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: Very interested by your product.I want to know, before buy, if I can call javascript function when the user click on a items in the horizontal drop down menu?

A: You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:

  var menuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];

Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:

  var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];

Q: I like your product and we would like to use it for our web-site.

Our site uses Frames with the following names in the FrameSet:

frame name = “top”
frame name = “middle”
frame name = “bottom”

I don’t understand how to set the target of the Deluxe Tuner navigational link to populate the frame “middle” or “bottom”

When I try to input my own name it will not allow me to do so.

We are using the “top” (horizontal) frame as a header which will contain the navigational component we developed using your product.

We are using the “middle” frame to contain most of the html pages the user will load

We are using the “bottom” frame to contain auxiliary text

Can you help me?


A: More info about the installation of the menu in cross-frame mode youcan find here

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

You should replace dm_init() function with dm_initFrame() function.
Please, open your data.js file with the menu parameters in any texteditor and change it.
You should write, for example so:

dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 0);


Q: I have implemented a deluxe-menu on my client's website and I had a couple of questions.

1. Can I control how fast the submenus scroll in my javascript menu examples? If you look at the site and hover over Need An Expert? on the menu and then point to Practice Areas, this submenu seems to scroll slower than if you mouse over "Technology" and scroll that submenu. The Technology submenu scrolls a lot faster. Is it because there are many more items in the Technology submenu? I tried to find a setting for "scroll speed" or the like, but I couldn't find it.

2. In internet explorer, when you mouse over Need An Expert?, Technology the first time you go to the page, there is a 3-4 second delay before the submenu opens. There are a lot of submenu items under Technology, but in Firefox, there doesn't seem to be this delay. Do you know why this would happen in IE? Is there a way to fix it? Could the problem be that each submenu item has a background graphic and this is causing the delay?

3. When you get to a page on the site and you rollover the top level menu, there is also a delay before the background image of the menu items shows up. You get a solid blue background color for a second or two (the bgcolor assigned) and then the graphic loads and shows up. Is there any way around this? I have a javascript to preload the image (back.jpg) but that doesn't seem to help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

A: 1. The scroll speed depends on number of items to be scrolled, more items -> faster scroll.
You can decrease the number of items or enlarge the size of submenu.

2,3. Please try to add the following param:

  var dm_writeAll = 1;

It will load all backgrounds on page load, no on mouseover.



Q: I just downloaded the beta for IE8

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/readiness/Install.htm

And it looks like the java script menu code has a lot of issues with it. Are you guys going to be supporting IE8?

A: Yes, we're planning the full support for IE8 as well as for all major browsers.

All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
