Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Recent Questions

Q: Do you plan to implement a fix in the cross browser drop down menu for the pointer - many of our users have complained that it is very un-intuitive - surely it must be possible to change the pointer to a hand if there is a link. I have tried putting <a> tags in to the menu labels, but it only changes to a hand if the actual label text is highlighted - it obviously should change whichever part of the box is highlighted? Is there no other workaround?


A: If you set the following parameter:
  var itemCursor="pointer";

You'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.

Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:

["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
 ["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],

In all items with links you should use <a> tag.

Set this parameter:
  var itemCursor="default";


Q: I am curious why there are no font settings for "Individual Styles" for"Submenu styles".

Basically I want to have a different font and color for my submenu items so they appear differently than the normal primary Items - but it seems there is only two options for fonts:

- The global font parameters affecting all fonts (primary and sub).
- And the Individial Styles for primary Item Styles.

Why no font paramenters for Submenu Items?


A: You can assign Item Style for the submenu item too.

See the example:

  var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=normal 13px Comic Sans MS"], //item style 0
];
  var menuStyles = [
];

["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
   ["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0


Q: I'm creating a "Clear" style dhtml menu and for whateverreason it automatically spaces the menu items unevenly.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to set the spacing evenly.

A: Try to set exact width for each top item using Individual Item Styles:

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

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];



Q: I am having a problem trying to get my scrolling menu javascript to work correctly with frames.

My web page is frame based. There are THREE (3) Rows. The top roe is "header" and the bottom row is "footer". The center row is divided into TWO (2) columns. The left is "contents" and the right is "main". This is a very standard configuration.

I have created a menu called "member-menu" and added it to the "content" html file. I have edited the "member-menu.js" file to add the "dm_initFrame("FrmSet",0,1,0); at the end of the file. Using the instruction provided when the scrolling menu javascript was saved. I then uploaded all of the required file to my server. At this point everything is fine, I go to a password protected page in the "\members" folder and this seems to work also. When I try to go to a "submenu" it wants to expand to the right in the "content" FRAME. I need it to expand into the "main" FRAME on the right.

I know that I am doing something wrong. I have read the instructions a dozen times and can't find the problem.

A: You should write the ID of your frames correctly, for example now youhave:

header - 0
contents - 1 (frame with the menu)
main - 2 (frame with submenus)
bootom - 3

In that case you should write init function in the following way:

dm_initFrame("FrmSet",1,2,1);

where - dm_initFrame("FrmSet",frame with the menu,frame with submenus,1);

Try that.
