Recent Questions

Q: I have a question that I cannot find in your FAQ section about your Deluxe Tree Menu.

Bought the whole set a few days ago and is very happy about it, I am uzzled & frustrated about one thing now though.

- = Link

+ = Link with subCat.

I have a menu that looks something like this:

- Home

+ Our products

+ FAQ

+ Stores

- Contact

+ Wholeseller

+ About us

Now every link here has a icon/s to the right that shows if the category is folded up or not. Trouble is that so has the - Home and - Contact that DON'T have any subitems! How to create dhtml menu so those two tree items won't get the rightsided icons?

The frustrating/confusing thing is if I place - Home or - Contact into lets say + Our products, the right side icon goes away and there it looks as I want it. But I NEED it to look this way in the top section.

A: You have icons in the top items on the right side in XP-style only.

You can set the following parameter to turn off XP-style:

  var tXPStyle=0;



Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the menu in java script so that a menu selection stays 'on'?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.


A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<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=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Please see more info here:

Q: You have a great, and very intuitive and easy to learn, product.

I'm down to two dumb questions:

A. What controls the little red arrows? I'd like them on every one of the navigators.
B. How do I create equal space between the drop down menu items? It looks weird right now.

A: 1) If your top item has a submenu this arrow will appear automatically.

For the items without submenus you may write:

["Home   <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","index.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About Us   <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","about_us.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can find arrowmain11.gif image in the attached example.

Actually you can add any html code inside item's text.

2) Set the drop down menu padding:

  var itemPadding="3px 15px 3px 3px";

Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.

Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?

A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:

//------- Separators -------
  var separatorWidth = "10";
  var separatorHeight = "20";
  var separatorAlignment = "center";
  var separatorImage = "C";
  var separatorVWidth = "150";
  var separatorVHeight = "10%";
  var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";

You can create separators using menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];

You can also use this parameter:
  var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
