Q: I just noticed another problem: when I set dmObjectsCheck=1 and I click on a menu-item of the dropdown menu nothing happens! No matter whether the banner is flash or not. And no matter if the browser is IE or Firefox. As soon as I set dmObjectsCheck=0 the submenu works again.
A: You should set the following parameter
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
You should also add dmenu_add.js file into the folder with yourdmenu.js file.
Please, check it.
Q: We've used your deluxe menu on a few sites without any issues. We are trying a new site javascript menu system now and having an issue with beforeItemImage and afterItemImage. Below is our data javascript class. The dropdown seems fine in Firefox but the before and after Images are not showing up in Internet Explorer.
We've tried a number of things and can't quite get the tabbed corners in IE. Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated, we need to get this menu live soon for a client of ours. Thank you in advance.
A: Try to specify width and height parameters:
var beforeItemImageW="6";
var afterItemImageW="6";
var beforeItemImageH="19";
var afterItemImageH="19";
We've checked your page in IE6, IE7, IE8. All images displayed correctly.
Q: I need to include backgroundimages for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.
Any solutions for this problem?
A: Now you have such paths for all your images data.files/image.gif
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav01_off.gif,data.files/nav01_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav02_off.gif,data.files/nav02_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav03_off.gif,data.files/nav03_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav04_off.gif,data.files/nav04_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav05_off.gif,data.files/nav05_off.gif"],
];
But you don't have images in "data.files/" folder. That's why youcan't see them.
Please, check all your paths.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
