Q: It's simply not saving the state. Clicking the items on the menu is inconsistent. Sometimes it saves sometimes not.
It seems to be a lot worse in this area.
A: See, Tree Menu saves it's state using cookies.
But it can't re-save the same cookie file from different folders.
For example, if the tree from "website/page.html" saves it's state,the menu from "website/content2/page.html" can't read this state andit creates it's own state. The problem is that it's a standardfeature of browsers and Javascript can't control that.
Q: I was wondering if there is a way to disable links on a page for the script menu.I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and Idon't want the links to work.
A: To disable your menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
Q: Thank you for your quick service. Question for you, in the templates java expanding menu - Standard Tree Menu. There is an option to search by Index and also word query. When I bring the Template up I dont see this option on the sample menu. I'm I missing something or do I need to add it. If I need to add it can you explain to me how to do it.
A: You are able to paste any html code within java expanding menu items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='search
the web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S: http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
You should write your own code within tmenuItem.
Q: Do you support keyboard shortcuts (up/down through javascript for drop down menu)? I couldn't find an example of that.
Also, this one from OpenCube (exploding submenus) runs on Firefox too. No way to get that in yours?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't support transitional effect in Firefox. Thereis no way to do it in the current version of the menu. It is possiblethat we'll add this feature in the next versions.
Deluxe Menu has keyboard support. You can check it on our website
http://deluxe-menu.com/
Press Ctrl+F2 to enter/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate
Esc - exit the menu
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
