Q: I have set up a menu that uses one 'data.js' file.
However, on ONE page, the menu needs to have three additional items, with a different style.
Is there a way to add the three items with a different style via javascript on that one page?
I think I know how to handle the styles, but I'm unsure how to add the three new items without using two differerent 'data.js' files- which is how I have it set up for the time being. You may want to visit the site to see what I mean.
A: You can use dm_ext_addItem() function to add items.
Please, see how you should write this function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
< SCRIPT src="Welcome to Catawba Animal Clinic, P_A_files/data.js" type=text/javascript> </SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Request Form","request.htm", , , , "_self", "0", "-1", , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Policies","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Express Checkout Info","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
You should upload dmenu_dyn.js file on your server.
In your data.js file you should add need Individual Item Styles.
Q: Can you please write me, can I have the active menu button in the javascript menu generator different color display.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: All java script html menu tabs seem to have white in the upper corners rather than transparent.
A: You should delete white color and make corners transparent in anyGraph editor, for example in Photoshop.

Q: I need to set individual itemtargets for a number of items in the navigation bar menu...
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_blank";
or
var itemTarget="main";
where main - is the name of the main frame where you want to open the link
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
...
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
