Q: I am testing out your menu system as I try to redesign my site. It is a vertical menu with submenus.
I have hundreds of pages in my site and I'd like to be able to attach your menu system to all of them.
However, I will be making changes to the menu system on a regular basis.
I do not want to go change every program in the site each time I need to make a menu change.
I was hoping you could give me some kind of programming code that I could enter into the <body> section of my html files which would automatically read a file into my prograrm, which contained the menu code.
This way when a menu change is needed, I edit one file, all the programs read that file and display the menu.
As an example of the code I would want read into a webpage at start up:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/dmenu.js"></script>
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 9px Verdana;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" HREF="500main.htm">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" HREF="tixbbs.htm" TARGET="text">For Sale</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Place Ad</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">Sources</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
A: If you change the menu parameters only there is no need to change code on each page. You should only replace your old data file (data-deluxe-menu.js) with the new one.
If you don't want to install your menu on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Please, see more info about cross-frame mode here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html
Also you can use a server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from templates on your server.
Q: Is there any way can we display sub level menu items on mouse over of first level menu items using tabs (Text Style Javascript Dhtml Tab / Java Script Tab Script Text Style / Javascript Tab Navigation Text Style / Javascript Tabbed Menus XP Style)
A: Unfortunately, you can do it on mouseover with Deluxe Tabs.
But you can create such menu using Deluxe Menu.
Q: I have been trying for months to find an answer to my submenu problem using your FAQ and Recent Questions.
The only thing that comes close to an answer is from one of your Recent Questions below, but I don't understand the answer. Will you please give me specific code or info to fix? Please refer to my frameset code and data.js info, which I've provided further down this message.
I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file, it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top javascript hide menu.
A: Yes, I suppose that the reason is in your frame structure. For examplenow you have:
top -------------------
**MENU**
left--|main------------
|
| **submenus**
|
Try to add additional frame in your top frame with the same width asyour left frame has:
l-top-|right-top-----------------
| **MENU**
left--|main----------------------
|
| **submenus**
|Q: We're running deluxe_tree version 1.0. We are getting the following error:
_tsw is not defined
[Break on this error] String.prototype.sb=function(tss,te){return this.substring(tss,te)};String.proto...
dtree.js (line 14)
Any ideas? Should we upgrade to the latest version? If so, what it the upgrade path for us? Will we have to modify our data-tree.js file?
A: Yes, try to use Deluxe Tree v2.4.
See in Deluxe tree you should specify correct tWorkPath parameter:
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="menudir/";</script> otn=tx/tl hre=T-"/ mt ae"ecito"cnet"nac orwbiewt it utn n e c
This parameter should point to the same folder with dtree.js file.When you use movable or floatable feature you should copy dtree_add.jsfile in the same folder with dtree.js file.
