Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Recent Questions

Q: Typically in order to generate a menu with multiple layers I’d put a pipe character in front of the menu text..  For example:

 ["|Page Admin","/admin/handoutadmin.php", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Student Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=1", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Teacher Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=2", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Family Letters","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=4", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Transparencies","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=3", , , , "_new", , , , ],

  However, when I try to do it with dm_ext_addItem it actually SHOWS the pipe character and doesn’t create any menu levels at all. 
For example:

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Add a Handout to this Lesson", "", "", "", "", "", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Student Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

How can I generate multiple levels of the menu with javascript?

A: I suppose that your code is not valid
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

Try to write it in the following way:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);



Q: We have a query on a navigation that we have created. We would like to knowhowto set the colour for a nav item of the asp drop down menu if any pages in that section are currently being visited?

A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=2;</script>

...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: We are using Deluxe Menu for our website. When developing a new menu with longer text we are facing an issue.

JS Code for a menu item (Ajax technology):

[' Introduction &<br>Search Terms',
'/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,''
,'/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],

Code as above is used to create a the following menu:

We are using <br> as the menu text is too long but the problem we are facing is the space between two line of web menu text.

Can you please let me know how we can reduce the space?

A: You can write your text in the following way:

["<div style='line-height: 10px'> &nbsp;Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>",
"/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/","","","","" ,"" ,""
,"/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js",],

or

['<div style="line-height: 10px"> &nbsp;Introduction &<br>Search Terms</div>', '/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/','','' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'','/TeachingLaw/DeluxeMenu/AmySloan/Room1.js',],

Q: I make an example of html menu, but when i use it with frameset then the menu not show completly.

Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?


A: To initialize the cross frame menu you should call dm_initFrame() function
instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
