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 downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner and love the menus it makes. I'm havinga major problem centering the expandable menu in a table. I'm using FrontPage 2002 but added thescript into the page via notepad. No matter what I try, the expandable menu stays on the left ofthe table. Do you have any suggestions? I'm sure you must have a list of problemsassociated with FrontPage. Can you please help me?


A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the followingparameter and install the menu in the following way:

  var absolutePos=0;

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

<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript"
src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>


Q: I'm trying to have two separate menus on my web page. I read what was written in your FAQs about multiple menus, but the response was too cryptic.

It seems to me that if the dmWorkPath for each menu is declared separately, then the menus should work separately (with no interaction). I did not find this to be the case.

Do you have more complete information about creating multiple menus on one page? I would like to understand the issues.


A: David, if you want to create multiple menus on one page you should only call several data.js files with the menu.

For example you can see templates.html. You can find this file in the trial package.


Q: Under Parameters ->> Dimensions ->menuWidth
Even I change the value such as 150px it doesn't have any effect on javascript dhtml menu itself.

Changing menuHeight property such as menuHeight = 123px moves menu down from the top of the page instead of changing height of the menu itself.

I used templates ->> vista -> vista style 3-03 to generate the javascript dhtml menu and modified it.

A: See, you have itemWidth and itemHeight in the Individual Style.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=94px","itemHeight=23px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=bold 10px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF", "itemBackImage=data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan.gif,data-vista-3-03.files/btn_cyan2.gif"],
];

You cannot set the less value for the menuwidth in that case. You canset only the bigger value:

  var menuWidth="550px";

To change the menuHeight you should also use itemHeight parameter, forexample

itemHeight=123px



Q: Could I create a function that displays thetab that the user clicked in the left tab menu.
These tabs are all within the same window, sothe page will always be the same.
Just need a function to make differenttabs appear.

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.

You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.

For example:

<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
