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.

Q: I would eventually like to be able to distribute the javascript navigation menu with some of my templates, is this permitted with the Developer license?

A: With the Developer license you can use the menu on an unlimited numberof Internet or Intranet sites and on the local machines.

This version of the script doesn't check keys and it isn't bound to a domain name,so it can be used with an application that doesn't have a fixed domain name.



Q: How can I setup Font Size, color for individual level, button? How?


A: You should use Individual Item Styles.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#B6E025,#769315","fontStyle=bold 10px Bookman Old Style"], //style 0
];

menuItems = [
...
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],

Q: Doesn't this mean that I have to add this search engine code to all of my sites pages?  If so this could be tedious when adding additional pages to a large site.Is this something I can adjust ...or make submenus were you can't see through them?


A: Unfortunately it is really so. You should paste search engine code onthe each page with the menu.

If you don't want to create your menu (and add search engine friendlycode) on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.


Q: I've noticed something strange in the Deluxe Tree and I am wondering if this is normal.

Here's an example I have in my "data.js" file to populate the javascript ajax tree:

  var tmenuItems = [

["Mes alertes/My alerts","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Francais","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeFr.js", ],
 ["|English","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeEn.js", ],
];

Here's basically how it goes:

- Basically the "0" represents a pre-built style that I have set for the root of my tree.

- Under this are the first child of the root called "Francais" and "English" which I link with a JS file to populate (Because the users will customize the alerts they want to see).

This works perfectly fine. But it is a workaround. Let me explain what I wanted in the first place:

  var tmenuItems = [
["Mes alertes ","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", " js/AjaxTreeFr.js ", ],
["My alerts","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "js/AjaxTreeEn.js", ],
];

Basically I wanted to have 1 javascript ajax tree with 2 root items "Mes alertes" and "My alerts" but it seems impossible to attach a js file to the root of the tree view. (It doesn't get populated).

Any ideas?

A: See AJAX feature won't work for first-level in XP style now.

It works if you use:
  var tXPStyle=0;
