Q: I updated the files you talked about. I can see the javascript cascading menu on most computers, but not all. I am sorry to ask the same question over but my problem is persisting with some computers.
A: It is not correctly to add # symbol before the top item. This itemwill be hidden.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/menu-items-info.html
Now you have:
["#FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
You should write:
["FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
Q: A question: How do I make it show all the drop down dhtml menu items rather than having them pop up?
eg:
- Item 1
- sub item 1
- sub item 2
- sub item 3
A: You cannot expand items by default in Deluxe Menu. You should hoverover menu to open submenus.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree.
To expand specific items in Deluxe Tree you should add + sign beforeitem's text or set the following parameter to expand all drop down dhtml items bydefault:
var texpanded = 1;
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: 1) is it possible to have multiple(different) images, popup menus?
2) Can it Automatically popup instead of Left click?
Would you show me How?
3) What is: menuInd - index of the javascript menu script on a page, >= 0 ?
Could you give more explanation?
A: > 1) is it possible to have multiple(different) images, popup menus?
Yes, you can use any number of popup menus on your page.
> 2) Can it Automatically popup instead of Left click?
> Would you show me How?
You can use onMouseOver event instead of onClick or onContextMenu events in that case.
> 3) What is: menuInd - index of the javascript menu script on a page, >= 0 ?
Each menu has ID. The ID's number starts with 0.
So, when you have several data files on your page you have such ID's:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0 //standard menu (doesn't use popup feature)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4
and so on.
If you want to have different Popup menus (there color, item, text,font and so on) you should create different .js files with yourparameters. And call them from your page, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
If you have different item text only you can use one
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
file. But you should delete the following code:
var menuItems = [
["Next","testlink.htm"],
["Prev","testlink.htm"],
["Close","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
and move it to the html page:
<body>
...
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //first popup menu ID - 1
var menuItems = [
["Next","testlink.htm"],
["Prev","testlink.htm"],
["Close","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //second popup menu ID - 2
var menuItems = [
["Text","testlink.htm"],
["Text1","testlink.htm"],
["Text2","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //third popup menu ID - 3
var menuItems = [
["New_Text","testlink.htm"],
["New_Text1","testlink.htm"],
["New_Text2","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //fourth popup menu ID - 4
var menuItems = [
["New","testlink.htm"],
["New","testlink.htm"],
["New","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(2, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(3, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(4, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
</body>
