asked questions
“How come I see remnants of other nav
bars/submenus in my browser window?”
Refresh your browser window. In most browsers it's Command-R.
“Can I rearrange the order in which tabs appear
on the nav bar?”
Yes. See advanced
issues: tab order.
“Deep Navel modified my files and it's not quite
what I want. How can I Undo?”
While there isn't an Undo feature, you can restore
your website to its original condition reasonably easily. By default,
Deep Navel only
modifies "index.html" files; it also creates backups
of your original files as "index orig.html". To restore
your original files, rename all "index orig.html" as "index.html".
Deep Navel also generates extra files, giving them names beginning
with "nav_".
If you want to remove these extra files, simply search for "nav_" and
remove them.
“I want some of my tab's titles to be more than
one word. But won't spaces in the titles of files and folders create
problems for servers?”
They would, but Deep Navel takes care of this. See advanced
issues: multiple-word tabs and sub-tabs.
“Why can't I just choose my current website and make a nav bar from it?”
Deep Navel follows the same time-honored approach companies
like Apple use for site structure: a single folder for tab,
with each folder containing its own
file
named 'index.html'. This means you may have to rearrange your files
before running Deep Navel on your own site for the first time. (See tips.)
Why do we make you do this? First, this convention makes
for self-evident, "clean" URLs like http://deepnav.com/support/FAQ.
This also accommodates users who like to navigate within sites simply
by typing page titles in the browser's URL field.
But, mainly, it's how Deep Navel manages to sort through
your html pages and then automatically create tabs and sub-tabs at
the right levels.
“Can I stick a logo in the nav bar the way you
guys did?”
Sure. See advanced
issues: adding a logo.
“I want more than seven tabs in my navigation
bar. What do I do?”
Deep Navel is designed to accomodate up to seven tabs
in the nav bar (studies show that eight or more stretch the bounds
of
user-friendliness). Perhaps you might provide other links elsewhere
on your page?
“What's up with the menu
item "Get more
themes... ?"
We're currently working on creating new additional
design themes you can use for your nav bars. Drop us an email and
we'll let you know when they're ready.
“Does Deep Navel automatically enter accessibility
info in the nav bar too?”
Not yet, but we'll have it in our next version.
“Is there a Windows version of Deep Navel?”
We're working on that, too. Drop us an email and
we'll let you know when it's available.
“I went to your Store page hoping to find t-shirts
and hats and stuff with your weird logo on them.”
Another thing on our list. Meantime, we're wearing
blueberry bagels.
