  • Set the size of the menu in percent, pixels, or other units. This menu may have a relative (it can be inserted into the table, for example) or absolute position .
  • Specify various values for spacing and padding for the whole menu and for each separate submenu.
  • You can specify a time for delays in showing or hiding of a submenu. Use special prefixes for image paths and links to make paths absolute.
  • Create separators using your own pictures, size and alignment.

Recent Questions

Q: Is it possible to add checkboxes to menu items and retrieve the checked items? I need to create a multiple item select menu. So the javascript menu slide would need to remain open and allow a user to select multiple items and would either submit onmouseout or maybe a "submit these selections" javascript menu slide item.

A: You can try to use Deluxe Tree in that case:
http://deluxe-tree.com

You can paste any html code inside item text, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menu1.js

["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
["|Index &nbsp;<select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3 </select>", "", "", "", "", "","", "0"],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> &nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=button value='Go'style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
["|<INPUT TYPE=checkbox CHECKED ID=chk1 onclick='choosebox1()'>Uncheck this check box for some free advice","","","",],

["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],

You should also add your own code, so your checkbox will workcorrectly.



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: At the first time arrow images are loaded successfully in the menu, That time I click the menu and open a new page in crossframe.
After that I try to open new page from Main Menu, the arrow images are not displayed in the Sub-menus.


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: Is there a javascript API for the expandable menu tree to fire an user click event so the browser will load proper page accordingly? I looked around the current APIs from your site and could not find one.

Please advise.

A: You can use dtreet_ext_userClick (itemID) function.
See more info:

Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:

  var tmenuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];

or

  var tmenuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
