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.

Q: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?

When I put   var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.

A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:

  var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];

  var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],

Q: I'm confused in how to do this. I want to change the background color of one of the javascript and menu items. If I understand correctly I go to INDIVIDUAL STYLES and should be able to change the background color for one of the menu items there. Under item appearance I tried to change itemBackColor - but I can't seem to make it take affect (I tried clicking OK but its under the Style Names, so thats probably not it.

A: You should click "Edit Individual Styles" button.

On the 'Item Styles' tab click "Add style" button.

Set itemBackColor and click "OK" button.

Select the item you want to change the style for and assign new style for it. Go to Item Parameters window 'Item style' field.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#EB2999,#590937"], //style0
];

  var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0


Q: I used the drop menu creator to create a simple tab example, and I created a simple HTML file to display the tabs. It initially appears fine when the page first displays (e.g., the correct div is hidden), but when I *first* click on a tab I always get a javascript error deep in the .js code. Then I click around a bit between the tabs and get some display problems (no more javascript errors though), until finally the show/hide logic recovers and all looks ok.

The error I initially get is something like “tabs[…].id is not an object”. I have the IE7 debugger turned on, otherwise I might not ever see this error.

FYI, I tried your example menus on your web site and everything is fine! Maybe the .js files on your web site are not the same as those created by the generator?

A: You should set the following parameter in drop menu creator:

  var bselectedSmItem=0;



Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.

#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?


A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
  var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
      ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

  var itemStyles = [
     ["itemWidth=120px"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
     ["smWidth=120px"],
];

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
      ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
      ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;
