Q: I have placed my horizontal menu in javascript (1003 px width) in a table whose width is 1003px my dropdowns span from extreme left to extreme right (screen shots attached) by default the dropdown is leaving 20 pixels margins on both the ends which disturbs my layout. This happens when my screen resolution is 1024 x 768, when viewed in higher or wide screen monitors this problem does not arise. Please suggest a solution.
Appreciate your response.
A: This is space to document borders. We've set this space, so that yoursubmenus will not look like the part of browser window. If you wantyou can delete that space.
Open engine file for horizontal menu in javascript - dmenu.js - file in any text editor and find the following code:
space=15;
Change 15 to 0.
space=0;
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: I need a menu system where on the click of certain items, server side code on the page can be called and executed. Can that be done using deluxe menu?
A: You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Q: Is it possible via code customization to remove the border only for the top level of popup navigation
and subsequent menu levels with the border?
If yes, would you provide technical assistance with the required code change?
A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];
And assign it for top items:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
