Q: Can I choose what items will be expanded or collapsed in the php tree view
when the user first comes to the webpage?
A: You can expand some items by default.
Add '+' sign before items text in that case:
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "deluxe-tree.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Home","testlink.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_s.gif", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", "data-new.js", ],
"Deluxe Tree: XP Style" item will be expanded by default in that case.
Use var texpanded=1; parameter to expand all menu items by default.
Use function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand) API function to expand the specificmenu items dynamically:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.htmlQ: I know. I have two menus on the page and I am not using beforeItemImage orafterItemImage for the top menu in javascript (the one you referenced below), but I need it for the second menu. The parameters for that menu are in mainnav_data.js.
Even when I only call dmWorkPath and dmenu.js once, it does not work.
A: See, it is not correctly to use image-based items:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
and specify beforeItemImage/afterItemImage parameters. They won't work in that case.
You can create such buttons in the following ways:
1) Use image-based menu (images with text).
Create normal and mouse-over state images (with text) for each item:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/new.gif", "mainnav_data.files/new2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx.gif", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
2) Use combined background for the menu in javascript items (images without text).
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
You cannot use these two methods together!Q: When I roll my mouse over my menu, it appears halfway down the page, not next to the menu. This only happens when I enclose the code in <div></div> layers. Is there a way to fix this?
A: It is possible that you have some problems with your css.
The problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add <DIV id=SiteMenu>
to the
style="position:absolute;"
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=SiteMenu style="position:absolute;">
Check that.
Q: I’m trying to setup a simple DHTML MENU (TREE MENU). It works just fine. I just have an issue that I can’t solve.
The parameter “ var tmenuHeight = "0"; Your documentation says the following
-----------
Height of the menu in (px, % or other units).
If the value 0 - the menu sets its height automatically.
If the value is small - scrollbars appear.
In IE it looks fine but I cannot see the menu in Firefox. When I set the parameter to for example 100 then it shows up both in IE and Firefox. But I cannot set a value in pixels. I don’t know how big the menu is because it’s dynamically built. According to your doc I can specify the value in percentage but this doesn’t work. When I set the value to “100%” it doesn’t show up in Firefox again.
How can I solve this issue?
A: Try to set this parameter in the following way:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
