Q: I want javascript navigation menu to lock into place when someone visits a page. Is there a way to do this?
A: Try to set the pressed item using the following API function:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dynamic menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
parentOpen = true/false - open all submenus to show the selected item
See example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Try to click 'Highlight "Product Info/Installation/Description ofFiles" item'.
You can also try to use the following parameter:
var smHidePause = 1000;
A delay (in ms) between mouse is moved from submenu and its closing.
You can make submenus to stay visible till you click outside the menu or scroll your page.
To enable this feature you should set this parameter in the following way: var smHidePause = -1;
Q: For each item in my menu, can I specify an image in place of text or background?
A: If you want to use images instead item text, you should useindividual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=200", "itemBackImage=image1.gif,image2.gif"], // style 0
["itemWidth=150", "itemBackImage=image3.gif,image4.gif"], // style 1
];
var menuItems = [
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0"],
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "1"],
];
Where "0", "1" - style number in itemStyles.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner application to create and assign individualstyles. You can find Deluxe Tuner in the trial package.
Q: I have a question, How can I open a new window of a specific dimension?
I Know how to use the “_blank” property to open a new window. But then how can I indicate the size of the new Window?
Can you please help me?
A: You should use a Javascript code with a link field so:
["Text", "javascript:window.open('../Help/Text_Index.htm', 'Help', 'height=450,width=600,scrollbars');"]
Try that.
Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
