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.

Recent Questions

Q: I'm having multiple problems with this now, I'm using this sight in the horizontal cross-frame style. And using the CSS-type layout.

Problems:

1. This appears to be working fine in Firefox but I can't see the Menu or frames in Internet Explorer.

2. I have changed the colors in the data.js and the css-mode.css files and still can't change the subMenu background colors. ( I have put everything back like it was, but for example if I want to change the submenu or drop down menu background color to grey and the mouseover color to red where do I change that at)? Do I edit the .css file or the data.js file

3. I can't get the links to open in the bottom frame ( I know you will see that it's set to _blank now, but I tried setting the   var itemTarget="_bottommenu"; and the code in the menu section at the bottom of the data.js to the same but it still doesn't seem to work. Can you help me out here?

I have attached the sight so that you can see what I'm dealing with.

Once again, thanks for your help and any advice.


A: 1) Your menu works fine in all browsers.

2) Your should add the following line into the bottommenu.htm file.
<link href="data-samples/css-mode.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>

You should set the item color for the submenus in your css file initemNormal and itemOver styles.

3) You should use the following parameter to set a frame name:

  var itemTarget="";

["Home","testlink.htm", "css/icon1.gif", "css/icon12.gif", "Home", "frm2", "0", "0", , ],
["Products","", "css/icon2.gif", "css/icon22.gif", "Products", , "0", , , ],
 ["|Hard Drives","testlink.htm"],
 ["|Servers",""],
   ["||Linux Compatible","testlink.htm", , , , "frm2",],
   ["||Windows Compatible","testlink.htm", , , , "frm2",],
...


Q: I have one more question. I built the menu using Deluxe Tuner.
I cannot find where to change the mouse over color from blue to something more appropriate in my drop down menu templates. Can you tell me where to do this?


A: You should change the second color in the following parameter:

  var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];


Q: I see "Incorrect Copyright" message in IE7.


A: Now you're using Deluxe Menu v1.12.

You should upgrade you Deluxe Menu to v2.0.
Please, download licensed files from the same link in your licensemessage.
How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.

Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
(can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/OpenA
c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

  var keystrokes = 0;
  var dm_focus = 1;
  var dm_actKey = 113;

  var dynamic = 0;
  var smHideOnClick = 1;
  var itemAlignTop = 'left';
  var smSmartScroll = 1;

  var dmAJAX = 0;
  var dmAJAXCount = 30;
  var dmRTL = 0;
  var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
  var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
  var menuHeight = "";
  var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

c. Save the file.

Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.

Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

Step 4. Save HTML-page.

Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.
They are:
- dmenu.js
- dmenu4.js
- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js
- dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
- dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.

Try that.


Q: If I open a pdf file within the frame work, the javascript onmouseover menu does not work.

A: Try to load your .pdf file into the IFRAME, for example on yourcontent frame (frame where you load your pdf files) you'll have:

<iframe src="files/1.pdf" name="iframe" style="z-index:0;" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>

Submenus will overlap PDF correctly if you load it in the IFRAME only!
