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: But what mean the message "Incorrect Copyright" that you see on the javascript menu ie TABS on our website? Because we did the solution that you described in the original message that I copy you below. In some computers appears this messages in other not.
The key that is in the .js file.
A: Installation of your menu is not correct:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-tabs.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<!--script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/dtabs.js"></script-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
You should write:
<noscript><p><a href="http://deluxe-tabs.com">javascript menu ie by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></p></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
Try that.
Q: At the very beginning of each javascript close menu item (exception for top level item using "XP-Style") there is always a small gap of 2px width.
Firebug show me this small piece of code :
***********************************
<td id="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img id="" width="2" height="1" border="0" style="display:
block;" src="images/blank.gif"/>
</td>
***********************************
Is there a way to avoid this ?
A: You should set the following parameter in that case:
var tXPBorderWidth=0;
Q: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?
A: You can do it in three ways now.
1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:
function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.
3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
