Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also 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.
Q: I still do not understand your answer about the simple java menu arrows, which work in preview, but not on the website. The html is correct.
A: You have
var arrowImageMain=["ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif","ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif"];
in your data js, so the arrows must be here
http://domain/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
you arrows is here
http://domain/menu/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
You can use
var pathPrefix_img="menu/";
or change paths here
var arrowImageMain=["ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif","ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif"]; --> menu/ss.files/arrow_sub5.gif
Q: Is it possible to generate Kaspersky java tab menu from dynamic content?
i.e I have a web application which currently generates a certain number of tabs for content based on a users selection.
Can the Kapersky tabs be generated from dynamic content, or does it need to be hard coded for the number of tabs and placement?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tabs doesn't have such a feature.
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.:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// 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.html
This example is not for Deluxe Tabs menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.
Q: Now, I need your help in another question: I can set "tpressedFontColor" to have the font of the active item in the dhtml tree menu take this color.
How can I make the onmouseover - background ("titemBackImage" of the individual style set in the item parameters) of the menu item also be saved in the active, selected dhtml tree menu item? I need to build a menu with different background-images (shown on mouseover and when active) for each item, so I cannot set ONE "titemBackImage" that fits for all.
Thank you very much, Irene. And yes, I really love this product.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible now to set background color orbackground image for the selected state. Deluxe tree doesn't have sucha feature now.
But we'll try to add this feature in the next versions of Deluxe Tree.
