Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Setup menu parameters manually or using De Luxe Tuner. Then add some rows of a code within html page code and your menu is ready!
  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.
  • Ability to handle the menu from the keyboard via keystrokes.

Recent Questions

Q: I like your product and we would like to use it for our web-site.

Our site uses Frames with the following names in the FrameSet:

frame name = “top”
frame name = “middle”
frame name = “bottom”

I don’t understand how to set the target of the Deluxe Tuner navigational link to populate the frame “middle” or “bottom”

When I try to input my own name it will not allow me to do so.

We are using the “top” (horizontal) frame as a header which will contain the navigational component we developed using your product.

We are using the “middle” frame to contain most of the html pages the user will load

We are using the “bottom” frame to contain auxiliary text

Can you help me?


A: More info about the installation of the menu in cross-frame mode youcan find here

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

You should replace dm_init() function with dm_initFrame() function.
Please, open your data.js file with the menu parameters in any texteditor and change it.
You should write, for example so:

dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 0);


Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.

What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?

I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html

And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.


A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.

If you have, for example such file structure:

     deluxe-menu_files/
      dmenu.js
      data.js
     images/
     html_pages/
      page1.html
      page2.html

     index.html

So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
    ["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
    ["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
    ["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: I've finally got it working and it looks good. So thanks. But... unfortunally there's still a small problem wich occured after I got everything else working: No matter if I set the parmeter "  var texpanded" to '1' or '0' it expands by default tree menu javascript. Why?

I also have another question I forgot to ask you about earlier: Originally I only had the data.js file but in the non-profit zip file you gave me there was no "data.js" file, only "data-tree.js". Wich one will the script use? Do I need both? The javascript call I put where I want the menu to appear calls for "DATA. js". So what good does the "data-TREE.js" file do?

I include the "data.js" file if you need to have a look at it. The "data-tree. js" file is identical now that I changed all the "  var tmenuItems" at the bottom). (The "menu.html" I guess you can look at yourself by "View source".)

Also, the submenus where I would like to put XP style menus are not finished yet but for now I have the same "tree" script in them. They are under "DART/dartspel.html", and on six artist discographys under MUSIK: Edguy, Katie Melua, Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Magnus Uggla. This is if you'ld like to see the sub pages where I use other "copys" of Deluxe-tree. (I hope you don't mind that the "Illegal copyright" nag is very small. It's supposed to dissapear anyway with the new Non-profit license).

A: 1) See the structure of your tmenuItems is incorrect now.

You should write:
["->HEM (Klicka f?r meny)","welcome.html", "data.files/hem.gif", "data.files/hem2.gif", "data.files/hem.gif", "Startsidan", "right", "", ],
Without '|' symbol in the beginning.

2) You should write tleft parameter correctly. Now you have:

//--- Positioning
  var tabsolute=1;
  var tleft="00px";
  var ttop="10px";

Write it in the following way:
  var tleft="10px";

3) data-tree.js file is the default tree menu javascript file. There is no need to use it if you already haveyour data.js file.


Q: Hi, I have recently purchased delux menu from your website.

I have bought it because I build websites, and some of them in thai language.

But I don’t think down menu java script support Thai. Is that correct?


A: You should create the menu in Thai language in the same way as you use this language on your page.

You cannot enter Thai characters in Deluxe Tuner. You should add these characters manually in any text editor.

You should set
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=windows-874">
on your html page.
