Recent Questions

Q: One other question, how do you get the menu bar to highlight and stay on the page you are viewing rather than highlighting home the whole time.


A: You should 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 am not able to get the Keystrokes function to work.  The variable is set to 1 on both parameters and it is set at 113 for the F2 function key but it is not highlighting anything on the horizontal menu I have, any ideas?

A: Please check that you have dmenu_key.js file in the same folder withyour dmenu.js file.

You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.



Q: I just need to know if there is a way of establishing the width at "runtime" in the javascript dynamic menu so that my frame in my frameset can be widened accordingly.

A: There are no special parameters for menu dimensions.
But you can use submenu IDs. For example, top-menu has ID"dmXXXm0"

Where XXX - menu index. So, first menu on the page has ID "dm0m0".
So, you can determine menu dimensions so:

document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetWidth
document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetHeight

You can also use Javascript API functions to take submenu IDs.



Q: We are using your menu in a website here under development:

There is a problem with mac browsers - safari and firefox. The flash stops and goes blank when the html menu dropsdown.

We have tried numerous fixed including the one outlined on your website here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html

Here is the link to our html menu file link/file to the menus: -> http://domain.org.au/js/menu

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

A: Now you hide your flash on MAC using the following function:

function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}

Try to delete this function, try to set the following parameter also:
  var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
