Q: I have a quick question: I have an iframe menu item (see note 1) for the dhtml menu sample,
and when I click a link in that iframe, I would like to close the menu.
Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?
A: You couldn't close the menu, you can only hide it.
You can try touse the following code to hide the menu.
["||test menuitem
<iframe src='test.php' onClick='document.getElementById(\'dm0m0\').style.visibility=\'hidden\';'
></iframe>","", , , , ,"0" , , , ],
You can also place your Iframe in DIV tag with indents.
["||test menuitem
<div style='padding: 10px;'><iframesrc='test.php'
onClick='document.getElementById(\'dm0m0\').style.visibility=\'hidden\';'></iframe></div>","", , , , ,"0" , , , ],
Q: First sorry for my english (I'm french)
Is what the search engines (Googlebot, ...) recognize the links in dynamic html menus?
"deluxe menu" ?
Else Does it has an other solution ?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage. Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
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: One other question, how do you get the menu bar to highlight and stay on the page you are viewing rather than highlighting home the whole time.
A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
