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: If I use the Search Engine Friendly Code feature, do I have to update or redo it each time I change the drop menu script and save, or if I do it once to the file will it automatically update on every save?

A: If you change drop menu script items (item's text and links) you should updateyour search engine friendly code. Deluxe Tuner doesn't update it onevery save (when you save your data file).

There is no need to update it when you change menu parameters only.



Q: Do you by chance have the dhtml menu samples working with XML?

A: Unfortunately we don't have working example.

You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu samples by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>

The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: Is there a way we can add javascript behaviors to the sliding dhtml menu actions?
For example, is there a way we can add an onClick function to a menu item
(eg,onClick="return MyFunction( )" ) so that we can catch and process key events?

A: Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick/onContextMenu event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:

  var menuitems = [
["
item text
", ""]
];

You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:

  var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];

Try that.


Q: I am trying to figure out how to specify the css for the top css dropdown menu.

I saw this in some of the example code, but there was nothing similar in Deluxe Tuner

  var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver" ],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

I tried adding the above to my js code, but it didn't work. I can get it to work in non-css through Deluxe Tuner.

I am trying to draw a white border around the blue css dropdown menu

.topMenu
{
background-color:Blue;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: White;
}

/* Style for submenus */
.submenu
{
}

/* Style for top items: normal state */
.topItemNormal
{
background-color:Blue;
color:White;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform:none;
font-weight:normal;
FONT-SIZE: 11pt;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial;
width:100%;
padding:2px 4px;
}

A:   var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

The following code is Individual Styles. You can edit them in DeluxeTuner.

Open your data file, click "Edit Individual Styles..." button on themain window. And create individual item style and individual submenustyle. Then you should assign these styles to your items.
