  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.

Q: I have created a test page using deluxe menu and would like the menu to appear in the centre of a frame. I have tried usind <div> and <table> tags and while either gives correct results with Internet Explorer, neither gives correct results with Mozilla.


A: Try to set exact value for menuWidth, for example:

  var menuWidth="130px";


Q: I downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner and love the menus it makes. I'm havinga major problem centering the expandable menu in a table. I'm using FrontPage 2002 but added thescript into the page via notepad. No matter what I try, the expandable menu stays on the left ofthe table. Do you have any suggestions? I'm sure you must have a list of problemsassociated with FrontPage. Can you please help me?


A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the followingparameter and install the menu in the following way:

  var absolutePos=0;

<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/dmenu.js"></script>
</div>

<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript"
src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>


Q: The asp drop down menu should indicate with on which page I me just considers
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, but
you can highlight menu items in two ways:

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>

...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also 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: Can you please give me tips on how I can style all menuitems to have font bold when selected and normal font when not selected?

A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.

You can set menu item's font bold onMouseover, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-templates/vista-style-7-template-sample.html

You should addthe following code in your data file:

function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}

  var tmenuItems = [

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
