Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Q: Shall I have to call the main egine file of the javascript menu maker - dmenu.js twice if I want to install two menus on the page.

The second script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.files/dmenu.js"></script>

Is for the top navigation menu, the datahscounseling is for the side menu. If I delete that line won't my top navigation be gone?

A: No, when you have several menus on the same page you should calldmenu.js file only once and then call several data files.

You should install the menus in the following way:

<head>
...
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>Javascript Menu Maker by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "datahscounseling.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datahscounseling.files/dmenu.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2007, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
...
</head>
<body>
...
<TD height=25 colSpan=3 class=style1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.js"></script></TD>
...
<td width="180" height="307" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="ffffff"><div align="left">
<script type="text/javascript" src="datahscounseling.js"></script></DIV>
...
</body>

Both menu will work correctly in that case.

See the example I've sent you. It works fine.

Q: I would like to create navigation menu where the background is transparent until you move the mouse over itwhen it turns to a color. I erased the first color number from the list and that worked, but when I scrolled the mouse over the links, the background stayed light blue even though the mouse was no longer over them. Is there a way to let the background start transparent, turn light blue when the mouse is over it, then go back to transparent after the mouse is off it?

A: You can use transparent parameter, for example:

  var itemBackColor=["transparent","#4792E6"];



Q: Is there a way to make the dhtml pull down menu not reset after a link is clicked.
Now every time I click a link in the tree menu it takes me to the linked page
but all the menus re-expand.

A: When user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page and the script re-create the menu.
If you want to open the needed section automatically on load you can use the following:

1. Save the state to cookies

  var tsaveState=0;

2. Use frames

3. Put the special script on each page of site that will open appropriate section:

(dtreet_ext_expandItem)
