Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: I'm trying created an independent menu from my html pages.
I have several pages stored in directories and subdirectories,
I would like to call theses pages from a single dhtml menu script.


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: I want to be able to have all of the submenus start at the top of the menu. For example, when I hover across each of my menu items in a vertical level, I want the sublevel menu to start at the very top of the menu, not out beside the menu option. How can I achieve this


A: You can have such effect only for the first subitems.
Others subitems will have Y offset.

Please, see the attached example.

You should adjust the following parameters:

  var topDX=-116;
  var topDY=-31;
  var DX=-148;
  var DY=-32;



Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.

I have two problems I am trying to address.

1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.

2) Load time.

Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.

1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.

2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.

Neither one of my commands appear to work.

This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.

A: 1) Now you have:

  var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];

You should set your arrows in the following way:

  var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];

2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

You can also try the following things:

move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:

<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>

...

<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>

It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.



Q: My menu is working very well in IE 7.0, and almost very well in FF 2.0.

In your faq, you mention the following:

Fix for flash in Firefox!
If you don't want the flash to hide under submenus in Firefox you should do the following things:

However, I do want the flash to hide under submenus, like it does in IE when I set   var dmObjectsCheck = 1;

My menu is beneath my flash.


A: If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.

If you don't want to have such effect you should follow these steps.
