Q: Please tell me in very plan instructions how to load the dhtml menu slide on to a blank Front Page web page?
A: You should do the following things:
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
2. Export the menu into html file "File/Export/To HTML".
3. Copy generated folder with all engine .js files and images
("deluxe-menu.files/" by default) and data-deluxe-menu.js (by default) into the same folder with you index.html page (created inFrontPage).
4. Now you should add several rows of code into your index.html file.
You can do it in FrontPage (open HTML source of the page and edit it)
or in any text editor. Open your index.html page and edit it.
Notice that you'll have errors in the Preview. But you won't get errors if you open this page in the browser.5. Add the following code in the tag:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript&ht;
<script type="text/javascript">> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
in the place where you want to have the menu.
You can paste it in <table>, <div> tags.
For example:
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
6. Save your index.html page and open it in any browser.
Q: I am currently tasked with creating a large intra-type net for our company. ( knowledge base, FAQ etc. for internal use only ).
At this time I am making plain text or table based menus and getting tired of having to add the drop menus to EVERY page individually in our little intra-web. I would like to purchase software that makes groovy looking menus, but also get the information needed to have them appear on ALL pages after editing the menu once if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately my web authoring experience is best suited to circa-1996 web pages I can hash out in notepad in my sleep. However, I have been told in order to do what I am doing I need to use CSS or styles or cascading stylesheets and not sure if your software will do that.
If I purchase this software and whip up a neat little menu, would you be able to send me information on how to include it in a css as I described above? I would essentially need to know the code or commands to have it appear in all of the pages I create, once I make the menu file. If that is something you can assist me with, I can purchase this right away.
A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.
If you don't want to create your drop menus on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
Q: May I know what's the upgrade policy for these javascript menu scripts?
A: All minor upgrades you'll get for free (for example, 1.5->1.7).
All major upgrades you'll get for free during 1 year (for example, 1.7->2.0).
For example, if there's some major upgrades (1.7 -> 2.0 -> 4.0)you'll get them for free during one year.
But if there'll be no major upgrades during some period (1.72 -> 1.81 -> 1.92). And after 3 year, for example, there will be major upgrade to 2.0. So you can upgrade for free.
We can offer you some discount for the major upgrade of javascript menu scripts after one year.
Q: The arrows on my cross browser javascript menu only show on the main page of my website (www.domain.com). I read the FAQs and the problem seems common and related to a path error. My path appears correct (to me anyway..lol) but it still doesn't work.
A: Try to use absolute path to your images. Set the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.com/";
