Q: I'd like to buy a template for creating a basic vertical javascript popout menu that is image based. Can you tell me which of your products I should consider buying? I'm familiar with html, but not other programming languages.
A: If you want to create javascript popout menu you should buy Deluxe Menu,
http://deluxe-menu.com
See the example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/image-based-menu-sample.html
You can also use your own images for the menu items.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
Please, try the trial version at first. It has full functionality.
Q: Do I need to replace the menudir/ in the code with the name of the folder I have placed the .js files?
A: Yes, you should change the name of the folder.
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 install your menu in the following way:
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "deluxe-menu_files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/data.js"></script>
</body>
</span>
Q: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following
Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm
When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.
A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:
var tmenuBackImage="";
var titemBackImage=["",""];
changed to:
var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";
var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];
Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You should set this parameter:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ], ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Blade","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/blade.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Eureka","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/eureka.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||I Pity the Fool","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/ipitythefool.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
You cannot use local paths on your website.
Please, correct it. <
br>You should write for example: ["||24","site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Battlestar Galactica","site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
Try to use also the attached engine .js files on your server.
Q: 1) Can any HTML be inserted in to the text?
2) As the item has no link, how can I prevent the item being highlighted on mouseover?
A: 1) Yes, you can insert any html code within menuItems, for example:
["|You can place <b>any HTML code</b><br> to item, for example <u>image</u>:<br><img src=img/logo.gif>","testlink.html"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'><option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3</select>", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go' style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
2) Yes, you can do it.
You should create Individual Style for it.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#FCEEB0,#FCEEB0","itemBorderColor=,#FCEEB0","fontColor=,#000000"], //style0
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style0
