Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to leave a main java swing menu bar item highlighted when in that section. For example if I clicked on "Contact Us" and when I am on the contact us page, the "Contact us" navigation would still be highlighted. I appreciate any help you might have, thanks!
A: The java swing menu bar has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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 java swing menu bar 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: Javascript menu frame Borders are present Firefox but missing in IE7, IE8, Google Chrome, Safari.
Firefox shows the borders ok.
A: You've set the following parameters in this menu:
var menuBorderColor="#FF9191 #FF7837 #E10000 #952D00 ";
var menuBorderWidth=3;
var menuBorderStyle="";
You should specify style for your border, for example:
var menuBorderStyle="solid";
See the attached example. I cannot notice such issue on Safari forWin. Write what version you're using.
Change also
var fontStyle=["normal 8pt Verdana,normal 8pt Verdana","normal 8pt Verdana,normal 8pt Verdana"];
to
var fontStyle=["normal 8pt Verdana","normal 8pt Verdana"];
Q: Does your menu have the ability to have small text boxes on it?
For example the search box on your main page under your logo.
A: You can use any html code within item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["<input type=text value='field'>text", ],
];
Try that.
Q: What is occurring is that the information on the first tab is appearing on every tab. The other tabs are behaving correctly, but the first tab appearing at the top.
A: Now you have such items
["$Contacts", "contacts",,,,"How to contact Civil Liberties Australia", "0"],
["The Board", "board",,,,"Members of the CLA Board", "0"],
["Policies", "policy",,,,"An outline of CLA's policies", "0"],
["Other Matters", "other",,,,"Other administrative matters of CLA' page","0"],
But I cannot find DIV with ID "contacts".
May be you should write
["$Contacts", "content",,,,"How to contact Civil Liberties Australia", "0"],
Please, check it.
