all absolute path.

The problem is that the tree javascript moving menu is visible, the function are OK ( expand and collapse are OK ) but the tree don't have the images !

I presume that the problem is the different directory of script and html page ?

What can we do ?

A: You can try to use absolute path to your images. To do it you shouldset the following javascript moving menu parameter:

  var tpathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/";

You can also send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.
