Recent Questions

Q: Would it be possible at some point to introduce more font decoration options to the mouseover variables, I would like to add bold as a mouseover font decoration, but obviously this is not possible at the moment.


A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.

You should addthe following code in your data file:

function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}

  var menuItems = [

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Hardware</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],



Q: Greetings. How do I make a menu item as default selected and open when the page loads with the dhtml menu bar script? Thanks.

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu bar script 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=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dhtml menu bar script 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.



Q: What I would like to see is the ability to have a base site navigation menu with all the definitional entries (size, locations, icons, etc.) defined but all the menuitems be called from an Ajax file.

A: You cannot use ajax submenus for the top items.
But you can use several .js file, for example:

params.js //file with all menu parameters (size, locations, icons, etc.)
all code before
  var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();

data_ajax1.js //data files for ajax submenus
data_ajax2.js
data_ajax3.js
...

main_data.js - data file with the following code:

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();

You can also place this code into your html page directly (in the place where you want tohave a menu):

<script type="text/javascript">
  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();


Q: I already have your product.  I need to know if I can call js functions using the .js file in java menu sample.


A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.

You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];

  var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
