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.

Recent Questions

Q: Will this menu rollout from within an iframe over a regular frame underneath it?


A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. They work with objects only.
All they can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.


Q: I played with it and I got the tabs java script horizontal menu to work. but having problems with them:

1. I want the tabs to open when you mouse over them, not when you click. Is it possible to do this?

2. I want the tabs to close when your mouse leave them. Can I do this?

3. It keeps saying "Incorrect key" when you click on them. Is it possible to fix them?

A: No, unfortunately it is not possible in Deluxe Tabs.

But you can use Deluxe Menu to create such java script horizontal menu.

To create such menu you should set the following parameters:

  var smOrientation=1; //horizontal orientation of submenus
  var subMenuAlign="pleft"; //submenu position (left align)
  var smHidePause=-1; //your submenus won't be hidden till you click orscroll the page.

"Incorrect Key" message means that you didn't paste your reg. key into data.js filewith your menu.

You should paste your key parameter into .js file where your java script horizontal menuparameters (vars) and items (  var bmenuItems) are placed.You should paste the following code at the beginning of the file:

/*
Deluxe Menu Data File
Created by Deluxe Tuner v3.2
http://deluxe-menu.com
*/

  var key="XXXXXX";

// -- Deluxe Tuner Style Names

Where XXXXX the key from your license message.
Try to clear also browser cache.

Notice your key will work on registered domain only. It won't work onlocal machine.



Q: I am getting stuck with trying to set a default tab in the div tab menu to be selected when a window opens...
What I've been trying to do is changing this line here :

  var bselectedItem=0;

At 0 (default) it has the first tab selected. Any other number and notabs are selected.
Is there a setting somewhere else that I am missing?A: You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD&tg;




Q: Is it possible to change the mouseover font style to bold within the deluxe menu?


A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can't change font weight.
If you want to do that you can paste your own <div> withinitem's text field and change a font yourselves.

For example:

***

function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
}

  var menuItems = [

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>item text</div>", link, ...]

];
