Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: I have a question regarding deluxe tab implementation.Can you guide me on how to change tab selection dynamically for the tabbed navigation.

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return the selected tab.

You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

Q: First of all, your product is amasing!

I can not create popup windows by clicking on a menu.

For example:

MainMenu:     Home > Favorites > Fun > About us

Sub Menu:      - Portal
                       - Games
                       - Forum
                       - Chat

By clicking on “Games” Button of sub menu I would like to open a popup window,

Not regular window with navigation, scroll and so on.


A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.

You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];


Q: I am trying to use Delux-menu for our project, I am not able to use dynamic features of drop down menu script. I will send the html file, where I am calling the java script.

I am getting the error dm_menu[mInd] has no properties.

A: You have one menu in your example, but you write:

function hide(vis) {
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility(1, 0, 2, vis);

That is mean that you want to hide item in the second drop down menu script.

You should write:

function hide(vis) {
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility(0, 0, 2, vis);



Q: I like your product and we would like to use it for our web-site.

Our site uses Frames with the following names in the FrameSet:

frame name = “top”
frame name = “middle”
frame name = “bottom”

I don’t understand how to set the target of the Deluxe Tuner navigational link to populate the frame “middle” or “bottom”

When I try to input my own name it will not allow me to do so.

We are using the “top” (horizontal) frame as a header which will contain the navigational component we developed using your product.

We are using the “middle” frame to contain most of the html pages the user will load

We are using the “bottom” frame to contain auxiliary text

Can you help me?


A: More info about the installation of the menu in cross-frame mode youcan find here

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

You should replace dm_init() function with dm_initFrame() function.
Please, open your data.js file with the menu parameters in any texteditor and change it.
You should write, for example so:

dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 0);
