Q: I have a problem. How can we get the value of a parameter passed by the menu, when a menu item is clicked? For example I want to get the URL or file name to be open by the menu item when it is clicked.
I am talking about TREE menu.
A: If you want to open url or a file when you click on items of the tree menu you can write, for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["+DHTML Menus","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
["|Save as...", "javascript:OpenFile('file_name')"]
];
Q: How do assign my own onclick events to menu options for the dhtml menubar?
I want do more than just redirect to an href.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Q: I have found (was it like this before??) that if I right-mouse-click over a menuitem then I do not see any option to open the URL in new window....
I do not get any options at all to open the URL in new window (or same window), in the browser context menu (both IE and Firefox).
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. This is only text, not alink. And we won't change it. Because now you're able to paste anyhtml code within menu item.
var menuItems = [
["<div>Arbeidsplaner</div>","cp_workplan.php",,,,"_self","0","0"],
You can write your links in the following way:
["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com/'>google</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com'>Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],
And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #000;
text-decoration: underline;}
Q: We are evaluating your product Deluxe Tree-menu.
We want that when user clicks an item, then load other page. This other page also conatains the tree menu. But, we are looking for how we have to do for the previously clicked menu items in java (in the previous page) remains highlighted for inform to user what is his current page/selection.
We know toggleMode feature, but after the second page loads, the clicked item does not remain higlighted.
It is possible to achieve this behavior with your product???
A: You should use API functions in that case
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
