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 currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.

However, I can only choose one item in each menu.

Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?

Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:

dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);

A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.

Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight

dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);



Q: I have seen menu like this when i scroll the page the manu will scroll follow.....can delux menu do that ?
If can how ?


A: You should use floatable feature.

You should set absolute coordinates for your menu
  var absolutePos=1;
  var posX="10px";
  var posY="10px";

  var floatable=1;

You should also check that you have dmenu_add.js file in the samefolder with dmenu.js.


Q: I was testing your suite and I like it very much, but I do have problems with IE 7 (last updates) on a winXP Pro machine. The javascript menu sample doesn't show up on the site. Do you know something about this or can you tell me what I have made wrong? I tried the normal export and also the export code for search friendly sites.

Please give me a short hint, what I must change.
Looking forward in hearing from you soon

A: Try to set exact width for the menu.

  var menuWidth="400px";
