Q: What I would like to see is the ability to have a base site navigation menu with all the definitional entries (size, locations, icons, etc.) defined but all the menuitems be called from an Ajax file.
A: You cannot use ajax submenus for the top items.
But you can use several .js file, for example:
params.js //file with all menu parameters (size, locations, icons, etc.)
all code before
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
data_ajax1.js //data files for ajax submenus
data_ajax2.js
data_ajax3.js
...
main_data.js - data file with the following code:
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
You can also place this code into your html page directly (in the place where you want tohave a menu):
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
