Q: I am evaluating your fine menu builder application.
Please let me know the following:
a) How could I call a script instead of specifying a link?
["|Product A","http://dhtml-menu.com","","","",,"0",],
b) If the above is possible, please let me know how, in the called script, I could know where the call to the script come from.
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(...)", ...]
];
Q: I really like how this works and I think it will wind up working for us, but I have a question. On the xp style dynamic tree menu, is there a way when you click one of the 'headers' that will open up other choices for example on your http://www.deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html tree. When youclick either the deluxe tree:xp style or the samples gallery or the samples gallery2 section, can you make it so it opens a page in another frame? The way it is now you it wont open a page until you click on the 'samples block 1' or below.
A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But theoretically you can use links for the top items. You can write
["<a href='index.html' class='home' target="frame">Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="frame">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I am working currently with deluxe-menu and am perfectly happy so far except one little thing: Does there exist a way to have the mousepointer being a hand instead of the regular pointer while going over the menu (like it would be regular links)?
A: You should set this parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
In this case you'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.
Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: I was wondering how do i add more then five items on the top of the select menu javascript rathere then using a sub menu?
A: Actually you can add as many top items as you want.
Use Deluxe Tuner to add more items or add them in your data filemanually, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","whatsnew.htm", "Buttons/whatsnewup.jpg", "Buttons/whatsnewover.jpg", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 2","test.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 3","index.htm", "Buttons/homeup.jpg", "Buttons/homeover.jpg", "", "_parent", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 4","about.htm", "Buttons/aboutup.jpg", "Buttons/aboutover.jpg", "", "_parent", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","commserv.htm", "buttons/commservup.jpg", "buttons/commservover.jpg", "", "_parent", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","conference.htm", "buttons/conferenceup.jpg", "buttons/conferenceover.jpg", "", "_parent", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 7","lodges.htm", "buttons/districtsup.jpg", "", "", "_parent", "", "", "", "", "", ],
