It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable

Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your horizontal menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I now wish to dynamically change the drop down menu in html parameters. For this, I have set the following parameters:
// Dynamic Menu
var dynamic=1;
1.Please send me the reference link for the dynamic menu commands available (for javascript).
2.Now AFTER initialization, dm_init();, I wish to change the default var itemTarget="Sub_Main";
How do I do that??
A: You can find more info about API functions here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
Unfortunately it is not possible to change drop down menu in html parameters ( var ...)after menu initialization.
So, there is no way to change
var itemTarget="Sub_Main";
But you can change target for each item individually (targetparameter in menuItems) using dm_ext_changeItem function.
var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
Q: How do I expand the length of the vista html drop menu tab images to accommodate longer text? If the text is "Special Event Programs", the arrows are outside the tab in another partial one. I am using the Vista style tabs (black_blue / tealblack).
Is there any way other than definition of new image files to get more color combos?
Can I change the text size in the menu tabs? When I use the Tuner, it has no effect.
A: Try to use image-based menu.
Set:
var menuWidth="92px";
var menuHeight="";
and create the following style:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-back.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-back.gif",
"beforeItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-left.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-left.gif","afterItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-right.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-right.gif","beforeItemImageW=10","afterItemImageW=10","beforeItemImageH=21","afterItemImageH=21",
"itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
