Q: I have another question:
Menu behavior in SAFARI is does not properly work compared to EXPLORER.
If you have a look at the site via SAFARI, please do the following:
Example:
Under menu "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
It will then show a left hand menu. Please select "2008/2010".
It will correctly show content.
Then if you try to select again via menu "Projets"; the html menu navigation does not show anymore the submenus. You still need to click a menu without submenus, like "News", and then afterwards you can click "Projets" and the system will again show submenus.
This strange behaviour does not appear in EXPLORER nor in FIREFOX.
A: The problem is in your frame structure after you open "Projets" select "par pays" then "Afrique" then "Algerie".
Your menu won't work correctly with such frame structure.
You should use the following frame structure for all pages at once:
--------------------------------------------------------
topFrame with the html menu navigation
--------------------------------------------------------
Algerie_leftFrame |
with | Algerie_mainFrame
Tree Menu |
--------------------------------------------------------
bottomFrame
--------------------------------------------------------
and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);
Or you shouldn't use Algerie_leftFrame and Algerie_mainFrame at all (use one mainFrame) and write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);Q: I have generated my navigation menu bar and want to incorporate it into my current website.
How do I resize and position the navigational menu inside a table?
A: 1) Resize:
You could specify exact width for menu using that parameter:
var menuWidth="400px";
You can also set exact width for each top item using Individual Item Styles:
var itemStyles = [ ["itemWidth=120px"],];
var menuItems = [ ["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];
2) Position the navigational menu inside a table:
You can paste the menu inside the <div> or <table> tag, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
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: What i am doing is a horizontal menu with submenus opening down vertically. The main menu and sub menu has a background image. These are rather large for a menu and when the sub menu expands i want it to stay below the main menu and not go upwards to cover the main menu when the browser window is too small.
A: Yes, they will stay forcibly below the main menu.
You can use Smart Scrollable Feature. In that case sub menus won't cover
the main menu items. You can see an example here
http://deluxe-menu.com/scrollable-submenus-sample.html
You may specify the exact height for submenus, for example:
var smHeight="500px";
Use the following parameters to set the direction for submenus:
var subMenuAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="top";
