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: Here is a snapshot from the javascript drop down menu:

["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],

 ["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],

 ["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],

If I click on test1 which is a Norwegian newspaper, it works.

But it I click on test2 which is a link to my page – it does not work.

A: You cannot use "" symbols within menuItems. It is not correct.
Try to write your javascript drop down menu items in the following way:

["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
 ["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
 ["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],



Q: I have downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Menu and am seriously looking at buyingit. I am trying to go thro the instructions and check out if it meets my requirement.

I am not able to figure out how to equally space out all my menu items on the javascript menu bar.

My menu bar width is fixed at 800 px and I have 7 items - horizontal type. The menuitems widths appear different for the menu items. How do I ensure that all of them are ofequal size ??



A: Set width for the items using Individual styles:

  var itemStyles=[
["itemWidth=100px"],
] //style 0
Assign Individual Styles for the menu Items.

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Item 2",", "data2.files/icon1.gif", "data2.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0
];


Q: I’m trying to set up Ajax dhtml menu tree script but it doesn’t work..

A: To enable AJAX Tree Menu use the following menu parameters:

  var tajax=1;

Then set your menu in such way:

  var tmenuItems = [
["Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", "data-samples/data-ajax5.js", ],
["+Samples Gallery","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
 ["|Samples Block 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
 ["|Samples Block 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
 ["|Samples Block 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
];

Each .js file must contain menuItems variable for the submenu in the following format:

  var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, icon1, icon2, icon2, tip, target, itemStyle, submenuStyle, jsFileName],];

Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server that contains tmenuItems variable for the submenu.For example:

  var tmenuItems = [
["Home","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax2.js", ],
["Samples","", "", "", "", "Samples Tip", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax4.js", ],
["Purchase","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "Purchase Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
["Support","", "", "", "", "Support Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Write Us","mailto:[email protected]", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Q: I need to know if all these products are search engine friendly?
If the content within the javascript menu is easily spidered and indexed.?


A: Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.

To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
