Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

Q: I am now ready to re-create my menu. It says to edit my data file. When I try to do that it will NOT open. It says my computer does not have the right program? What do I need?

Also, once I have created the menu in Deluxe tuner, where should I save it? In the folder where my website pages are saved? Again, I am using Yahoo sitebuilder, so I am not exactly sure where I should save it in these folders?

Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and reloaded it, It would ask me if I wanted to copy all my files? What is that and what is the purpose?

I really like the deluxe tuner and I really want to be able to utilize this to create a menu, however, if I can't figure out how to get it onto my website, I am going to be out of luck

You should open your data file with the menu in any text editor andadd your reg. key.
Try that.

If you click yes, Deluxe Tuner save also all engine .js files and allyour images into "data.files/" folder.

You can also click Export->To HTML.
So you'll have html page with your menu and folder with engine .jsfiles and images.

So you should to do the following things:
1. open your page in Yahoo's SiteBuilder
2. open generated with Deluxe Tuner html source code of the page in anytext editor
3. copy such lines from html source code


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


and add them in you <head> tag.

Then find such line, for example:

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

and add it in you <body> tag in the place where you want to have themenu. For example, you can paste it in <table> or <div> tag:

<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>

or
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</div>

For info see:

You should also copy "data.files/" folder in the right place. In thefolder where you have you index.html page, created in Yahoo'sSiteBuilder.


Q: I am having some difficulty dynamically adding items to a tree javascript and menu.

I have a menu with one "root" item. I see the use of the "+" symbol within the item name. I do not see any documentation regarding this symbol, only "|". Can you explain?

If I have one menu with this one "root" node, how would I add an subitem to this root node?

Here is my code so far, but the inserted items appear to be at the same level as the root node.

  var rootItem = dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex ( 0,0 );

  var menuItem = new Array(10);
for (   var i = 0; i < producers.length; i++ )
{
  var producer = producers[ i ];
menuItem[0] = producer.name;

dtreet_ext_insertItem ( 0, 0, i + 1, menuItem );

A: See dtreet_ext_insertItem () function has the following parameters:

function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)

Creates a new item and inserts it into a specified position.
menuInd - index of a javascript and menu on a page, >= 0.
parentItemID - ID property of an item.<, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a new item within the javascript and menu, >= 0.
itemParams - item parameters.

Notice that parentItemID is the Id property of the parent item (notindex). If you want to add top items you should set parentItemID=0.

itemInd - you should use this parameter if you want to add item in thespecific place, for example set itemInd=5 if you want to add itembefore the existing item with itemInd=5.
If you set itemInd=null the new item will be added at the end of this submenu and its index will be added automatically.
