Q: I have images that I want to use for the top level of the menu. How do I create a menu using images that were created in a different program? I tried to look in the frequently asked questions but IcouldnТt find anything that told me how. Thank you in advance for your help.
A: You can use any image for the top items.
You can set
var itemBackImage=["",""];
Or, create Individual style
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
The new method of making image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
Q: Just wondering if you could help.I wish to put a script java menu on every page of my site - through all the folders etc.
How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
A: 1) How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
You should use absolute path here:
1. Paste the following code into a tag of your page:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://site.com/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
2. Paste the following code where you want to have the menu:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/data.js"></script>
2) How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
If you don't want to create your menu on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
Q: From your website, I see that you are able to populate a menu through ASP/VB, but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.
How exactly do you use an ASP script to generate the menu items for the dynamic menu?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
