Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

Q: Is there a way with your script drop down menu to make the menus appear to be expanded when on a certain page?


A: No, unfortunately there is no way to expand Deluxe Menu.

You can try to use Deluxe Tree, http://deluxe-tree.com in that case.
You can expand specific items in Deluxe Tree using

dtreet_ext_expandItem ()

function.

Q: I downloaded the trial version and gave it a run.
I cannot get thebackground color of the menu to change – it this a limitation of the trail version or a bug?


A: No, it is not the limitation.

Please, set these parameters:

  var menuBackColor="#000000";
  var menuBorderColor="#000000";
  var itemBackColor=["#000000","#000000"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#000000","#000000"];


Q: The cascading javascript menu does not spans frames or windows like Applets. Is that correct?

I was not able to make the sample to do it.

A: The DHTML Menu and Java Menu are built on different technologies.Java menus can create submenus that cover frames as a standard Windowssubmenus. DHTML Menu can't do that, because it's controls is htmlobjects, they can't overlap Windows controls. So, cascading javascript menu hascross-frame ability that allows it to show submenus in differentframes. But it can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!

Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.

These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.


A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.

Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html

You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
];
