Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Q: I have now re-uploaded the data files.
The online dhtml menu works fine in Internet Explorer but, comparing the load time of IE with Firefix, Firefox is considerable faster.
I just wondered whether there was a faster way to force it to load in IE.

A: Try to set the following parameter:

  var dm_writeAll=0;



Q: We have several problems with your menu.
Notice when trying to select a drop down item…the item disappears, rather than holding in place as the mouse is over the menu item.

Second, we’d like to know how to expand the width of the main headers and sub headers. Currently, they are not of the same width.

Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new fonts to match the branding of the menu items.
Please let us know where we can find instructions to make these modifications/customizations.


A: Please, try to write your menuItems parameter correctly.
You should set "iconOver" parameter for each item (you can set "").
Please, see how you should write your menuItems:

["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
     ["|Contestants","experience_contestants.php","","","_self","2",,,],
...

You should use Individual styles, for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","arrowImageMain=image1,image2=home_out.gif,home_over.gif"],     // style 0
["itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#AA0000,#0000FF"],     // style 1
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"],     // style 2
];

  var menuItems = [
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
    ["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
...

For submenus you should set the following parameter:

  var smWidth="150px";

> Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new

You should also use Individual styles.
But you should set this parameter:

  var fontStyle="";
And then use different fonts for your items.


Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.

#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?


A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
  var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
      ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

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

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
      ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
      ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;


Q: I am spending a lot more time and have figured a few things out. One more question please: How do I specify the target link I want a dhtml submenu to go to?

I see HREF specified in the code, but no where in the program to specify it.


A: See, the following parameter sets target for all items

  var itemTarget="_self";

If you want to set different target for each item you should set it inthe "Item Parameters" window. Choose your item in the main window andset target in the target field.
