Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a menu with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: I got the tabs menu to work!
Can you tell me which file(s) I must change to change the content of each tab
Very many thanks for your help.
A: For each tab you can set content <div> (contentName,contentDescription, contentVariations).
var bmenuItems =
[
["Style Name","contentName",,,,,"1"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Style Description","contentDescription"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Style Variations","contentVariations"],
["-",,,,,,"0"],
["Empty",,,,,,"2"],
];
You can find these divs in the tabs-style-glass.html file. You shouldpaste the content of your tabs in these divs.
Q: I need to create a link drop down menu for a site that has the top level menuhave no border but I want any of the sub menu popups to have aborder around them (or a different background color for the menuarea for the popup). I can not see a way to do this? If a put a menu border on it appears on both the top level and any submenu popups.
A: You should set the following parameters:
1) var menuBorderWidth=0;
2) Create Submenu Style
var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderStyle=solid","menuBorderColor=#7E5927"], //style 0
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner. Click "Edit Individual Styles" and thenchoose "Submenu Styles" tab.
3) Assign Individual Style for your submenus.
You can assign them only for the first item in each submenu.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", ], //style 0
["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Parameters Info","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Some menu entries may be disabled and clicking on them should produce predefined javascript alert message?
A: To create disabled items you should set "_" symbol in the targetparameter of the menuItems.
If the target is "_" the item is disabled.
You can assign a font color for all disabled items using the following menu parameter:
var fontColorDisabled = "#AAAAAA";
You can write a javascript code instead of an item link:
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , ,"_",]
That's all.
