Q: Is it possible to insert a dhtml foldout menu item at the top of the submenu? For example, if a dhtml foldout menu is defined as:
var menuItems = [
["Search","","","","","","1","0"],
["|Residential","srch.php","","","","","0"],
["|VacantLand","srch.php?cri","","","","","0"],
["|Commercial/Industrial","srch.php","","","","","0"]];
How can I add a new item above “Residential?” I’ve tried the following with no luck — the forth argument does not seem to be used:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 1, ["New Sample", "testlink.htm", "", "", "Your Sample Tooltip", "middle", 0], 0)
A: To insert item in the specific position you should use thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Q: I'm having difficulty understanding how to set up css drop down menus. The differences between menuStyles, itemStyles, CSS and CSSText is very unclear, and doesn't seem to be well documented.
Do you have any better documentation or writeup on using this feature?
A: No, unfortunately we don't have additional documentation. You can findall info on our site.
We have several examples of the menus using css.
You should set var cssStyle=1; parameter and then assign your stylesto the items.
var cssSubmenu is a CSS class name for all submenus. You can set, forexample, background color, background image, borders for all submenus.
var cssItem is CSS class names for all items (normal state, mouseoverstate) in the top menu and submenus.
var cssItemText is CSS class names for text of all items (normalstate, mouseover state) in the top menu and submenus.
It's possible to appoint individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu using individual item styles and individual submenu styles.
