Q: My site has three levels of a folder structure. Can I create a menu that will allow me to link in and out of folders? Or must I design three menu's with different link locations.
A: You can use one menu.
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: I've got an xp style menu that I'm trying to place within a table... Things are not rendering as I'd expect
I am trying to put the menu in the left column of the table, a form on the right side, and then center the entire table.
The html table is surrounded by a center tag (have tried a div tag with no difference).
It appears the xp menu is obeying the center tag, but not keeping it relative to the containing table...
How can I fix this issue? I have also attached the html source code as it is rendered in the browser in case that is of some use.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var tabsolute = 0;
You're using absolute position for the menu now.
Q: Hello. I have noticed that when you expand a menu and then click to another page, the menu is collapsed on the next page. I read about "state saving" and tried the parameter which did not work. Is there a way to accomplish this?
A: You can see the example for state saving here:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html
This menu saves its state.
To enable this mode you should include dtree_ss.js file intoyour html page and set the following parameter:
var tsaveState = 1;
See, if you open pages (with menus) from different folder itmeans that you open different menus. So, when you change a state, forexample, of the first menu within "content/" folder and then openanother page with the menu within "content/subfolder/", browsers looks for anothercookie file and can't find it and the second menu stays in a defaultstate. Is it clear?
Q: we want to be able to specify a certain height (or number of items) for the main menu after which a new column is created.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a number of items after which a new column is created.
But you can use blank items and create Individual Style for theseitems.
For example:
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 42","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 44","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
