Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Recent Questions

Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.

When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.

Please let me know. Thanks!


A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.

You can 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.


Q: I've just put together a new drop down menu box for one of the sites I'm working on and whilst in IE it works fine, in FF the drop down menu box is not appearing over the Flash banner.

I don't understand why as this was put together with the latest version of Deluxe Menu - my understanding was that this issue was resolved a while back?

Can you help me sort this.

A: See fix for flash in Firefox here:

Q: How to set the icon vertically top when the menu in dhtml text is wrapped?

A: Unfortunately it is not possible to align icon vertically now.
But you can do it using html code within menu in dhtml items, for example:

  var menuItems = [


["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/orangeDot.jpg' style='border: 0 none;'> &nbsp;Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/orangeDot.jpg' style='border: 0 none;'>&nbsp;&nbsp;Product Info hgdgfjh &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa &nbsp; &nbsp; aaaa","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],



Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.

Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?

A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:

//------- Separators -------
  var separatorWidth = "10";
  var separatorHeight = "20";
  var separatorAlignment = "center";
  var separatorImage = "C";
  var separatorVWidth = "150";
  var separatorVHeight = "10%";
  var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";

You can create separators using menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];

You can also use this parameter:
  var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
