Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: No matter where I place the code, the html free menu always appears in the top left of the page,
I need it elsewhere obviously but it simply won't move.

A: You're using absolute position for the menu now.
You should use relative position in that case.

Q: We are using your deluxe menu on our live site, but I have a question about the initial setup of the menu.

I need to update the site and a create a new version where the Deluxe Menu is painted, but not initially displayed until the user has been validated. We are runing the entire site from a single page with multiple iFrames. I have been using the code document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility = "hidden"; to hide the menu during startup, but I would rather have the floating menu hidden initially and then displayed as the user is validated and gain access to the functionality.

So the question is: Is there a property in the data.js file - or any other file - where the menu can be hidden initially until needed?

A: You can hide the menu onloaddocument.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility = "hidden";

And then show the floating menu when your user will be validated.

I read in the FAQ about displaying Norwegian characters
(http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-javascript-menu-drop-down-Norwegian-characters-support.html)
so I tried this:


but that did nothing.
I have the charset on the page set properly and the letters appear properly everyone else, only incorrect in the menus.

A: You should write your Spanish characters in the following way:

 ["|México","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],

Try that.
