Recent Questions

Q: As I have stated before, your Deluxe-Menu is very very good.

But there is allways room for improvement.

Is there any chance to see support for the following in Deluxe-Menu:

When I move the mousepointer above a menuitem and right-click I would like to see in the javascript contextual menu (the context menu provided by the browser):

Open Link in new window
Open Link in new tab

If the above is not possible or not something you want to enable.... then, there should be possible to make a workaround to make this work:

I see there is support for custom javascript contextual menus.....
.... is there any possibility to make a custom context menu that show above a menuitem and that show when right clicking on the menuitem.
Should hopefully be possible to create in such way that I create one context menu in javascript (the deluxe menu way... ) , but when clicking on "Open link in new window" from that custom menu, then the JS code should call a javascript function of mine (or yours), with a parameter related to the menuitem that was right-clicked...
And this javascript function should be able to resolve the actual URL (based on the input parameter rel. to the menuitem) and then open a new window using window.open()

If not possible to implement using the native browser context menu, then I belive it should be possible to do it using my workaround how to.....
Just a thought....
Any suggestions on how I can make the workaround work, or if maybe you could support the workaround in some way in future releases of Deluxe-Menu?

A: Yes, there is a workaround.
You can write your items in the following way:
 ["|<a href='http://www.domain.com' class="link">test test test</a>",""],

You should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}


Q: > You should call the following function:
> dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 12)
> where 12 - is index of the item.

How would I know that 12 is the index of the item? How is itemInd different from its itemID? I assume the menuInd is always 0 for the first menu (or only in my case) menu on a page?


A: Yes, menuInd is the number of the menu on your page (in your casemenuInd=0).

itemInd is the number of the item in your menuItems, for example:

  var tmenuItems =
[
["Home", "http://deluxe-tree.com", "icon1_t.gif", "icon1_to.gif","", "Home Page Tip","_blank"],//itemInd=0

["<img src='data_files/images/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],//itemInd=1

["+What's New<br><span id='letter'>This is pretty cool. I need to buy this deluxe menu</span>", "", "icon2_t.gif", "icon2_to.gif", "", "Product Info Tip"],//itemInd=2
 ["|What's New", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=3
 ["|Features", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=4
 ["|Installation", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=5
 ["|Functions", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=6
 ["|Supported Browsers", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=7
["Samples", "", "icon3_t.gif", "icon3_to.gif", "", "Samples Tip"], //itemInd=8
 ["|Sample 1", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=9
 ["|Sample 2", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=10
 ["|Sample 3", "", ""], //itemInd=11
   ["||New Sample 1", "testlink.htm", ""],//itemInd=12
   ["||New Sample 2", "testlink.htm", ""],//itemInd=13



Q: I am struggling with my menu on my site the submenu is under the main text area. How do I make the submenu come to the front.


A: Check your z-index for <DIV id=navigation>.
Try to write it, for example, so:

<DIV id=navigationstyle="Z-INDEX: 10; LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 170px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 5px; HEIGHT: 600px">

Try that.


Q: It actually does work - I got it to work, however some functions like transparency is not working, trial version pop up disappeared and transition when the submenu item comes down is not working - it simply pops the menu down.


A: Please, notice that transitional effects don't work in Firefox.
Effects work in IE only. You can find this info here:
