Q:

Now I need to work out how to add multiple menu’s to a page? Are
you able to reference these separately - is this possible.

The page that I am creating lists out notes from our system -
there is a “options” button to the right of each note - when the
cursor hovers over this button I want to dynamically load the
menu’s. On any page there could be over a 100 of these “option”
buttons and the dhtml drop down menus that would load from each option button could
be different and specific to the note.

A:

You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.

You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>var dmWorkPath = “data.files/”;</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src=”data.files/dmenu.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

and then call your data files:

<SCRIPT src=”data.files/data1.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src=”data.files/data2.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src=”data.files/data3.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src=”data.files/data4.js” type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

You can try to use pop up menus

You may also generate a menus from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.

Q:

I need your help. I built a menu with your software, and I followed all
your instructions on placing it on my web page, but it’s not working. The
dhtml drop menu will not go into its table cell. I have a flash banner in the cell
above it, and the menu seems to be behind that banner, but the menu is not
even inside the table.

I also tried placing the dhtml drop menu on another page where I do not have a flash
banner, but it doesn’t show up at all.

A:

You’ve set absolute position for the dhtml drop menu
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=”100px”;
var posY=”200px”;

You should set:

var absolutePos=0;
var posX=”0px”;
var posY=”0px”;

Q:

How I can set left align for the arrows in my dhtml drop down menus?

var arrowImageSub=["arr_1_blk.gif","arr_1_red.gif"];

A:

If you want that your arrows will appear on the left side you should
set:
var dmRTL=0;
parameter.

Q:

I’ve got an xp style menu that I’m trying to place within a
table… Things are not rendering as I’d expect

I am trying to put the dhtml drop menu in the left column of the table, a
form on the right side, and then center the entire table.
The html table is surrounded by a center tag (have tried a div tag with no difference).

It appears the xp menu is obeying the center tag, but not keeping
it relative to the containing table…

How can I fix this issue? I have also attached the html source
code as it is rendered in the browser in case that is of some use.

A:

You should set the following parameter:

var tabsolute = 0;

You’re using absolute position for the dhtml drop menu now.

Q:

I just discovered your dhtml drop menu and I think it is fabulous! I
would like to buy it, but have one issue which is strange:

I have a list of 12 items, each with a submenu that is loaded
using the ajax technology. The submenues are loaded correctly for
the first 8 items, but not for the last 4 items. I can switch items
around, always the first 8 only get loaded. Is there a limitation to
8 items?

A:

No, there is no such limitation.

Please, check the following parameter:
var dmAJAXCount=0;

That variable set the maximal number of submenus that will be loaded
from server on your page.

Q:

After I create that submenu I want to move those items up or down within that submenu in the dhtml drop menu.

A:

Do you want to move your subitems within Deluxe Tuner?

To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag’n'drop method.

To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag’n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.

Q:

I’d like to buy a template for creating a basic
vertical dhtml drop menu that is image based. Can you tell me which of your
products I should consider buying? I’m familiar with html, but not
other programming languages.

A:

If you want to create dhtml drop menu you should buy Deluxe Menu,
http://deluxe-menu.com

See the example here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/image-based-menu-sample.html

You can also use your own images for the menu items.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]

Please, try the trial version at first. It has full functionality.
