Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Sub menus dropdown over all the objects on the page (select, applet, flash, object, embed). If for some reasons (old browser) a submenu can't go over an object, the object will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
  • Design personal styles for any submenu and item. Use individual styles to rich killer visual effects!
  • These effects will make your menu neat and chic. You can set transparency, cast a shadow on the menu and submenus. Among available special visual effects there are random dissolve, fade, mix, mosaic slide out and many many others.

Recent Questions

Q: Is it possible for the dhtml navigation to stay within a table for placement (in order to have a centered website content optimized for 1024x768 - and always have the content centered in the browser regardless of larger resolution sizes, etc.)? so the horizontal placement may vary but the vertical placement would remain the same.

I'm sure it is - but have not had success on implementing it.

A: You can place a menu in a TABLE or DIV with aligh="center".

Q: Is there any way to keep the cursor as default on disabled links? I see that there's a general cursor choice, is there any chance to make it individually?

A: Unfortunately you cannot set cursor type individually for all items.
You can set it only for whole items.

You can try to set a cursor for your <img> tag. for example:
["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/sep_mac.gif' style='cursor: default;'>","", "", "", "", "_", "-1", "0", "", ],

You can also try to set
  var itemCursor="default";
for all items and use <a> tags for all links:

["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='link'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],

And create styles
.link{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.link:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}



Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying drop down menus with the JavaScript API?

A: You should use the following function:

function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>

Q: I'm trying out the cross-browser (top to bottom) drop down menu and I was wondering if it was possible to have the top bar (the main items) use a background image while the sub-items beneath used a plain background color and no image?

So far I've gotten them to either both use a background image, or both use a background color. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

A: Actually you can create any menu you like with Deluxe Menu.

You can use Individual Styles to set background image for the items

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
];

oryou can use images instead of icons (you should delete item's text).

["","", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/btn_black_green.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
