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.

Q: Can I use my own images as the tabs in a dreamweaver navigation bar?

A: The Drop down menu items have the following structure:
  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];

Where iconNormal, iconOver - Icons of an item: icon in normal state, icon in mouseover state.

So you can set your menu items in a such way:

  var menuItems = [
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
["","", "icon2.gif", "icon2o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon3.gif", "icon3o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon4.gif", "icon4o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon5.gif", "icon5o.gif"],
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
];

Q: I am trying to figure out how to specify the css for the top css dropdown menu.

I saw this in some of the example code, but there was nothing similar in Deluxe Tuner

  var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver" ],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

I tried adding the above to my js code, but it didn't work. I can get it to work in non-css through Deluxe Tuner.

I am trying to draw a white border around the blue css dropdown menu

.topMenu
{
background-color:Blue;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: White;
}

/* Style for submenus */
.submenu
{
}

/* Style for top items: normal state */
.topItemNormal
{
background-color:Blue;
color:White;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform:none;
font-weight:normal;
FONT-SIZE: 11pt;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial;
width:100%;
padding:2px 4px;
}

A:   var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

The following code is Individual Styles. You can edit them in DeluxeTuner.

Open your data file, click "Edit Individual Styles..." button on themain window. And create individual item style and individual submenustyle. Then you should assign these styles to your items.

Q: I now have a tree on the left and an embedded frame on the right. When a user clicks a node, the corresponding html page appears in the frame.

Is there a method I can use when a user clicks a node, the web page will jump to a certain location in the page (menu dhtml hhyperlink)? I'm envisioning using one long web page instead of 30 or 40 separate pages. But I would need the program to work with a hyperlink to know where to jump to.

A: See the structure of tmenuItems array:

  var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFilename],

You can set link and target menu dhtml parameters for each item individually,for example:

  var tmenuItems = [
["Home","files/homepage.html","","","","Home","topframe","","",""],
["Contacts","files/contacts.html","","","","Contacts","bottomframe","","",""],

You can also send us the example, so we can understand your problem.



Q: When I load a page the first tab of the creating tab menu is always highlighted, not the contact tab.

A: I suppose that you've set the following parameter:

  var bselectedItem=1;

So, the first tab is always highlighted.

This Tab menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
(  var bselectedItem,   var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-sidescript (php, asp, etc.)

You should delete this parameter from your data file and write thefollowing code
on each page before you call your data file, for example:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

  var bselectedItem = 3;

</script>
