Q: I was wondering if there is a way to disable links in the dhtml context menu on a page.
A: To disable your menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying drop down menus with the JavaScript API?
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: I am evaluating your Deluxe Tuner / Tab program and was wondering how to add content below the tabs, like you have on your site.
You have the tabs, then a content area below each tab. How is this done with your product.
A: You should use ID attribute of object to show in the second parameterof bmenuItems. You set it in the "Item Parameters" window ("Link"parameter).
You should also set:
var tabMode = 0;
So, you'll have, for example, the following bmenuItems:
["tab text","div1", ...],
["tab text","div2", ...], Here "div1" and "div2" is IDs of objects within your html page, for example:
<div id="div1">text 1</div>
<div id="div2">text 2</div>
You can also see examples, which you can find in the trial package.
Q: I was trying out the Vista samples and was able to change the sub-item font size but not the cascade menu javascript item(s) font size. Is this by design?
A: You should change font for the main items in the Individual Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
Try that.
