Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

Recent Questions

Q: I have a menu defined that displays and operates correctly in a page. However, if I place that same page in an iFrame the menu displays correctly BUT the texpanded parameter no longer works.
If I copy the contents of the iFrame and run it again in a new window, it all works fine again.

Is there something special I need to do in an iFrame?


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


Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".

How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.

Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.

Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.

If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.

You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.

Q: Java sub menu not working after upgrade to deluxe menu 3.0. Please check.

A: See, you've set the following parameter:

  var transparency="0";

That is mean that your submenus will be transparent. You won't seethem.

Try to set another value, for example:

  var transparency="100";



Q: But given the sample on
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
we want to delete menuentry 'Sample1' and do
dm_ext_deleteItem(2, 4, 0)

This raises an error but according to your javascript menu master manual the first argument should be the menuindex ....which is 2 in our opinion.

A: See, if you have several menus on your page they will have differentID's, for example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //ID=0

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //ID=1

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //ID=2

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //ID=3

So, if you have only one menu on your test page you should use ID=0
