Q: Typically in order to generate a menu with multiple layers I’d put a pipe character in front of the menu text.. For example:
["|Page Admin","/admin/handoutadmin.php", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Student Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=1", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Teacher Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=2", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Family Letters","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=4", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Transparencies","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=3", , , , "_new", , , , ],
However, when I try to do it with dm_ext_addItem it actually SHOWS the pipe character and doesn’t create any menu levels at all.
For example:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Add a Handout to this Lesson", "", "", "", "", "", ""]);
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Student Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
How can I generate multiple levels of the menu with javascript?
A: I suppose that your code is not valid
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
Try to write it in the following way:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
Q: When I load a page the first tab of the creating tab menu is always highlighted, not the contact tab.
A: I suppose that you've set the following parameter:
var bselectedItem=1;
So, the first tab is always highlighted.
This Tab menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
( var bselectedItem, var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-sidescript (php, asp, etc.)
You should delete this parameter from your data file and write thefollowing code
on each page before you call your data file, for example:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem = 3;
</script>
Q: I have a question that I cannot find in your FAQ section about your Deluxe Tree Menu.
Bought the whole set a few days ago and is very happy about it, I am uzzled & frustrated about one thing now though.
- = Link
+ = Link with subCat.
I have a menu that looks something like this:
- Home
+ Our products
+ FAQ
+ Stores
- Contact
+ Wholeseller
+ About us
Now every link here has a icon/s to the right that shows if the category is folded up or not. Trouble is that so has the - Home and - Contact that DON'T have any subitems! How to create dhtml menu so those two tree items won't get the rightsided icons?
The frustrating/confusing thing is if I place - Home or - Contact into lets say + Our products, the right side icon goes away and there it looks as I want it. But I NEED it to look this way in the top section.
A: You have icons in the top items on the right side in XP-style only.
You can set the following parameter to turn off XP-style:
var tXPStyle=0;
Q: Hi, I have recently purchased delux menu from your website.
I have bought it because I build websites, and some of them in thai language.
But I don’t think down menu java script support Thai. Is that correct?
A: You should create the menu in Thai language in the same way as you use this language on your page.
You cannot enter Thai characters in Deluxe Tuner. You should add these characters manually in any text editor.
You should set
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=windows-874">
on your html page.
