Q: I am interested in your Deluxe Tree Menu. For testing purposes, i downloaded the trial version of your software, but realized that the Textboxes an comboboxes, as shown in the samples on your website, are not included in the demo version. As i am interested in right this feature, could you please tell me where i can find more information about how creating such input boxes in the css expanding menu, and maybe also if there is a possibility to change the menu and write the changed one into a database?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q'
value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:
http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","",
"images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
Try that.
Q: I had to put the site live and had taken out the white border. I've used one of the better elements of your application and put a second data file (data1.js) and a sample page up that recreates the aberrant behavior in IE and the missing border-bottom in Firefox and Opera.
In IE, the entire border of each element has about a 5px white border until you mouseover each element. Then the border-bottom (1px solid white) shows correctly.
In both Firefox and Opera the border doesn't show at all.
A: Try to write so:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="400";
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=0 0 1px 0","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
Q: I have just 2 more questions.
1. Can the 3rd level be configured to be a javascript vertical menu?
2. Can your menu be configured per the following spec? Once you click on a 3rd level option that level would disappear & the 1st & 2nd level would be breadcrumbed (stay visible to show you where you are).
A: 1) Yes you can do it. Use smOrientation parameter in IndividualSubmenu Styles:
var menuStyles = [
["smOrientation=0"], //id=0
];
Assign it to the first item in third submenu:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ],
2) No, it is not possible now. Your 3rd level submenu will be visible too.
Q: I'm using the deluxe-menu software on a asp.net 2.0 site that utilizes master-pages. On everypage that is in the root directory the javascript for menu loads fine, but if the page is up a directory the main images for the menu don't display.
Have you had any customers with this same problem? If so any help you could offer would be appreciated, thanks!
A: Try to use absolute paths, for example:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.js"></script>
and in your data file set:
var pathPrefix_img="https://www.watchguardsales.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link="https://www.watchguardsales.com/";
