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 can I vary the width of the individual items on the main bar for the javascript menu?

A: You can use Individual Styles to set the width for the menu items.Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.

You should write for example so:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];

Q: I’d like to know how to populate the navigation bar menu from a database?


A: Please, see the example of .php file.The content of .php file depends on your database structure.

<?php

// The example for PHP/MySQL.
// MySQL database has the table "menuTable" that contains data for menu items.
// The table has the following fields:
// 1. "text" - item text
// 2. "link" - item link
// 3. "icon1" - item icon (normal state)
// 4. "icon2" - item icon (mouseover state)
function getMenuItems()
{
$jsItems = '';

// Select all records from table "menuTable"
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;');

// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
{
$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
}

// Return Javascript code
return $jsItems;
}


?>

<script>
  var menuParam1 = value1;
  var menuParam2 = value2;
  var menuParam2 = value2;
...

  var menuItems = [

// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();

?>

];
</script>


Q: Hello, I’ve set my menus up so that they are positioned on my page within a container div (not using the positioning built into the menu script).

I am also trying to use the autoscroll feature as some of the submenus are quite long. The autoscroll doesn’t seem to work with the css positioning though.

I also tried to size the submenus to force them small and thus to scroll with no luck.

The scrolling works fine when I pull the menus out of the container div and just place them in the flow of the page.

Am I doing something wrong or are these two features incompatible with each other.


A: Unfortunately, it is really so. Submenu scrolling doesn't work with css. We'll try to fix it in the future versions.

You can try to use multicolomn submenus.

Q: How do I make the submenus sticky i.e. they will not close even when the mouse goes to somewhere else on the page?


A: I've checked your menu in all browsers. I can't see such problem.

You can try to adjust these parameters:

  var transDuration=200; // Delay of a transitional effect (in ms) on submenu's showing.

  var transDuration2=100; // Delay of a transitional effect (in ms) on submenu's hiding.
