Q:
I want that this tree expanded or collapsed (clicking on the
image. e.g. like the right button) and go to the link when clicked on the item.
A:
No problem.
You can assign a link to the drop down javascript menu item that has subitems.
When you’ll click on item’s button, it’ll be expanded.
When you’ll click on the item, item’s link will be opened.
Q:
How can I place the net navigation menu onto multiple pages using FrontPage
2000? I am not using CSS. Do I need to copy the html into all of
the pages, or just place the script into each page?
A:
Yes, you should paste the following html code on your pages:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
…
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="data.js"></script>
If you don’t want to add such code on each page, you can try to use
frames, the net navigation menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.
Q:
There is one other issue I am hoping you can help with? When the menu dropdown drops
down in Safari over a SWF — it disappears. I have added the function
dm_ext_ruleObjectHide() code to the top of my data file. Can you please
advise what else I can try?
A:
Submenu couldn’t overlap flash in Safari correctly.
And the following code:
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&
(navigator.vendor.indexOf(’Apple Computer’) != -1) &&
(navigator.product==’Gecko’))
return true;
in function
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&
(navigator.vendor.indexOf(’Apple Computer’) != -1) &&
(navigator.product==’Gecko’))
return true;
else
return false;
}
cause flash to disappear in Safari.
You can try to write this function in the following way:
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
Q:
I know this must be somewhere in your support information but I
can’t find it. Can you tell me something I could do for people who
have Javascript turned off so they can at least use my base drop down navigation menu
(not the submenus).
A:
When your security settings in IE doesn’t allow Javascript on
pages you load you can’t see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in other
case there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Please, try to use search engine friendly code you’ll see all your
links.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly drop down navigation 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=”menu_link1″>menu_item_text1</a>
<a href=”menu_link2″>menu_item_text2</a>
…etc.
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

Q:
I have seen pop up menu creator like this when I scroll the page the manu will scroll follow…..can delux menu do that ?
If can how ?
A:
You should use floatable feature.
You should set absolute coordinates for your pop up menu creator
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=”10px”;
var posY=”10px”;
var floatable=1;
You should also check that you have dmenu_add.js file in the same
folder with dmenu.js.
Q:
Is it possible to keep the main drop down navigation menu highlighted
corresponding to the page you are in? So, if you’re on a specific page
that button on the menu will automatically be highlighted.
I searched the FAQ on your site and it gave me something about “Special
Parameters” that didn’t make sense to me…
A:
You should 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.

After much coming and going I have finally got De Luxe menu to work with Firefox 2
