Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Recent Questions

Q: I have a issue involving the location of the files.

What is the correct method of referencing the webroot (document root) in the deluxe tuner?

I ask because I have some pages that are in a sub folder on the server.
eg. index page is http://www.domain.com/index.html
but another page might be at
http://www.domain.com/somedir/somepage.html

And then the references do not work.
Currently I am editing the data.js file after saving it in deluxe tuner.


A: If you want to use relative paths you should write your links in thefollowing way.

If you have, for example such file structure:

     deluxe-menu_files/
      dmenu.js
      data.js
     images/
     html_pages/
      page1.html
      page2.html

     index.html

So, you should write write all your paths concerning index.html file.
For example, you paths will be:
    ["HOME","html_pages/page1.html", , , , "_self", "-1", , , ],
    ["ABOUT US","html_pages/page2.html", , , , , , , , ],

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner can't do it automatically. You shouldcorrect your paths manually.

You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
    ["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: I would like to reduce or remove the indentation between submenus. That way I can save space for the menu. How can I set indentation?
I would like to change the height of the submenu items (no icons used). How can I do that?


A: Unfortunately, you cannot reduce the indent between main items inXP-Style.

To reduce the indentation between submenus you should set thefollowing parameter:

  var titemHeight=15;


Q: ["item text", "javascript:your_code_here", ...]

This won't work the java script executes when the link is clicked it is not the link itself.
Below is what I normally use and how would I incorporate that?

<a onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');return false;" href="web/equipment/hydraulic_truck.htm">


A: I'm not sure I understand you.
You can use

NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');

code in an item link:

["text", "javascript:NewWindow(url,'name','490','400','yes');"]

But if you don't want that, you can just insert <a> into an item text.


Q: The asp drop down menu should indicate with on which page I me just considers
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, but
you can highlight menu items in two ways:

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">  var pressedItem=3;</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.
