Recent Questions

Q: I can't find an instance of your java pop menu that can lay over top of a flash object without making the flash object disappear like your demo.

Does yours or doesn't it do the same thing and if so, where is there an example?

A: Deluxe Menu overlaps flash in all browsers.

You can find fix for Firefox here:

Q: Is there a way to convert a dhtml javascript tree menu I created into a Deluxe Menu using the same data so I do not have to type in all the names and links of items?

A: Actually menuItems and tmenuItems have a different structure.

  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
];

  var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFilename],
];

We don't have such converter yet. You can try to change your menuItems in any text editor. I suppose it will be easier to convert items in editor than in Deluxe Tuner.


Q: Can you please write me, as I have the active menu button in the drop down menu software different color display?

A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.



Q: I'm trying out your menus, and I seem to have a problem with changing the title of a menu item. If the text is something like "Create a New Event" the entire menu spreads out and the rollover image starts replicating itself behind it, instead fo stretching with the text. So I see 1 /2 rollover images for that top level item, instead of just the one, width it's width spread out to accomodate the extra text.

I've tried the Styles bit, but that doesn't seem to fix the rollover image any...

Any pointers ?


A: You can try to set the exact width for each menu item using IndividualItem Styles.

You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style0
["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style1
["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style2
["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid"], //style3
];

["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Samples","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
 ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
 ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
[" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", , , ],
 ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

You also should check the width of your rollover image. It should bethe same width as your items.

You can also use
tags in the item text, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["line 1
line 2"],
];

Or you can set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;

Try that.
