Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.

After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.

My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.

A: You can try to use AJAX technology.

AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.

New parameter:
  var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support

Current syntax for item parameters (  var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]

Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items (  var tmenuItems).



Q: Can Deluxe menus work with tables?


A: Yes, you can place your menu into the <div> or <table> tag.

For example:

 <table>
    <tr>
       <td><script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script></td>
   </tr>
  </table>



Q: The problem with the old computer (by clicking an item the wrong subitem appears and the windows disappears not fast enough. I have tried your recommendation

  var smShowPause=200;
  var smHidePause=1000;
  var transDuration=350;
  var transDuration2=200;


A: Try to decrease these parameters, for example

  var smShowPause=200;
  var smHidePause=300;

Try that.


Q: As I have stated before, your Deluxe-Menu is very very good.

But there is allways room for improvement.

Is there any chance to see support for the following in Deluxe-Menu:

When I move the mousepointer above a menuitem and right-click I would like to see in the javascript contextual menu (the context menu provided by the browser):

Open Link in new window
Open Link in new tab

If the above is not possible or not something you want to enable.... then, there should be possible to make a workaround to make this work:

I see there is support for custom javascript contextual menus.....
.... is there any possibility to make a custom context menu that show above a menuitem and that show when right clicking on the menuitem.
Should hopefully be possible to create in such way that I create one context menu in javascript (the deluxe menu way... ) , but when clicking on "Open link in new window" from that custom menu, then the JS code should call a javascript function of mine (or yours), with a parameter related to the menuitem that was right-clicked...
And this javascript function should be able to resolve the actual URL (based on the input parameter rel. to the menuitem) and then open a new window using window.open()

If not possible to implement using the native browser context menu, then I belive it should be possible to do it using my workaround how to.....
Just a thought....
Any suggestions on how I can make the workaround work, or if maybe you could support the workaround in some way in future releases of Deluxe-Menu?

A: Yes, there is a workaround.
You can write your items in the following way:
 ["|<a href='http://www.domain.com' class="link">test test test</a>",""],

You should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}
