Q: I came across your program through a link on the Internet. The menu script displayed was DHTML Menu Demo #23 displayed on
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html - this is the only menu I am interested in as it has the capability of positioning the menu script relative to an existing table in the HTML coding of the page. I already have a vertical scrolling menu with several features visitors. We are moving our website to our own server and are doing some updating to make it more attractive when viewed at different resolutions. If you look at the source coding for the page (yes, it's almost exclusively in HTML - it usually views well on any browser) you will see that ALL the content is enclosed in a table which is centered on the page allowing it to be completely viewed at any resolution of 800 x 600 or greater. But the scripting I'm using ( /* Created by Randy Bennet...) uses the left margin of the browser window as left margin of the page. If it could be written so that the left margin of the existing (and centered in the browser window) table would be the point from which the left corner of the "object1" was measured, then the page would view nicely at any resolution. But I cannot find out how to do this from your "newer version".
A: You can create the same menu using Deluxe Menu:
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html
To install Deluxe Menu in the table cell with center alignment youshould use relative position for the menu:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
And install it on your page in the following way:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Q: Is there a way to specify certian font styles escpecailly a hanging indent on the text of the navigation menubar?
A: You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 0
["fontStyle=normal 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=underline,underline"], // style 1
["fontStyle=normal 14px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,none"], // style 2
];
And assign styles to your items:
var menuItems = [
["1 Item","index.php","","","","_self","0",,,],
["2 Item","","","","","_self","1",,,],
["|Submenu Item","","","","","_self","2",,,],
...
Q: I want to use
function dtreet_ext_userRightClick(itemID) {
alert(itemID[0]); ???
return false;
}
But how do I refer to tmenuItems array using itemID in the javascript?
For example, if I want to pop a link text, should I use alert(itemID[0]))?
It doesn't work.
Please let me know how I refer to the menu.
A: You should use the following function to get item's info:
dtreet_ext_getItemParams (0, itemID);
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
function dtreet_ext_userRightClick(itemID)
{ var link = [];
link = dtreet_ext_getItemParams (0, itemID);
//Returns item parameters in the array:
// [item_id, index_within_submenu, parentID, level, has_child, child_count, expanded, text, link, target, tip, align, icons, hidden, disabled, visible]
alert(link[7]);
return false;
}
</script>
Q: My name is Wayne Dekmar, I am a registered user. I have a question when using your javascript browser menu with Frames. In the Item Parameter box, Link, I would select the page that I want open. Target, would I select custom then add below : Target='main'. Is this correct? Can you give me an example of how to do this.
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
