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.

Recent Questions

Q: Is it possible that a menuitem of the js dropdown menu stays highlighted after clicking and loading the new html site?


A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.

You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

You can also set the correct
  var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.



Q: Normally, when the list of items under a menu is longer (tall) than the browser, the menu will follow (auto scroll) with your cursor.
When I use cross frames, and the list is longer (tall) than the frame area, it will not auto scroll.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?


A: Unfortunately, it is really so.
You can't use "auto scroll" in cross frame mode. You should to scroll your page.


Q: "Tools/Use utf8 encode" from my Deluxe Tuner is turned on (with check in it). You mean I will have to uncheck it?

No problem with my pages... it is only with the java swing drop down menu because there are words that doesn't show the correct letters / characters I am encoding both in French and Spanish pages. My boss said, it looks like a virus..(lol..)

A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, youshould set UTF-8 encode on your page too

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">

If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.

You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent

  var menuItems = [

["&Eacute;....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: We have a problem with the submenus going cross-frame.
Whenever there is a webpage from another website in the content/target-frame the frameset twists and all the pages are shown in the topframe. A lot of the information on our web is in office word-files and when they are opened in the content/target-frame the same cross-frame-problem happens. Is it only possible for the sub-menus to go cross-frame when one of our own webpages is shown in the target-frame?


A: See more info about cross-frame mode here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

Notice, the menu will work correctly in the cross-frame mode if you load pages into the sub frame from the same domain.
If you load pages from another domain submenus won't be shown in the subframe - they will be shown in the frame with the top-menu.
It's caused by a security policy of browsers - a script can't modify a content of pages from another domain.
