Recent Questions

Q: Our company has been using the trial version of Deluxe Menu and was satisfied enough with initial integration efforts to acquire the license version.

We are interested in making our main dhtml rollover menu items a constant width, but the data.js parameters (  var menuWidth="800px";   var menuHeight="30px";   var smWidth="";   var smHeight="";) don't seem to give us that capability. We dynamically remove main menu items based on user roles and when we do the main menu always re-sizes and the remaining main menu item widths no longer match our sub-menu widths. We're able to adjust for this by using the API but that seems to be a lot of unnecessary coding. If we could keep each main menu item a fixed width, our sub-menu widths would not have to change.

Do you have information on how to accomplish fixed main menu item widths, even better would be an example?

A: Actually you can specify the width and of all or individual dhtml rollover menu items or submenus usingIndividual Item/Submenu styles.

Q: Hello. We need some tech support regarding our deluxe menu.

All of our pages that have the menu code on them are suddenly giving status bar errors that say: "Done, but with errors on page"

When pulling up the error details, the dialog says:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

On pages that do not have the menu at all, we're not getting the error.


A: Now you have such code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript">
<!--

  var dmWorkPath = "menu/";

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
  var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

So, your menu cannot find   var dmWorkPath = "menu/"; parameter on yourpage.

Try to write your code in the following way:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menu/";</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></SCRIPT>

Q: I evaluated Deluxe Menu over the weekend and I really like it. I believe I'll be buying it this week. I have one question. Is it possible for the menu to be aware of what page you have selected and highlight the corresponding menu item on that page.


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 tried the following for subitem and it worked but not working with the "Title item" (Group or header item), is there a way to process onclick for the title item? Thanks again.

You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:
  var tmenuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];

A: Unfortunately, title items doesn't allow to use Javascript in the sameway.
But you can do the following:

  var tmenuitems = [
["<div onclick='your_code_here'>title text</div>"]
];
