- Keyboard navigation - press Ctrl+F2 to enter the top menu - Submenus go over all page objects - Horizontal or vertical orientation - Submenus automatically scrolls - Top items and submenus have a shadow - Search feature - add the search area in the menu and type symbols. - Text aligned to left - Transition #14 - "fade out" effect
Submenus drop down over all the objects of the page (select, flash, object, embed, applet). If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object, the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.
Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!
Q: There seems to be a "glitch" when I use Firefox. I have rebuilt the page twice but I always end up with themenu floating to the left, instead of under the main menu (the second or third mouseover will correct the issue). Also, sometimes I have to mouseover twice before the submenu comes up (in I.E.).
I have validated...however I wondered if there could be a conflict in the javascripting (yours and mine). Any suggestions?
A:The reason is in your <!DOCTYPE>.
Try to specify units in "px". var menuWidth="780px"; var menuHeight="27px"; var smWidth="200px"; var smHeight="200px"; It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You can also try to set the following parameter: var dm_writeAll=1;
Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12 How can I upgrade to v.2.0?
A:How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1. 1.1 For Windows users a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0 (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0 http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip). b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/OpenЕ c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor. b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are: - dmenu.js - dmenu4.js - dmenu_add.js - dmenu_dyn.js - dmenu_key.js - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00) - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: Thanks, we tried giving var pressedItem=0; and the script as below:
<script type="text/javascript"> onload=setPressed; function setPressed() { dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0); } </script>
We are facing 2 problems
1) Two menus are getting highlighted, the "Home" and the dynamic html menu which is called onLoad using dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0); function)
2) The submenu of the dm_ext_setPressedItem (0,8,0,0) is not getting highlighted.
A: Try to set var pressedItem=-2;
dm_ext_setPressedItem function has a following parameters: function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
So, if you want to highlight item in the submenu you should use itemInd of this item (notitemInd of the parent item).
