Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?  

I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed  in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?

A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.

So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.

For example you have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3

So, for the second menu you should write:

dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)



Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.



Q: I need to work it with PHP/MySQL. I have found some information on it in your Support section, but have problems to understand and wonder if you have more information or a working sample of the loading bar with PHP/ MySQL.

A: Info about generating menu (menu items )from a database, please, see:

http://deluxe-menu.com/generate-menu-from-database-xml-php-asp-vb-support.html
Please, see the example of .php file.
The content of .php file depends on your database structure.


<?php

// The example for PHP/MySQL.
// MySQL database has the table "menuTable" that contains data for menu items.
// The table has the following fields:
// 1. "text" - item text
// 2. "link" - item link
// 3. "icon1" - item icon (normal state)
// 4. "icon2" - item icon (mouseover state)
function getMenuItems()
{
$jsItems = '';

// Select all records from table "menuTable"
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;');

// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
{
$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
}

// Return Javascript code
return $jsItems;
}

?>

<script>
  var menuParam1 = value1;
  var menuParam2 = value2;
  var menuParam2 = value2;
...

  var menuItems = [

<?php

// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();

?>

];

</script>



Q: A brief one on dynamic menu in the perspective of bilinguism

I understood from the tuner that a menu can be made dynamic (although it is somewhat minimally documented ;-))

Leaving alone all the beautiful sophisticated and complex mechanic of it

Say I have my main menu that says :
  var dynamic=1; (that's all I got from the doc ..)

And then

  var menuItems = [

["Choice 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choice 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["Choice 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choice 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Minimalist ? ;-) right ?

1/ first I'm not too sure about what exactly in order are these 11 parameters although I'm fine with the only 4 I have here

2/ if I would want to change on the fly menu javascript dropdown page on a PHP parameter Page1.php?lang=French (I perfectly master how to capture the PHP value)

So that My menu becomes on the fly

["Choix 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choix 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choix 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choix 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this

PS : And although I used hardly 1% of deluxe capability my first customer is very happy about it..

A: Actually you can find all info about the menu javascript dropdown parameters and featureson our website:

- menu parameter and items, Individual Styles:

To change the menu items on the fly you can use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
