Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

Recent Questions

Q: I have one more question before I purchase a license: is there a way to use images instead of text as the javascript menu object items?

A: Yes, you can create image-based menu.

If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]


Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.

Here is my code:
  var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
  var arrowWidthSub=0;
  var arrowHeightSub=0;
  var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];

Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?

A: You should check the following parameter:

  var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";

Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.

For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html

In menu.js file you should write:
  var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
  var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];

or
  var pathPrefix_img="";
  var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];


Q: I now have a menu that I like. Works great, but not with the Explorer browser. Works perfectly with Firefox and Opera. Doesn't work with Explorer. I tried using Explorer installed on several computers at different installations - at home, work and at a friends house. So it doesn't appear to be anything specific to my version. I don't have high security enabled.

Can you identify my problem? I've spent hours trying to fix this.


A: Please, see your menu parameters. Now you have:

  var itemBackColor = ["#0","#ffffff"];
It is not right.

You should write for example so:
  var itemBackColor = ["#0000FF","#ffffff"];


Q: Where do I increase the width of the javascript menu bars for each entry? Some of my links are a bit longer than the image and it's causing it to use part of another gif to cover it. Sorry not sure if I even explained that right. Let me know if this makes sense.

A: I suppose that you're using Vista style templates.

The width of vista images is 94px. If the width of your menu itemis wider than 94px you should correct the width of the images in anygraph editor, for example in Photoshop. You should set the width ofthese images 120px and set the following parameter:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=bold 10pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#F8FF95","itemBackImage=columbine.files/btn_orange.gif,columbine.files/btn_orange2.gif"],
];

You can also try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items:

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';
