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: Is there a way to programmatically specify which tab is selected in the html tabs navigation?

A: You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

Q: I want you to start modifying on your menu items in menu.js to get the caption from prestext. If you look at the bottom of commonfooter.html, you will see code like

<a target="_top" class="sidenav" href="<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<%
=sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>" onclick="RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')">
<%=GetPresText("WillCreatorBug",rsmenu)%></a>


A: You can use any html tags within item text, for example:

  var menuItems = [

["<a target='_top' class='sidenav' href='<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<% =sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>'
onclick='RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')'>Home<%=GetPresText('WillCreatorBug',rsmenu)%></a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],


Q: I figure I'm missing something basic ....

I've created a simple horizontal menu and uploaded the various files to to my website go generate the bar food menu

How do I add content to each tab rollovers so that the content will appear on this same page (as opposed to having to move to another page)?

i.e. when you click on starters, you see the starter below,
when you click on mains you see the mains below
etc. etc.

I'm new to this .....

A: You should paste your content in the <div> .. </div> tags.

<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DM.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Menu.com"></p>
</div>

<div id="content2" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DT.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Tree.com"></p>

</div>

<div id="content3" style=" visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/logo_DTabs.gif" width=254 height=58 alt="Deluxe-Tabs.com"></p>
</div>

See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:

1.   var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of theDIV's to show when you click on the tab rollovers.

["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

2.   var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.

["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
     ["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],

You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')

So, you should write for example:

 ["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],


Q: Can you tell me what fields control the lines around the top level of menu items?
What fields control the lines around each sub-menu item?
I would like to test and see if the program will allow me to create a top menu that displays as follows:
Home   |   Proposal Reponses   |   Marketing Info   |

As you can see I would like no borders around the top level and a tilda (vertical line) separator between each top level menu item.

For the sub-menu items I would like there to be a thin line box around the sub-menu but no lines in between each item within the sub-menu. What fields control these paramenters?


A: Home   |   Proposal Reponses   |   Marketing Info   |

Yes, you can create such menu.

Please, use Individual styles.

Set these parameters:
  var menuBorderWidth=1;
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=0"], //style 0
];

["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , "0", , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],

To add lines between main items you can paste the separators.

Please, see the following parameters:

//------- Separators -------
  var separatorWidth = "10";
  var separatorHeight = "20";
  var separatorAlignment = "center";
  var separatorImage = "C";
  var separatorVWidth = "150";
  var separatorVHeight = "10%";
  var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";

You can create separators using menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
