Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Setup menu parameters manually or using De Luxe Tuner. Then add some rows of a code within html page code and your menu is ready!
  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.
  • Ability to handle the menu from the keyboard via keystrokes.

Recent Questions

Q: I cannot figure out how to make the text break into two lines.

A: You can use wrapping in Deluxe Menu.
Please, use <br> tag in your menuItems, for example:

"item<br>text"


Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a menu with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.

I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.

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: The only remaining problem I see is that the html popup menu appears in slightly different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.

Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon? I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.

A: See dm_popup() function parameters:

return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the html popup menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place.
In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.


Q: The dropdown menu works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using the other parameters to make it absolute... here is the html files, and the .js files included in a zip file.


A: Now on your website you have the following code:

["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...

On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.

You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...

You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.

  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";

and write

["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
 ["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
