Q: I have used the menu features many times and am used to having the code to be inserted into the html page provided when the project is saved.
I have successfully created my first popup window (not the popup menu) which I want to use for text information to open when a text is clicked.
The preview has this working fine but when I saved the project there was no code created to install on the site and I cannot find directions within the program or at your website.
Please advise on how to install a created javascript popup window to an XHTML page linked to text.
A: For example you want to open your popup window when you click the link on your page.
You should do the following:
1) Open your page (for example index.html page) in any text editor.
Add link in the place where you want to have it and specify the ID (for example: win1) for it, for example:
<a href="javascript:;" id="win1">Click Here to see a window</a>
2) Create a popup window in Deluxe Tuner. Add your content.
You can use HTML content, Iframe (url) or any object on your page as popup windows content - Object ID.
For example select HTML content (winContent parameter in the 'Common' section) and add the content in HTML Content window, for example:
<div style="text-align:center;"><b>Sample content</b></div>
This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.
3) In the 'Actions' section specify the id of your link (win1) for the onClick event.
See the attached screen.gif.
4) Select the template you want to use.
5) Export your popup window to HTML page. File -> Export -> To HTML. Save it in any testfolder.
So, you'll have:
deluxe-popup-window.files/
deluxe-popup-window.html
deluxe-popup-window.js
6) Open the generated deluxe-popup-window.html file in any text editor.
Copy all code for Popup window and paste it in the beginning of the <body> tag:
...
<body>
<!-- Deluxe Popup Window -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">menu drop down by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, DeluxePopupWindow.com -->
7) Copy 'deluxe-popup-window.files/' folder and deluxe-popup-window.js file into the samefolder with your index.html (root folder of your website).
Q: I want to be able to have all of the submenus start at the top of the menu. For example, when I hover across each of my menu items in a vertical level, I want the sublevel menu to start at the very top of the menu, not out beside the menu option. How can I achieve this
A: You can have such effect only for the first subitems.
Others subitems will have Y offset.
Please, see the attached example.
You should adjust the following parameters:
var topDX=-116;
var topDY=-31;
var DX=-148;
var DY=-32;
