Q: There are two of your menus that we wish to incorporate into one. Our main left hand side vertical navigation menu would be an accordion menu. When you click on products in the accordion menu, it would drop down with an indented sub menu. When you hover over a link in the sub menu, your Javascript Scrolling Menu - Smart Scrollable Feature would allow us to have a scrolling sub menu.
I guess my question is can you have two javascript dhtml scroll menus working together in the same page?
A: I'm not sure I understand your question.
Why you should create two menus in that case?
You can create only one vertical menu (left menu) with all submenusand set smart scrollable feature:
var smSmartScroll=1;
That is all. Please try the trial version.
Q: I place all of my files in folders. If I want the Deluxe menu to work I have to have the Deluxe menu saved in each folder for it to work with the files inside those folders.
A: There is no need to copy al files for the menu in each folder.
To install the menu you can use such paths:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: Hello, I am trying out your dhtml menu and would like to load an iframe into one of the menus, how would I go about this?
A: If you want to insert <iframe> object inside a menu item you can do following things.
You can paste any html code into menu items, for example:
["item text <iframe src="link"></iframe>", link, ...]
Q: Is there a different type of menu, other than the way I have it set up, such as the tree type, that might load faster or take up less space when the page loads?
A: You should set
var dmAJAX=1;
create .js files with your submenus and call this files from your mainfile, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Product Info","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax2.js", ],
["Samples","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax3.js", ],
["Purchase","testlink.htm"],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm"],
];
/*** data-ajax2.js ****/
var menuItems = [
["Features","testlink.htm"],
["Installation",""],
["Parameters Info","testlink.htm"],
["Dynamic Functions","testlink.htm"],
["Supported Browsers",""],
];
Add dmenu_ajax.js file in the same folder with your dmenu.js file.
Try that.
