Q: Can search engines follow the menu items of the website design navigation?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks"> <a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I have the dynamic dropdown menu working perfectly on the main page of the website, but when I try to install it onto html files that appear in subfolders of the site, the images do not appear. I have put ../ before all the links I can find and have the following codes placed in my file, what am I doing wrong?
A: You can use additional parameters to make dynamic dropdown 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: Will the .js file dhtml menu script still be obfuscated with the purchased version of Deluxe Menu?
I'll need to tweak the final script to create the menus I want so this would make a big difference in my decision to purchase.
A: See in Single Website License, Multiple Website License and DeveloperLicense our source code is obfuscated.
And in Developer License with Javascript Source Code you can see thecode and change it.
We support all our customers.
But we DO NOT provide technical support for modified source code.
Q: I have an HTML application with 4 iframes. The main html file contains 3 iframes (top toolbar, left toolbar, and main area) and the menu. The main area iframe contains one additional iframe were the actual data is. When I interact with the data in this last iframe and try to dynamically change the menu in the .html file I get the error message: 'm' is null or not an object
The API call is:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["test1", "testlink.htm", "", "", "test1m", "_blank", "1"]);
I only have one menu.
I am using IE6
I included these files in both the hta file and the iframe source file.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu (cross-frame mode).
See more info here:

There is no need to call dmenu_...js files.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>
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 = "./data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
