Q:

The menu and javascript works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to
work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using
the other parameters to make it absolute… here is the html files,
and the .js files included in a zip file.

A:

Now on your website you have the following code:

["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
…

On your website you’re using paths to the pages situated on a local
disk. It is not right.

You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
…

You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.

var pathPrefix_link = “http://www.domain.com/”;

and write

["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],

Q:

Trialling your menu maker. Was trying to get the tabs menu and navigation working,
but it gives me the error “Tabs[...].id is null or not an object”
within the program and under IE7, but not under Mozilla Firefox.
Obviously the tabs will be used on my website, of which 80-90% of
traffic is MS-IE.

Do you know about this problem, and is there a fix. This will be
a major stumbling block against me buying the product if this
problem is not fixable.

A:

Try to set the following menu and navigation parameter:

var bselectedSmItem=0;

Q:

I think I followed the instructions on FAQ to center my menu and javascript but
it still will not center. Can you help?

A:

You can use different colors for each item and subitem of the menu and javascript
You should use individual item styles.
More info you can find here:

Q:

The browser I am using is Internet Explorer 7.0 at Windows Vista
(with “Security” set at “Medium”). I get the message “To help
protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this
webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access
your computer” and then I have to click this message/bar in order
to “Allow blocked content”. After I do that the menu and javascript appears as it
should, but of course I don’t want visitors to go through that.
FYI, I do not have the same problem with the dynamic menus on
your website or in other websites, which appear normally right from
the start.

A:

You should adjust your browser settings.

Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/

and set
“Allow active content from files to run on My Computer”.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in other
case there are no reasons to create security preferences.

Q:

Can you tell me why these two menu and navigation tabs menus are conflicting and overwriting?

A:

Notice, when you have several dhtml tabs menus on the one page you should call
dtabs.js file only once.

<script type="text/javascript" src="Top_Center1.files/dtabs.js"></script>

Q:

I bought the Deluxe Menu system for one website.
menu and navigation works well on all versions of IE that I tried (5,6,7)

However, the background and shadow do not render in Firefox. As a result
the menu is not as attractive.
Can you help with this or am I stuck?

A:

You should add Individual Item style and assign it for the top menu and navigation items:

var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=20px"],
];
["Home","index.shtml", "", "", "First Page", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["Communication","", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", "", "", ],
…

Filters and transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer
5.5+ only.

Q:

I have made a horizontal menu and javascript that have different colors for
different pages. What I’m not figuring out is out to make the
current page be the reversed color state? This page should actually
have the “images” highlighted. I’m using the Deluxe Tuner plus
deluxe-menu+deluxe-tree+deluxe-tabs-trial.exe.

A:

Please, check the following parameter

var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,… - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.

The menu and javascript has only two states normal and mouseover. We’ll try to add the pressed state in the future.

You can 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.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can’t get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.

Q:

There is a portion of my site that is set to produce frames and I
was wondering if there is more information about setting links in a
menu and javascript to selected frame pages?

A:

You can specify target parameter for each item in menu and javascript individually.

For example you can specify the name of the frame in the menuItems where you would like
to open your link:

["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "frame", "", "", "", ],
