2.0 Buttons by Web-Buttons.com v3.0.0

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.

Q: Sorry to bother you again, but we've done everything suggested in your fix regarding flash obscuring the multiple drop down menu, but we're still having the same problem in Firefox.

We've - set the parameter in the data file to -   var dmObjectsCheck=1;

We've added the following to the start of the data file -

function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}

We've embeded the flash as suggested to -

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
height="150" width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed height="150" name="if-header"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
src="images/flash/if-header.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="732" quality="best"
wmode="opaque" play="true">
</object>

But still our multiple drop down menu sits behind the flash. Are we missing something else?

A: See it is necessary to have opaque parameters in <object> and <embed>tags to display submenus correctly in Firefox.

So, you should open .js file for your flash and find "embed" and"object" words.
And add opaque parameters, for example:

swfNode = '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" src="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') +'"';
swfNode += ' id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" name="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" ';
  var params = this.getParams();
for(  var key in params){ swfNode += [key] +'="'+ params[key] +'" '; }
  var pairs = this.getVariablePairs().join("&");
if (pairs.length > 0){ swfNode += 'flashvars="'+ pairs +'"'; }
swfNode += '/>';
} else { // PC IE
if (this.getAttribute("doExpressInstall")) {
this.addVariable("MMplayerType", "ActiveX");
this.setAttribute('swf', this.xiSWFPath);
}
swfNode = '<object id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') + '">';
swfNode += '<param name="movie" value="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> ';
  var params = this.getParams();
for(  var key in params) {
swfNode += '<param name="'+ key +'" value="'+ params[key] +'" />';
}



Q: A brief one on dynamic menu in the perspective of bilinguism

I understood from the tuner that a menu can be made dynamic (although it is somewhat minimally documented ;-))

Leaving alone all the beautiful sophisticated and complex mechanic of it

Say I have my main menu that says :
  var dynamic=1; (that's all I got from the doc ..)

And then

  var menuItems = [

["Choice 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choice 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["Choice 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choice 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Minimalist ? ;-) right ?

1/ first I'm not too sure about what exactly in order are these 11 parameters although I'm fine with the only 4 I have here

2/ if I would want to change on the fly menu javascript dropdown page on a PHP parameter Page1.php?lang=French (I perfectly master how to capture the PHP value)

So that My menu becomes on the fly

["Choix 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choix 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choix 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choix 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this

PS : And although I used hardly 1% of deluxe capability my first customer is very happy about it..

A: Actually you can find all info about the menu javascript dropdown parameters and featureson our website:

To change the menu items on the fly you can use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)


Q: Here is a snapshot from the javascript drop down menu:

["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],

 ["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],

 ["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],

If I click on test1 which is a Norwegian newspaper, it works.

But it I click on test2 which is a link to my page – it does not work.

A: You cannot use "" symbols within menuItems. It is not correct.
Try to write your javascript drop down menu items in the following way:

["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
 ["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
 ["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],



Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12
How can I upgrade to v.2.0?


A: How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.

   Step 1.
     1.1 For Windows users
      a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
           (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
           http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
      b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/OpenЕ
      c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

     1.2 For other OS users
      a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
      b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

        var keystrokes = 0;
        var dm_focus = 1;
        var dm_actKey = 113;

        var dynamic = 0;
        var smHideOnClick = 1;
        var itemAlignTop = 'left';
        var smSmartScroll = 1;

        var dmAJAX = 0;
        var dmAJAXCount = 30;
        var dmRTL = 0;
        var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
        var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
        var menuHeight = "";
        var transDuration2 = 200;

If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

      c. Save the file.

   Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.

   Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>

   Step 4. Save HTML-page.

   Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.
They are:
      - dmenu.js
      - dmenu4.js
      - dmenu_add.js
      - dmenu_dyn.js
      - dmenu_key.js
      - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
      - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)

Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.

Try that.
