Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Setup menu parameters manually or using De Luxe Tuner. Then add some rows of a code within html page code and your menu is ready!
  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.
  • Ability to handle the menu from the keyboard via keystrokes.

Q: I’m trying to add a padding before the beforeItemImage for the sub navigation bar but I can’t do it after hours off trying it.

A: You should add a separator with blank (or white) image.
  var separatorVImage="deluxe-menu.files/space.gif";
  var separatorVWidth="7px";
  var separatorVHeight="27px";
  var separatorPadding="0px";

And assign Individual style for this item
["itemBorderWidth=0","itemBorderStyle=none,none"],




Q: I am having a problem trying to get my scrolling menu javascript to work correctly with frames.

My web page is frame based. There are THREE (3) Rows. The top roe is "header" and the bottom row is "footer". The center row is divided into TWO (2) columns. The left is "contents" and the right is "main". This is a very standard configuration.

I have created a menu called "member-menu" and added it to the "content" html file. I have edited the "member-menu.js" file to add the "dm_initFrame("FrmSet",0,1,0); at the end of the file. Using the instruction provided when the scrolling menu javascript was saved. I then uploaded all of the required file to my server. At this point everything is fine, I go to a password protected page in the "\members" folder and this seems to work also. When I try to go to a "submenu" it wants to expand to the right in the "content" FRAME. I need it to expand into the "main" FRAME on the right.

I know that I am doing something wrong. I have read the instructions a dozen times and can't find the problem.

A: You should write the ID of your frames correctly, for example now youhave:

header - 0
contents - 1 (frame with the menu)
main - 2 (frame with submenus)
bootom - 3

In that case you should write init function in the following way:

dm_initFrame("FrmSet",1,2,1);

where - dm_initFrame("FrmSet",frame with the menu,frame with submenus,1);

Try that.

Q: We do need the menuitem separation bars as most of the menuitems are quit lengthy, and there needs to be a separation bar to distinguish between them.

A: If you want to add separators between items you can paste a separatorbetween items or you can set item's border width in the following way:

  var itemBorderWidth="0 0 1 0";
But you cannot enter this value in Deluxe Tuner you should set thisparameter manually.
You can also create style for the last item with border width = 0:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=0"],
];

To add separators, please, see the following parameters:

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
  var separatorWidth="5";
  var separatorHeight="100%";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
  var separatorVWidth="1";
  var separatorVHeight="100%";
  var separatorPadding="";

You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];



Q: Is it possible to integrate a search window for my customers like your "standart tree menu" , and what is the code for this function  ?
