  • 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.

Q: Thanks for your information, and the program is very useful and user friendly compare with others.

But I have a question, pls see the following example.

inside the menu.js (the file which we will run as navigation bar)

  var menuItems = [

["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif", "menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

when setup running the php file directly is no problem

however, as we have some links will have different values as the end (have problem running at the menu)
such as blog.php?ownid=4497
there is having a dynamic value at the end

at our php files we use
<a href="blog.php?blogger=&lt;?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?&gt;">

Any suggestion for this case? or you can give us some example?

A: The following link should work fine in Deluxe Menu:

["Item 1","blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

You can also try to move menuItems and dm_init(); function to your page inside <script>tag:

<script>
  var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif","menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif","menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

dm_init();
</script>


Q: This is great on last quesion how can I make the items on the top menu with java different colors? I looked at this example and cannot figure it out

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/multiple-styles-1-template-sample.html

A: You should create Individual Item Styles and assign them to your topitems:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#CE9DE1,#B978D1",],
["itemBackColor=#84DA7A,#48D641",],
["itemBackColor=#5EA6E1,#507ECB",],
["itemBackColor=#54CDCA,#32ABA8"],
];

["Home","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["Menu Samples","", , , , , "1", , , ],
["Purchase","", , , , "_blank", "2", , , ],
["Contacts","", , , , , "3", , , ],



Q: I am evaluating your Deluxe Tuner / Tab program and was wondering how to add content below the tabs, like you have on your site.

You have the tabs, then a content area below each tab. How is this done with your product.


A: You should use ID attribute of object to show in the second parameterof bmenuItems. You set it in the "Item Parameters" window ("Link"parameter).

You should also set:
  var tabMode = 0;

So, you'll have, for example, the following bmenuItems:
["tab text","div1", ...],
["tab text","div2", ...], Here "div1" and "div2" is IDs of objects within your html page, for example:
<div id="div1">text 1</div>
<div id="div2">text 2</div>

You can also see examples, which you can find in the trial package.


Q: Im working on a menu with your program, and am unable to make the javascript sticky menu save the hover states after you move off the navigation item and onto its child nav items.

For example

Example Nav item 1
-Example Sub Nav item 1
-Example Sub Nav item 2
-Example Sub Nav item 3

When I hover on the Example Nav Item 1, the hover state works, but when I move my mouse down (Im using a horizontal javascript sticky menu) to select Example Sub Nav item 1, I want the hover state to stay selected on the "parent" Nav Item. Is this possible? What is the variable you have to change to accomplish this?

A: Yes, it's possible, please use

  var saveNavigationPath = 1; The javascript sticky menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
