Q: I see that you have the demo of the menu working over a frame so that it displays over the lower frame, vertical top to bottom.
However I have played around with your demo and can't seem to replicate the same feature.
Could you please tell me what I have to set to make the easy dropdown menu float over the lower framed window?
A: To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame() function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
For example, for the following structure:
<frameset id="frmSet" rows="185,*">
<frame id="frame1" src="cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm">
<frame id="frame2" name="testlink.htm" scrolling="no">
</frameset>
the dm_initFrame() function call at the end of data.js file will look like:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
Q: Hello I am testing your product Deluxe Menu, and want to create a special tree-menu.
I have a question:
Is it possible to have two icons in front of each dhtml menu item?
I need two icons in front of each menu-item that will symbolize an alarm and a sabotage-alarm.
I want to use animated gifs on these so that I can visualize alarm and sabotage on each menu-item.
But I also need an icon on the right side of the menu to show if the menu-item is expanded or not.
I want the structure to be like this:
Icon | icon а| Main menuitem1а | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.1 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.2 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem2 | expandedicon
Icon | icon а| Main menuitem2а | expandedicon
Is this possible to achieve with your menu?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use any html code within menu items.
["|<img src='default.files/icon1_so.gif' style='margin-right: 10px'>Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif","default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
Q: I downloaded the trial version of deluxe-menu.
I created a four tab menu using the tab'stab menu generator; so far so good.
I read the tutorial where to past codeand ensuring all items wire in the menudir/; so far so good. The problem, you talk about two> files 'dmenu.js' & 'data.js', these files were not created bydeluxe-menu program.
Where are they, so that I can see if this thing works before buying, so far; not so good.
A: You may have another name for your data file (not data.js).
If you want to use tab menu you'll have dtabs.js engine file and data file.
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "tab". So you'llhave tab.html, tab.js files and "tab.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in any text editor
3. Copy generated tab.js file and "tab.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:http://deluxe-tabs.com/product-info/?installation
