Q: I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript menu, an item that was selected.
So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu
and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: How can I keep the javascript contextual menu items from opening into a new window when selected?
A: You can set target parameter for all javascript contextual menu items:
var itemTarget="_self";
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I now have a tree on the left and an embedded frame on the right. When a user clicks a node, the corresponding html page appears in the frame.
Is there a method I can use when a user clicks a node, the web page will jump to a certain location in the page (menu dhtml hhyperlink)? I'm envisioning using one long web page instead of 30 or 40 separate pages. But I would need the program to work with a hyperlink to know where to jump to.
A: See the structure of tmenuItems array:
var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFilename],
You can set link and target menu dhtml parameters for each item individually,for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["Home","files/homepage.html","","","","Home","topframe","","",""],
["Contacts","files/contacts.html","","","","Contacts","bottomframe","","",""],
You can also send us the example, so we can understand your problem.
Q: Is it correct that in vertical collapse menu you can specify your target as a different frame?
A: Yes, you can specify frame name as the target in Deluxe Tree:
var titemTarget="frame";
