Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Q: I am having some difficulty dynamically adding items to a tree javascript and menu.

I have a menu with one "root" item. I see the use of the "+" symbol within the item name. I do not see any documentation regarding this symbol, only "|". Can you explain?

If I have one menu with this one "root" node, how would I add an subitem to this root node?

Here is my code so far, but the inserted items appear to be at the same level as the root node.

  var rootItem = dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex ( 0,0 );

  var menuItem = new Array(10);
for (   var i = 0; i < producers.length; i++ )
{
  var producer = producers[ i ];
menuItem[0] = producer.name;

dtreet_ext_insertItem ( 0, 0, i + 1, menuItem );

A: See dtreet_ext_insertItem () function has the following parameters:

function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)

Creates a new item and inserts it into a specified position.
menuInd - index of a javascript and menu on a page, >= 0.
parentItemID - ID property of an item.<, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a new item within the javascript and menu, >= 0.
itemParams - item parameters.

Notice that parentItemID is the Id property of the parent item (notindex). If you want to add top items you should set parentItemID=0.

itemInd - you should use this parameter if you want to add item in thespecific place, for example set itemInd=5 if you want to add itembefore the existing item with itemInd=5.
If you set itemInd=null the new item will be added at the end of this submenu and its index will be added automatically.



Q: I need to know how to have the background in the main items of the dynamic menu transparent, and then the sub-menus a different translucent color.

A: To set transparent background for the menu you should set:

  var menuBackColor="transparent";
  var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];

and use Individual Item Styles for your submenus:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8EE8E1,#26BBB0"], //style0
["itemBackColor=#F4B7FB,#E65AF5"], //style1
];

  var menuItems = [

Q: I am having a lot of trouble trying to get the menu to work properly. I want to make sure that I get it working before I make the licesning purchase.

The menu is to be CSS based but while I have the main menu somewhat in location, none of the settings are correct. Can you help?


A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
To get the value you should move .css style into style="POSITION: relative;" attribute.

Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css

Try to write so:
<DIV id=if-navbar style="POSITION: relative;">


Q: I want frameless popup window to appear when an image is clicked,
but at the moment it appears automatically on page load..

A: You can specify the ID of the element you want to click on.
Actions sections in Deluxe Tuner, onClick parameter.

1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage.
For example you have:

<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>

So, in Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.

Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.

2) You can also use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.

More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")

Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file if you don't want to close 1-st popup window
or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.

content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.
