Q: I created a test page with your product. I have a frame page consisting of a header and content.
The drop down menus are in the header and cross nicely into the content frame when they drop down. This part is working as planned! The first time I open the test page in my browser any link in any drop down menu will work the first time just fine.
Then, if I pick another link in any drop down menu, it appends the address of the first link to the address of the second link and the URL fails.
It is acting like it writes the url for the first link into some variable, then forgets to null it on select, and then appends the url for the second link to the variable. As I click links in different drop down menus it keeps doing this append feature until I have a very long worthless URL path. If I close the browser and start over then the first thing I click on will work properly, but that is all that will work.
I tried this test page on two different PCs, just in case there was a problem on my browsers. MS IE.6.0
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: If you click a list drop menu link in the tree that opens a new page, for example, Solutions:By Type:Psuedo Wire , the link, Psuedo Wire, remains highlighted.
If you click a line that targets _self, for example, Solutions: By Type: T1 Extender, the link does not remain highlighted. My web app will need highlighting and all links will target _self. I have to solve this problem soon or else look elsewhere.
A: It is normal behaviour, your list drop menu can save its state within one page only.
You can try to use frames, and open pages in the content frame. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server (we use this method on our website
http://deluxe-tree.com).
You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
To expand specific items you should use the following function: dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: We have found that some of the menu /sub menu trees do not "collapse" when youclick on another item of the web tree view Do you have any suggestions as to what we can look at to correct the problem?
A: Check the following parameters:
var tcloseExpanded=1;
var tcloseExpandedXP=1;
Q: I have a new poblem. The submenus of my dropdown menu php are going up instead of down.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
