Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?

When I put   var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.

A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:

  var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];

  var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ], // 0 style

Q: What I want to do is use your XP Tabs Template.
It appears fine in the Preview Pane but when I load it on my web page the sub-items are all listed on the same line as the tabs.

A: If you want to create subtabs in your menu you should use Tab Mode
  var tabMode=1;
and write your bmenuItems in the following way:

  var bmenuItems = [

["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|SItem 226","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|SXP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
but in that case you can't assign the ID of the DIV to show when youclick on the tab. You can set the links only.



Q: Can you please write me, can I have the active menu button in the javascript menu generator different color display.

A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<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=3;</script>

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

You can also 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: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.

I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:

Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:

<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>

For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>

No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?

A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:

  var absolutePos=0;
  var posX="0px";
  var posY="0px";
