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: With the new version, my body onload function is blocked.
In our application we do something with a body onload function.
It doesn't get called if I use the deluxe-menu. If I remove deluxe-menu js files from html, it works.

Is there a way I can use deluxe-menu and get my onload handler called?


A: Deluxe Menu detects any user's onload events and remember them in the case when you write a such events before dm_init(); call.

Try to delete onload event from <body> and write the following at theend of a page (after dm_init() call):

<script type="text/javascript"> onload = onloadHandler;</script>

That should work.


Q: I want to set links in a text, which opens html pop up window and not to open the Window on start.

A: You can specify the ID of the element you want to click on.
Actions sections in Deluxe Tuner, onClick parameter.

1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage.
For example you have:

<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>

So, in Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.

Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.

2) You can also use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.

More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html

function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")

Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file
if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.

content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.

Q: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.

You will see that on the horizontal menu,

Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire

These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.


A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
   ["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],

First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.

See, how you should write your menuItems:

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
 ["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],
 ["|Who's Who?","/k6intranet2.nsf/PageTitleLookup/Who's Who?OpenDocument", , , ,"" ,"1", , , ],

dm_init();


Q: How do I get the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame of a 3 vertical frameset.

The menu is in the first frame. I want the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame. I don't see how to set that parameter.


A: You should check your dm_initFrame() function.

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical.

You should write it, for example
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
