Q: I looked through your FAQ's to solve my problem of trying to make the background of the top dhtml slide menu transparent. I set the itemBackColor to transparent and also menuBackColor to transparent. Do I have to changeanother setting to activate this? Right now it is currently white and I can't even find a spot that would make it white, unless it's just white by default.
A: Check that you haven't set background color in the Individual Styles.
Q: Is it possible to insert a dhtml foldout menu item at the top of the submenu? For example, if a dhtml foldout menu is defined as:
var menuItems = [
["Search","","","","","","1","0"],
["|Residential","srch.php","","","","","0"],
["|VacantLand","srch.php?cri","","","","","0"],
["|Commercial/Industrial","srch.php","","","","","0"]];
How can I add a new item above “Residential?” I’ve tried the following with no luck — the forth argument does not seem to be used:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 1, ["New Sample", "testlink.htm", "", "", "Your Sample Tooltip", "middle", 0], 0)
A: To insert item in the specific position you should use thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Q: A lot of things have come in between... Just a few more Q's before I order.
1)
At the bottom of the page you refer to below, there is a table showing the tmenuItems array, itemInd and " submenuInd ". But in the examples on the same page, the function "dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex" takes the arguments (menuInd, itemInd). Is the argument "menuInd" the same as "submenuInd" referred to in the javascript menu design??
2)
When I highlight an item on "onload" I need to expand that item's parent(s), right? What will happen to other, already expanded nodes when I do that? Will they still be expanded or collapsed?
A: 1) menuInd is the index of a tree menu on a page, >= 0.
First menu - menuInd=0
Second menu - menuInd=1
Third menu - menuInd=2
Fourth menu - menuInd=3
...
2) Yes, the already expanded nodes will be expanded.
Q: Will tab titles ever automatically wrap?
Is there a way to force a wrap of a tab title in a tab menu java?
A: No, unfortunately, tab menu cannot wrap item text automatically.
But you can use
tag within item text, for example
var bmenuItems = [
["Item 1 text <br> text text text <br> text text text ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
