Q: How do you change the back ground color of the menu?
menuBackColor just changes the pull down background.
I'm stuck with a blue background which i guess is the default.
I've looked at the parameters page for info, tried a few different items but none worked for changing the background.
I'm sure its something very obvious, but any help would be appreciated.
A: Please, don't forget to change also item background colors:
var itemBackColor = ["color", "color"];
Q: What can I tell people who aren't seeing their drop-down menu? For example, I have a client who can't see his on his machine, while I can on see the menu on one of my machines but not the other.
Please advise what makes the difference and how to correct the problem.
A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
JavaScript Tree 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 menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: How can I set a top menu as a link in the web tree view?
Also, some of the parent menu items don't work as a link even though areconfigured as links.
A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But theoretically you can use links for the top items. You can write
["<a href='index.html' class='home' target="frame">Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="frame">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Is there a different type of menu, other than the way I have it set up, such as the tree type, that might load faster or take up less space when the page loads?
A: You should set
var dmAJAX=1;
create .js files with your submenus and call this files from your mainfile, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Product Info","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax2.js", ],
["Samples","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax3.js", ],
["Purchase","testlink.htm"],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm"],
];
/*** data-ajax2.js ****/
var menuItems = [
["Features","testlink.htm"],
["Installation",""],
["Parameters Info","testlink.htm"],
["Dynamic Functions","testlink.htm"],
["Supported Browsers",""],
];
Add dmenu_ajax.js file in the same folder with your dmenu.js file.
Try that.
