Q: We're working on new website and including your html menu systems.
Here's what we're trying to do and it keeps giving us an error (using MS Frontpage for development):
1) We have created a single leftnav menu that will appear on all of the pages of our website.
2) We've created an html page called leftnav.htm that is only this menu. It works just fine when we preview within Frontpage. The leftnav.htm and all the menu .js files are in a unique folder within the site.
3) We then have a template page that is the base template for many of the pages on our website. There is a layout table in this template into which we do an Includepage to bring in the leftnav.htm. When we try to preview this page with the menu included, we get a script error that says "Object expected" on line #155 (the .js file only has 154 lines of code).
We're stuck. Is there a problem with how we're trying to implement the html menu systems?
A: It is possible that you'll have an error in the Frontpage's preview.
Try to open your page in browser. If you'll have the same error,please send send us a copy of your html pages (including .js files) and we will check it.
Q: I have built a menu with deluxe menu and I have put everything in the same map but the page doesn't display the drop down menu it says there is an error. Could you look what I do wrong?
A: It is not correctly to write local paths on your website. They won'twork:
<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C:/Test%20website%202008/x5/data.js"></script></td>
You should upload your data.js file in the same folder with yourdmenu.js file and write:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td>
Q: I see most of the sub-menus of the navigation bar (if there is space on the left side),
they are opening on the left side instead of right side..Could you please let me know how to fix it.
A: You should change the following parameter:
var subMenuAlign="right";
to
var subMenuAlign="left";
Q: I can’t seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual horizontal menu items for the html menu. I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
