Q: I've been trying to get the menu item in dynamic tree menu to stay highlighted when clicked on and directed to that page.
A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state.
It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
To expand specific items you should use the following function:
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: Is it possible to show a menu item in the simple navigation bar as selected by default to indicate what the current page is?
A: The 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">Javascript Menu 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" 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 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.
Q: The problem is now that I have a scroll bar in the main menus although there is nothing to scroll.
Do you have any ideas?
A: You've set the exact width and height for submenus.
var smWidth = "100";
var smHeight = "250px";
var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=220px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=200px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=120px","smHeight=250px"],
];
Try to write:
var smWidth = "";
var smHeight = "";
var menuStyles = [
[""],
[""],
[""],
];
There will be no scroll bar in the main menus.
Q: I now have the need to introduce separators on the menu.
Can you tell me how to do that?
I cannot find any documentation telling me how this is done.
A: Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="3";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Try that.
