Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: I know this must be somewhere in your support information but I can't find it. Can you tell me something I could do for people who have Javascript turned off so they can at least use my base menu (not the submenus).


A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

Please, try to use search engine friendly code you'll see all yourlinks.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.


To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: Ok, please disregard my previous email, it was IE 8! I went back to IE 7 and everything is fine.

I do however got requests to speed up the javascript treeview action (of my 2 out of 2 customers thus far on your menus).

Is there a setting to make it go faster?

A:   var tXPIterations=5;

You can also try to use AJAX feature. It will increase the loading speed.


Q: I’m very interested in your script of deluxe-menu.
I tryed your script out and have some questions now:

How do I highlight main menu items when I selected a main category?
How do I highlight submenu items when I selected a sub category?
How can I have a submenu unfoldet when I selected the matching main category?

I would be pleased to have answers to my questions as soon as possible.
Thank you for support!


A: The menu 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 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 changed the parameter from
  var dmObjectsCheck=0;
to
  var dmObjectsCheck=1;
in the data.js file
but it didn't change it;

I opened the dmenu_add.js file, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it?
_____________________

I went to your sample page and I would like to add the item widths into mydata.js file, but each item is a different width. Would it be correct for meto do this?...

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"],
];

Or will I have to make all the main menu items/graphics the same width?


A: You don't have to change your dmenu_add.js file.
Please, place this file in the folder where your menu iscreated in.

Yes, you can set itemWidth for each main item.

Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.

You should write, for example, so:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
  var menuItems = [
