Q: Can I use just one data.js in one folder that all the pages with a dhtml popup menu point to?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script
(php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure.
And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional
parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.htmlQ: It all works great under IE, but when you view it in Firefox the fly-out menus (off of Products, Services & About Us) do not appear over the Flash animation to the right in IE.
It works fine under Firefox on all other pages apart form Home, because Home is the only page with containing the Flash animation.
Could you please have a look and let us know if this is a known issue (we're using the latest 8 dmenu .js file, time-stamped 11 April 2006).
Thanks in anticipation.
A: Please, try to set this parameter:
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
Q: I'm trying the deluxe menu and I'm positively impressed.
But now I'm trying to simply use javascript to add some properties to my menu.
I modified the dynamic to 1
and I get only one error in the javascript monitor telling me:
Error: dm has no properties

A: Please, see how you should write this function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Hello", "testlink.htm", "", "", "Hello", "_blank", "-1"]);
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0. (you have written menuInd=1, but if you have one menu on your page you should write 0).
You also have written itemStyleInd=1, but you have only one style in your menu. So you should write "0" or "-1".
Q: Is there any way to keep a menu lit up when going to another page? Or do the menus always have to default back to their normal state?
I want the menu to know what page the user is on and keep that section highlighted. Any ideas?
A: You should 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.
