2.0 Buttons by Web-Buttons.com v3.0.0

Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Q: Trying to install XP style floating dhtml slide down menu but have these problems:

- Menu does not stay within table cell
- Is not floating

A: > - DHTML slide down menu does not stay within table cell

You're using the floating feature now. Your dhtml slide down menu will float withabsolute position only. So, now you have:

  var tabsolute=1;
  var tleft="1px";
  var ttop="1px";

That is why your dhtml slide down menu does not stay within table cell and hasabsolute position.

Q: Thanks for getting back with me but how do you build the menu?

I opened Deluxe Tuner program to build a menu and there are categories titled common, dimensions, font, appearance etc. and I have NO IDEA what to do?

Can you walk me through the development of a menu?


A: First of all you should add items.
Please, click "Add item" and "Add subitem".
In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items. You can also assign different style for each menuitem (item style and submenu style).
But at first you should create this style. Click "Edit IndividualStyle/Add Style" and set different parameters for the style.

Try to set different parameters of the menu.
In the "Preview window" you can see all your changes.

First of all you should choose menu orientation:
  var isHorizontal = 1; Menu orientation: 0 - vertical, 1 - horizontal.

You can set exact width and height of the menu in the "Dimension"category.

You should set
  var absolutePos=1;
if you want to have absolute positioning menu.

Font style you can set in the "Font" category.

To set color of the menu you should set the following parameters:
  var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
  var menuBorderColor="#C0AF62";
  var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#FCEEB0","#4C99AB"];

Try also to change these parameters:
  var itemSpacing=3;
  var itemPadding="3px";

Arrows for main items and subitems you can set here:
  var arrowImageMain=["default.files/arrowmain.gif","default.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["default.files/arrowsub.gif","default.files/arrowsubo.gif"];

If want to have floatable or movable menu you should set the followingparameters:
  var floatable=0;

  var movable=0;

You can also try to change any template.


Q: I am using javascript dropdown menu - Deluxe Menu 2.0 and have some problem with the doctype declaration.
Is there any need to classify a certain doctype in order to get the menu working correctly?
If we use the XML declaration (like this: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">)
the padding and margin settings of the submenus get lost.
Are there any known solution to fix this?

A: Yes, it happens if you don't specify units in "px" for some dropdown menu parameters.
Please, try to write so:

  var itemPadding="2px";



Q: I have another question:

Menu behavior in SAFARI is does not properly work compared to EXPLORER.

If you have a look at the site via SAFARI, please do the following:

Example:
Under menu "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".

It will then show a left hand menu. Please select "2008/2010".

It will correctly show content.

Then if you try to select again via menu "Projets"; the html menu navigation does not show anymore the submenus. You still need to click a menu without submenus, like "News", and then afterwards you can click "Projets" and the system will again show submenus.

This strange behaviour does not appear in EXPLORER nor in FIREFOX.

A: The problem is in your frame structure after you open "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".

Your menu won't work correctly with such frame structure.

You should use the following frame structure for all pages at once:

--------------------------------------------------------
topFrame with the html menu navigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Algerie_leftFrame |
with | Algerie_mainFrame
Tree Menu |
--------------------------------------------------------
bottomFrame
--------------------------------------------------------

and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);

Or you shouldn't use Algerie_leftFrame and Algerie_mainFrame at all (use one mainFrame) and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
