  • Design menus absolutely based on CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is possible to apply the personal CSS styles for every elements of the menu.

Q: I am using XP style tree menu and would like to have top level menu item with no submenu items. However, the right double arrow icon still show up. Is there a way to hide it for the item without submenu items in css javascript tree menu?

See the attached document, I want to remove the double arrow icon at right for "Mission Statement", "History", "Direction" and "Contact Us".

Any help will be appreciated.

A: You can create Individual XP Style and use it for items with submenus:

  var tXPExpandBtn=["left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif"];

  var tXPStyles = [
["tXPExpandBtn=left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif"],
];

and assign this style for all top items with submenus:

["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["+Company Profile","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
 ["|Item 25","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 26","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Projects","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
 ["|Item 27","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 28","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],


Q: Can your menu, when placed in a master page, be propagated throughout an application's sub-folders
or will the html menu need to be added to each page separately?

A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.

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) 2006, 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.)
];


The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.html

You can use cross frame menu. It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages
that use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -
just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.

To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

Q: Is there a tutorial on how to use css navigation bar

A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.

1. Create your Css menu in Deluxe Tuner.

When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
See the parameters for the menu on the main window.

More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/parameters-info.html

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File->Save Css Menu/Export HTML

So, you'll have folder with images ("deluxe-css-menu.files/" folder by default),deluxe-css-menu.html file and deluxe-css-menu.js file with all menu parameters (project file you need, if you wantto modify your menu later).

Open deluxe-css-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows ofcode into your page (for example index.html page of your website).

Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).

<head>
...
<style>
ul.cssMenu ul{display:none}
ul.cssMenu li:hover>ul{display:block}
ul.cssMenu ul{position: absolute;left:-1px;top:98%;}
ul.cssMenu ul ul{top:-2px; left:98%}
ul.cssMenu {
...
ul.cssMenum0 li li {
margin:0px;
}
</style>
...
</head>

You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all imagesinto the same folder with your index.html page.

More info about installation:
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/installation-info.html
Try that.
