Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: I'd like to re order the position of the drop down menu's items (by example) the cities.

A-city
C-city
D-city
B-city
E-city etc.....

B-city had to come under A-city, how can we do that?
Thank you

A: I'm not sure I understand where you would like to change the position.In Deluxe Tuner or dynamically on your html page.

To move items in Deluxe Tuner select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.

See the attached screenshot. Click on the item you want to move.Move your mouse in the correct place (holding left mouse button).Wait till you'll have gray line in the place where you want to insertthe item and release mouse button.

To dynamically change your items you can use the following API function:function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

Q: I have built a menu with deluxe menu and I have put everything in the same map but the page doesn't display the drop down menu it says there is an error. Could you look what I do wrong?

A: It is not correctly to write local paths on your website. They won'twork:

<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C:/Test%20website%202008/x5/data.js"></script></td>

You should upload your data.js file in the same folder with yourdmenu.js file and write:

<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td>



Q: Actually, we figured out how to adjust the alignment of the text. What we would like to do is set a specific width for each item on the top level of the menu. Right now the width of the menu is based on the length of the item in that hotspot. We would like the width of each of those options to be the same.


A: You should use individual item styles. For example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=123px"], //style 0
["itemWidth=150px"], //style 1
];

  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Text","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "1", , , ], //style 1

Try that.


Q: Is there a way to create a vertical menu in which the sub menus "fly out" to the left of the main menu?


A: Yes, it is possible.
To create vertical menu you should set

  var isHorizontal=0;

Why of showing submenu you can set so:

  var smViewType=2;
