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.

Recent Questions

Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".

How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.

Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.

Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.

If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.

You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.


Q: I've been trying to get the menu item in dynamic tree menu to stay highlighted when clicked on and directed to that page.

A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state.
It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)

<script type="text/javascript">

  var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}


To expand specific items you should use the following function:
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);


Q: Thnx, it works now, just one more question :-)

I use frames on my website, the target frame name is main.
But when i put main as target in the simple javascript drop down menu, it loads as a new windows, do you know what i'm doing wrong?

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", "", "", "", "", "", ],



Q: first - the deluxe menu is a nice tool, greatly.

but I have 2 little problems:
- I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, I can't found the parameter
- I wish the actual site (dhtml vertical menu item) in another colour

A: > - I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, i cant found the parameter
Check that you have correct
  var menuWidth="";
parameter.

You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.

> - I wish the actual site (menu item) in another colour
You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"], //style0
];

  var menuItems = [

["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];
