Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

Q: Could you please help me with another question?

I am using your regular dhtml menu inside an asp page.
I want to make a call to different javascripts with parameters from different menu items (Which should work fine.. )

I have now been trying to do this by using the alert() java metod....

This line works perfect:
 ["|Test A","javascript:alert('Test');", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", ],

But if I try to write the same line within ASP brachets ( <% %> ) the menu does not show up:

<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert('Test');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>>

I have also found that if I remove the parameter inside the javascript like this:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert();', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>>

the menu will show up and the script will work but since I can not insert any parameter it is pointless..

How can I achieve this?

I really hope you can help me with this one!

A: Try to write your code in the following way:

<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert(\'Test\');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>



Q: I have not been able to get the dhtml context menu - or any other Javascript - to appear. I use FrontPage2000. Any ideas?

A: See how you should install Deluxe Menu on your pages.

Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the dhtml context menuinto your html page:

1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html

That's all.

It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.

Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any dhtml context menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).

Add several rows into your html page.

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml context menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>

<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>

You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.



Q: Is it possible to change the background color of just one of the menu buttons within a javascript expand menu?

A: Yes, it is possible.

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#800000,#FF8080"], //style0
];

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif","deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],

Q: How woud I make all the sub-menu’s height and text smaller in the css dhtml menu?


A: You can create Individual Item Style and assign it to each item insubmenu.

For example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=10px","fontStyle=normal 9px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"],
];

and assign it to each item in submenu:
 ["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
you can also use standard <br> tags.
 ["|Home text<br>text","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
