Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so that a vertical menu selection stays 'on'? In other words, the vertical menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.

A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<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=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: We use IFrames and Frameset through out our program. Will Deluxe-Menu and Deluxe-Tabs work for us.
Will this work for us, using the layout below. Menu will be in frame3 and tabs in frame4. Should pop up in frame5.

       <frame>    <frame1>     <frame2>
  <frame3-Deluxe-Menu>    <frame4-Deluxe-Tabs>
<frame5 - Content and more IFrames and Framesets>


A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu (cross-frame mode).

See more info here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-samples/cross-frame-horizontal-1-sample.htm

Deluxe Menu and Deluxe Tabs will work fine in such frame structure.


Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.

1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.

I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.

A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.

You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.

> 2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item?
Yes, please see

Q: I can't see menu on my test page only direct links...


A: Now on your page you have only search engine friendly code for Deluxe Menu. You do not have a menu.

See more info about the installation of the menu here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

You should paste also such lines, for example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>

and

<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>

Where data.js is the file with your menu. You can create such file using Deluxe Tuner.

You should upload this files on your server in the correct place.
