Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Q: I try to fix the height of the submenu "Zone Climatiques" to 400px but I didn't find the way to do this. It worked by setting   var smHeight=400px but that setting set all submenus. I would like set only the height of "Zone climatiques" submenu.
  Thanks for your help.


A: You should create Individual Style

  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
["smHeight=400px"],
];

and assign it to the first item in submenu
["3101 - Ste-Anne-Des-Monts","ProcessClimaticZone/edit.do?id=3101,2003-11-13", , , , , ,"1","stationSubMenu.htm?climaticZoneId=3101,2003-11-13",],


Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.

It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.

The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.

For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.

I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you for your answer.

A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:

menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif

You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.

This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).

IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)

You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.

So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/multiple-styles-1-template-sample.html
