Q: I've begun experimenting with the dhtml rollover menu program and like what I see.
Question, when I have a tree menu on the left and the user clicks a node, I want the resulting HTML page to appear next to the dhtml rollover menu, on the right hand side. How do I reposition the HTML page so it doesn't take up the whole page and cover the menu?
A: You can use frames and open link pages into the content frame, or use Iframe.
Please, set the name for your iframe, for example:
<iframe name ='myFrame' ...
<frame name ='myFrame' ...
And then you must set the following dhtml rollover menu parameter in the data file withyour menu:
var titemTarget="myFrame";
Q: We are using your menu in a website here under development:
There is a problem with mac browsers - safari and firefox. The flash stops and goes blank when the html menu dropsdown.
We have tried numerous fixed including the one outlined on your website here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html Here is the link to our html menu file link/file to the menus: -> http://domain.org.au/js/menu
Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
A: Now you hide your flash on MAC using the following function:
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
Try to delete this function, try to set the following parameter also:
var dmObjectsCheck = 0;Q: Cross-frame mode: after clicking on a menu item and the subframe is loading and then mouse over the menu when the subframe has not finished loading a javascript error occurs and then the javascript vertical menu breaks.
A: You can get this error when you load pages from the another domain.
Deluxe Menu can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!
Q: Is there a javascript function that I can call that will return the ID or the Text value of the currently checked tab?
A: Unfortunately there is no such a function now.
There are such variables.
dtabs_tabs[menuN].b1 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedItem
dtabs_tabs[menuN].JT0 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedSmItem
But they contain the index of the selected menu item, not the ID.
