Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: I am currently tasked with creating a large intra-type net for our company. ( knowledge base, FAQ etc. for internal use only ).

At this time I am making plain text or table based menus and getting tired of having to add the drop menus to EVERY page individually in our little intra-web. I would like to purchase software that makes groovy looking menus, but also get the information needed to have them appear on ALL pages after editing the menu once if you know what I mean.

Unfortunately my web authoring experience is best suited to circa-1996 web pages I can hash out in notepad in my sleep. However, I have been told in order to do what I am doing I need to use CSS or styles or cascading stylesheets and not sure if your software will do that.

If I purchase this software and whip up a neat little menu, would you be able to send me information on how to include it in a css as I described above? I would essentially need to know the code or commands to have it appear in all of the pages I create, once I make the menu file. If that is something you can assist me with, I can purchase this right away.

A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.

If you don't want to create your drop menus on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.



Q: My office-colleague gilles petremand just bought your "deluxe menu" and all-in-all it looks great!!!!

What we don't manage to do is to create a moving java menu sample based on.

Is this only possible with the "ms office toolbar-like mode" 'coz we'd like to use the image based menue template and change it to a moving one - POSSIBLE?!?

A: To create a movable or floatable menu you should set severalparameters in your data file only.

See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/movable-menu-sample.html
To create movable menu you should set the following parameters:
//--- Movable Menu
  var movable=1;
  var moveWidth=12;
  var moveHeight=20;
  var moveColor="#AA0000";
  var moveImage="movepic2x20.gif";
  var moveCursor="move";
  var smMovable=1;
  var closeBtnW=13;
  var closeBtnH=16;
  var closeBtn="closebtn.gif";

http://deluxe-menu.com/floatable-menu-sample.html
To create floatable menu you should set the following parameters:
//--- Floatable Menu
  var floatable=1;
  var floatIterations=6;
  var floatableX=1;

Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.

However, I can only choose one item in each menu.

Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?

Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:

dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);

A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.

Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight

dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);



Q: I can not however find the option to move submenus closer together, I have too much ident for my taste.
How can I change that, by hand if that is the only way...

I mean this:

MENU1
    +    SUBMENU1

I would like

MENU1
   + SUBMENU1

Is that possible?


A: If you don't want to have icons before item text you can write so:

//------- Icons -------
  var ticonWidth = 0;
  var ticonHeight = 0;
  var ticonAlign = "left";

Your items will be closer to the "+" buttons.
