Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: Thank you for your prompt reply. But i was wondering where should I paste this code? Can you please explain the working of the javascript toolbar menu function
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)

I have 5 items in the javascript toolbar menu : Admin Options, Status Report, Remarks, Edit Profile, Data Entry.

I want to disable some fields for different users.
I have 3 role id's set in my database.
I want certain fields disabled for different users.
For eg : For Roleid =1 , i.e admin , I want all items to be visible.
For Roleid =2 , i dont want the Admin Options to be visible.
For Roleid=3 , I dont want Admin Options & Status reports.

Can you please elaborate on the working of the changeItemVisibility function. I was confused as there were no examples to demonstrate the code.

A: Notice also that you should set

  var dynamic=1;

parameter to use API functions.



Q: I created a custom error page for a site, but the menu would not display.

I found that this was due to the erroneous "current directory" in the bad link test, for a non-existent directory.

which is: level2/level3/

I changed the script code from:
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>

to:

<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>

adding the "/" before "DMworkfiles/dmenu.js" source reference allowed the .js file to be found in the root directory and the menu would display.

The problem is that the little menu "expansion" arrow .gif cannot be found in the "current working directory" of level2/level3/. just little "blanks" show.

I tried changing:
  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";

to:
  var dmWorkPath = "/DMworkfiles/";

but that did not enable the display of the arrows.

I also had to prefix all of the links in the menu with a "/" to indicate the root directory because of the "current directory" for the bad page.

I hope I have explained the problem sufficiently.
What am I doing wrong or missing here?


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters


Q: What I need to do to use drop down menu generator on my mac?

download it from the link in your license message).

Q: I am currently having a look at the use of your drop down menu and was wondering if there was an option to make all of the top menu links the same size?
At current It looks like it is on a percentage increase related to the amount of text, can I change this to a fixed value no matter the text amount?

A: You can use Individual Item Style.

Use that parameter:

  var itemWidth=100px

Width of an item (px, % or other units).

For example:

  var itemStyles = [

["itemWidth=150"], // style 0
];

  var menuItems = [

["Home", "index.html", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "Home Page Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
["About", "about.html", "myicon3.gif", "myicon4.gif", "About Us Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
];
