Q: What I would like is a link inside the popup window that closes the mouseover popup window. I tried moving the "close" link from the main page into the popup window html but I get a Javascript error when I click on that link.
A: See, if you load a different page in your popup window (iframe) suchlink won't work in it.
If you add the content of the mouseover popup window in DIV (so, it will be thesame page) such link will work.
Q: Greetings. How do I make a menu item as default selected and open when the page loads with the dhtml menu bar script? Thanks.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu bar script by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dhtml menu bar script 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.
Q: In addition, as you know commercial websites also have to comply with EU regulations regarding disabilities, and I further believe that the current menu cannot be read by screen readers for blind/partially sighted/disabled users. Could you please confirm if this is the case, or if the java pull down menu can in fact be read by screen readers?
A: Deluxe java pull down menu is 508 compliant, but we don't have the certificate at this moment.
Q: In the javascript pulldown menu submenu width seems not to work in FF...
A: You should specify units in "px".
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=208px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["smHeight=200px"],
];
