Q: I have an HTML application with 4 iframes. The main html file contains 3 iframes (top toolbar, left toolbar, and main area) and the menu. The main area iframe contains one additional iframe were the actual data is. When I interact with the data in this last iframe and try to dynamically change the menu in the .html file I get the error message: 'm' is null or not an object

The API call is:

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["test1", "testlink.htm", "", "", "test1m", "_blank", "1"]);

I only have one menu.

I am using IE6

I included these files in both the hta file and the iframe source file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>


A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu (cross-frame mode).

See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-samples/cross-frame-horizontal-1-sample.htm

There is no need to call dmenu_...js files.

<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu_key.js"></script>

You should write:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "./data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./data.files/dmenu.js"></script>

Q: As a part-time webdeveloper I have gotten very interested in your product. I really appreciate a number of things

- it's very flexible
- it's very easy to work with
- examples nicely show the capabilities

But I have a couple of questions:

- When opening a menu, there is an option for keeping the menu-item that has been pressed hightlighed (so that the user can see what he/she pressed). Is it possible, programmatically, to decide when this highlighting should be removed? The scenario is that, when a menu-item is clicked the used might browse for a couple of pages within the context defined by the menu-item, but when the user leaves, the menu-item should no longer be highlighted. I will (programmatically) decide the context, but is it possible for me to interact with the menu, and for example decide explicitly which menu should be highlighted?
- Our design department would like the menu containing the elements: "Skovdrift, Juletreer, Skovrejsning, etc". Please notice that "Brende" is supposed to show a menu item that is hightlighted. Is is possible to create this menu such that it is dynamic and each item is text-based (and not based on two pictures for each menu-entry: hightlighted and not)? I've been wondering how to solve this problem, but I cannot figure out a solution. The problem that I is stuck at, is how organise this speciel "frame" around each menu-element. Something that be partly accomplished using "arrowImageMain", but that does not bring me all the way. Please notice that the menu-items might not have any sub-menu.


A: I suppose that you're saying about
  var pressedItem=-2;
Defines an item that will appear in the highlighted state
(-2 - normal mode, -1 - toggle mode is active, but highlighted item not defined, 0,1,2,3,... - # of pressed item including separators)

This parameter will not approach you.

You should 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: Your product is great. I do have one question for you however.

Right now the dropdown (subitem) menus appear based on the smShowPause variable, and disappear based on the smHidePause variable. It is sometimes awkward for users to mouse off the subitem menu that has dropped down, only to have it still hanging there. Reducing the smHidePause variable is not an option because then the menu often disappears before a user has selected a menu option.

The ideal solution is the have the subitem menu recognize when the user has moused off the menu, and then disappear. Is this possible?
if not, I definitely suggest incorporating it into your next build!


A: Try to set these parameters:

  var transition=0;
  var transOptions="";
  var transDuration=0;
  var transDuration2=0;

  var smShowPause=200;
  var smHidePause=200;
