Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: May I use this menu in Arabic mode I mean in right to left mode?

If yes please let me know how?


A: You're able to use any characters for Deluxe Menu in the same way asyou use them for standard html page.

The only issue is that submenus can be shown in incorrect positionwhen you're using dir=rtl for your page.

  var dmRTL = 0;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.

Use also
  var smViewType = 2;
for right-to-left languages.

Please, see example:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.html

This examples demonstrates how the menu can change a submenusdirection. Use   var smViewType parameter to change a submenusdirection:

  var smViewType = 0..3;

Values:
0 - from left to right;
1 - from left to right + upwards;
2 - from right to left;
3 - from right to left + upwards;

In Deluxe Menu when you call data .js file you can try to specify the encoding:

<script src="data.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.You should manually correct your code.


Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

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">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">  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 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: Hello, you write, that your menu is search engine friendly.

But viewing the source of your samples, I don't see anything search engine friendly in there.

A Javascript is called, that's all, which I doublt could ever be Search Engine friendy?

The only thing I have seen as search engine friendly is the menu you have added at your own homepage.

Can this be set at your menue automatically?

Can you let me know, if the menu supports this kind. Your Features and Functions don't say anything about that either.


A: Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com"&glt;menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>

To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: Hi, I am looking at your Deluxe Menu package. It looks very nice, but I cannot find any kind of manual for how to use it. There's some online documentation on the Tuner, but (for example) I can't find anything that documents the dm_popup window open options. I find some sample code I can copy that has the call

return dm_popup(0, 1000, event)

1. So, what do these parameters mean?
2. It takes a long time for the menu to go away if you don't click anything. From tracing through the obfuscated javascript with firebug, it looks like the second parameter sets a timeout to make the menu go away. But when I change the "1000" to "1", the menu does not appear to behave any differently.
3. If I want to have more than one of these menus show up on the page, how would I do that?
4. I have it set up to show the popup when you right-click a page element. However, the menu items only appear to fire if you then left-click them. This is confusing to the user: I'd like to have the menu items also fire when you right-click them for consistency. How would I configure this?

These are the kinds of questions I would like to have answers to, but I cannot find any relevant documentation. Do I have lots of tracing through javascript ahead of me? If I have just missed the relevant documentation, please tell me where to find it. I would love to use your product, but if I have to spend all my time tracing javascript it's not a big win for me. Thanks for your assistance.

A: 1) You can find window open options info on our website:
http://deluxe-menu.com/popup-mode-sample.html
Click "Show additional info" button on this page.

2) You should adjust the second parameter in dm_popup() function:dm_popup(0, 500, event);

3) See the first parameter in the dm_popup() function is menuInd, soif you want to create several popup menus you should create severaldata file and call them on your page, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0 //standard menu (doesn't use popup feature)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4

and so on.

See how you should call dm_popup() functions:

<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
....

<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(2, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
// 3 - is ID of the fourth menu
... and so on.

4) Unfortunately it is not possible now.

Unfortunately we don't have additional documentation yet. But you canfind all need info on our website. Try to use search field on ourwebsite.

You can dynamically generate the menu structure. For example movemenuItems into your phph page (or embed in a Smarty Template) insideSCRIPT tag:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    var menuItems = [
      ["Terminal","index.php?form=TERMINAL&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Kassenschnitte","index.php?form=KS&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Buchungen Debit","index.php?form=DEBIT&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Kredit- / Bonuskarten","index.php?form=KREDIT&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Rucklastschriften","index.php?form=RLAST&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Monatsstatistik","index.php?form=STATISTIK&tid={$tid}"],
      ["RL-H.Rechnung","index.php?form=RLASTABR&tid={$tid}"],
      ["LiveStream","index.php?form=LIVESTREAM&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Reports","index.php?form=REPORTS&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Datenhistorie","index.php?form=HISTORY&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Bankleitzahlen","index.php?form=BLZ&tid={$tid}"],
      ["<br />Ihre Nutzerdaten","index.php?form=NDATEN&tid={$tid}"],
   ["<br />{$NAVI}",""],
  ];
  dm_init();
</script>
