Q: I have the cursor set as pointer – on some of the top menu items there is no link behind it yet the cursor still turns to a pointer.
Is there any way to have it so it only becomes a pointer if there is a link?
A: Unfortunately, you can set different cursor type for the menu items.
Q: As I have stated before, your Deluxe-Menu is very very good.
But there is allways room for improvement.
Is there any chance to see support for the following in Deluxe-Menu:
When I move the mousepointer above a menuitem and right-click I would like to see in the javascript contextual menu (the context menu provided by the browser):
Open Link in new window
Open Link in new tab
If the above is not possible or not something you want to enable.... then, there should be possible to make a workaround to make this work:
I see there is support for custom javascript contextual menus.....
.... is there any possibility to make a custom context menu that show above a menuitem and that show when right clicking on the menuitem.
Should hopefully be possible to create in such way that I create one context menu in javascript (the deluxe menu way... ) , but when clicking on "Open link in new window" from that custom menu, then the JS code should call a javascript function of mine (or yours), with a parameter related to the menuitem that was right-clicked...
And this javascript function should be able to resolve the actual URL (based on the input parameter rel. to the menuitem) and then open a new window using window.open()
If not possible to implement using the native browser context menu, then I belive it should be possible to do it using my workaround how to.....
Just a thought....
Any suggestions on how I can make the workaround work, or if maybe you could support the workaround in some way in future releases of Deluxe-Menu?
A: Yes, there is a workaround.
You can write your items in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com' class="link">test test test</a>",""],
You should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}Q: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?
A: You can do it in three ways now.
1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:
function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.
3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I have to find out, how the javascript tree control is NOT expanding in the beginning..
A: You should set the following parameter:
var texpanded=0;
Use + signs before items text to expand some items:
["+Land","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
