Recent Questions Treeview Javascript Tree Menu
Q: I have implemented a deluxe-menu on my client's website and I had a couple of questions.
1. Can I control how fast the submenus scroll in my javascript menu examples? If you look at the site and hover over Need An Expert? on the menu and then point to Practice Areas, this submenu seems to scroll slower than if you mouse over "Technology" and scroll that submenu. The Technology submenu scrolls a lot faster. Is it because there are many more items in the Technology submenu? I tried to find a setting for "scroll speed" or the like, but I couldn't find it.
2. In internet explorer, when you mouse over Need An Expert?, Technology the first time you go to the page, there is a 3-4 second delay before the submenu opens. There are a lot of submenu items under Technology, but in Firefox, there doesn't seem to be this delay. Do you know why this would happen in IE? Is there a way to fix it? Could the problem be that each submenu item has a background graphic and this is causing the delay?
3. When you get to a page on the site and you rollover the top level menu, there is also a delay before the background image of the menu items shows up. You get a solid blue background color for a second or two (the bgcolor assigned) and then the graphic loads and shows up. Is there any way around this? I have a javascript to preload the image (back.jpg) but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
A: 1. The scroll speed depends on number of items to be scrolled, more items -> faster scroll.
You can decrease the number of items or enlarge the size of submenu.
2,3. Please try to add the following param:
var dm_writeAll = 1;
It will load all backgrounds on page load, no on mouseover.
Q: Where do I find the API reference that is associated with pop up windows. Specifically, the method documentation that references the window pointer returned by deluxePopupWindow.make?
A: You can find all info on our website:

A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files,
so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- JavaScript Tree Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: Another question on the "onePerSession" parameter of window onload popup. Is there some other condition to it? I set it on the popup but the popup keeps coming back up. Could it be related only to window that initially loads?
Another question. I have a page with numerous popup windows. Could there be some strategy to having the opening a subsequent popup opening closing a previous one, so there would only be one popup at a time?
Comment; I found that I could combined multiple popup data.js files (the above webpage) together and now I understand how I don't have to deal with the "skin" popup window.

It will appear only once per session. But if you open and close yourbrowser your window will appear again.You can send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.

You can use the same window and change its content usingdeluxePopupWindow.open() function.
