Jul 25, 2008 - I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a javascript menu example..
Q: So, I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a menu w javascript, just for interest.
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to rebuild the menu without reloading of the page now. We'll add this feature in the next version of the menu.
Can you say anything about date for that funcion?
May-be the function is ready in an un-officiel version?
I have buy this product-collect, and is in touch to implement dynamic 'ajax' menu with php, And the function to reload menu will be very pretty

Q: I created a custom error page for a site, but the menu would not display.
I found that this was due to the erroneous "current directory" in the bad link test, for a non-existent directory.
which is: level2/level3/
I changed the script code from:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>
to:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>
adding the "/" before "DMworkfiles/dmenu.js" source reference allowed the .js file to be found in the root directory and the menu would display.
The problem is that the little menu "expansion" arrow .gif cannot be found in the "current working directory" of level2/level3/. just little "blanks" show.
I tried changing:
var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";
to:
var dmWorkPath = "/DMworkfiles/";
but that did not enable the display of the arrows.
I also had to prefix all of the links in the menu with a "/" to indicate the root directory because of the "current directory" for the bad page.
I hope I have explained the problem sufficiently.
What am I doing wrong or missing here?
A: You can 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 have a paid version of the menu, and I was trying to add the functionality of dynamically adding net dhtml menu item
When I added the code I get the following JS error,
menu is undefined in dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
function dm_ext_hideAllSubmenus(mInd){_dmsm(mInd);};function dm_ext_changeItem(m...
I copied the example from your site, just to see if I can use it.
What am I doing wrong?
A: See, we have two menus on the sample's page
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
That's why we write menuInd = 1
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, ...
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
But if you have only one menu you should write menuInd = 0
dm_ext_addItemPos(0, ...
dm_ext_addItem(0, ...
Q: I need to know if it is possible to call a JavaScript function from the cool dhtml menu.
I have read the FAQ and noted where it lists that you can perform an alert call, and that worked on my end as well, but when Iattempted to call a function I created I could not get it torespond.
Is it possible to call a function from your menu?
Could Iget an example?
A: You can write your own functions within menuItems, for example:
["|Real-Time Data Query","javascript:window.open('http://www.domain.org/','_blank','height=758,width=1024,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');"
,,,'Query real time water quality data' ,'' , '', '', ,],
