Q: Can I put the icon on the left hand side of the text or does it have to be the right in the tree menu script?
A: You can put the icon as you wish on the left or right side.
You may set a alignment of icons and arrows.
To set them use these parameters:
var ticonAlign="right";
var texpandBtnAlign="right";
To set alignment of the top items in XP-style use:
var tXPAlign="right";
Q: It seems that if I try and use the syntax ["| with some HTML such as <DIV class = 'myclass'> inside dropdown menu it IGNORES the HTML and just treats it like another link.
But if I don't start the line with ["| ..... Then I get a syntax error.
For example:
I am trying to place 4 links in a square shape in the top left of my screen. To do this I was going to create DIV's and set the TOP and LEFT to different values from within a loop (I left out the code that does the updating for myleft and mytop...)
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "", "", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
<end loop>
];
What am I doing wrong here?.... Can you show me how to accomplish this task?
A: No, this syntax is incorrect. It won't work.
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],<end loop>
];
You should have <div> ... </div> tags in each dropdown menu item!
It is not correctly to write <div> ... </div> tags for wholesubmenu.
var menuItems = [
["|<div style='position: absolute; left:<cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>text</div>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
];
Q: If you look at our site in IE (PC) the deluxemenu looks great justified left w/ our logo justified right. When you look at it in Safari (Mac) the dhtml menu dropdown is stretched across the entire width of the page and our logo is no longer in view (yuk!).
A: Try to set exact width for the menu in 'px':
var menuWidth="300px";
Q: Is it possible to make the menuitems rightclickable in the latest version of Deluxemenu. I want to rightclick on the drop down menu in javascript item and choose open in new window.
A: No, there is no such a feature in Deluxe Menu v3.2.7.
You can write your item in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com'>test test test</a>",""],
But you should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}
