Build right-click menus for your site. For this purpose you should appoint a peculiar method for the object you want. The current X,Y of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the context menu.
Design menus absolutely based on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is possible to apply the personal CSS styles for every elements of the menu.
When the submenu is bigger than the visible page area, the size of submenu will be automatically decreased. To view all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automagically scrolled! You can also define width and height for each submenu.
Q: I've been trying to get the menu item in dynamic tree menu to stay highlighted when clicked on and directed to that page.
A:Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 4 //index of the selected item onload=setPressed; function setPressed() { dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i)); }
To expand specific items you should use the following function: dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: I can see that you can have multi menus on the same page can you have multi tabs? I did create two different tab menus and when I put them on the same page they display correctly but you cannot navigate to the required web pages.
A: You can use as many tabs on the one page as you want.
But notice that you should call dtabs.js file on each page only once. There is no need to call it several times on the one page.
