Q: Is it possible via code customization to remove the border only forthe top level of js dropdown menu?
A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];
And assign it for top items:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["|Sample 2 is Disabled","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
];

Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: Is it possible to show a menu item in the simple navigation bar as selected by default to indicate what the current page is?
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page.
That is why you should write your own code on PHP.Q: We are interested in using your dropdown menu code for our site but we do have a question.
When the dropdown menu code viewed in IE7 everything is fine but when I view it in opera or firefox browsers the menu bar is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
summary="Quaker Meadows Menu">
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table> is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
A: Try to set exact width for the dropdown menu code in "px". It helps to position themenu correctly in all browsers.
var menuWidth="500px";
