Q: I am testing your image based vertical menu. I am happy with it and about to buy the muti-site license if you can help me with one problem.
The menu looks different in IE compared to Firefox. In IE it is much smaller.
A: Try to specify units in "px":
var itemPadding="3px";
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150px"],
]
var menuStyles = [
["smHeight=200px"],
];
Try that.
Q: My Deluxe Menu works super.
Anyway, I would like to make it more comfortable for my users.
So, I would like to know if it possible to create a "Multicolumn Menu"
(http://deluxe-menu.com/multicolumn-menu-sample.html)
and separate define which submenu should be multicolumn and wich one looks "normal".
In your example all menu options which have submenus become multicolumn-look.
Is it maybe also possible to create such Multicolumn-look?
Group_01 Group_02 Group_03
- xxx - xxx - xxx
- xxx - xxx - xxx
- xxx - xxx - xxx
Group_04 Group_05 Group_06
- xxx - xxx - xxx
- xxx - xxx - xxx
- xxx - xxx - xxx
A: Yes, you can create such menu.
You can create "normal" items using separator.
["|-","testlink.htm"],
Please, see the attached example.
Q: Do you by chance have an example of the java popup menu working with XML?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.htmlQ: As I have stated before, your Deluxe-Menu is very very good.
But there is allways room for improvement.
Is there any chance to see support for the following in Deluxe-Menu:
When I move the mousepointer above a menuitem and right-click I would like to see in the javascript contextual menu (the context menu provided by the browser):
Open Link in new window
Open Link in new tab
If the above is not possible or not something you want to enable.... then, there should be possible to make a workaround to make this work:
I see there is support for custom javascript contextual menus.....
.... is there any possibility to make a custom context menu that show above a menuitem and that show when right clicking on the menuitem.
Should hopefully be possible to create in such way that I create one context menu in javascript (the deluxe menu way... ) , but when clicking on "Open link in new window" from that custom menu, then the JS code should call a javascript function of mine (or yours), with a parameter related to the menuitem that was right-clicked...
And this javascript function should be able to resolve the actual URL (based on the input parameter rel. to the menuitem) and then open a new window using window.open()
If not possible to implement using the native browser context menu, then I belive it should be possible to do it using my workaround how to.....
Just a thought....
Any suggestions on how I can make the workaround work, or if maybe you could support the workaround in some way in future releases of Deluxe-Menu?
A: Yes, there is a workaround.
You can write your items in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com' class="link">test test test</a>",""],
You should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}
