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: What I want to do is use your XP Tabs Template.
It appears fine in the Preview Pane but when I load it on my web page the sub-items are all listed on the same line as the tabs.

A: If you want to create subtabs in your menu you should use Tab Mode
  var tabMode=1;
and write your bmenuItems in the following way:

  var bmenuItems = [

["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|SItem 226","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|SXP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
but in that case you can't assign the ID of the DIV to show when youclick on the tab. You can set the links only.



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 = [

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: What can I tell people who aren't seeing their drop-down menu? For example, I have a client who can't see his on his machine, while I can on see the menu on one of my machines but not the other.

Please advise what makes the difference and how to correct the problem.

A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

A: You can create Individual Item styles and assign it for the top items,for example:
  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE"],//style1
];

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
 ["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
