Recent Questions

Q: I create a dhtml menu tabs on a website and I keep getting an error. On my dutch system it says: 'tabs[...].id' is leeg of geen object.

What am I doing wrong? I cannot find the problem.

On the first click on de tabs I get the error and nothing happens. From the second click on, everything works fine.

A: You can find an answer in Recent Questions section on our website.

Try to set the following parameter:

  var bselectedSmItem=0;

Use latest engine file also.



Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also 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.



Q: I now wish to dynamically change the drop down menu in html parameters. For this, I have set the following parameters:

// Dynamic Menu
  var dynamic=1;

1.Please send me the reference link for the dynamic menu commands available (for javascript).

2.Now AFTER initialization, dm_init();, I wish to change the default   var itemTarget="Sub_Main";

How do I do that??

A: You can find more info about API functions here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html

Unfortunately it is not possible to change drop down menu in html parameters (  var ...)after menu initialization.
So, there is no way to change
  var itemTarget="Sub_Main";

But you can change target for each item individually (targetparameter in menuItems) using dm_ext_changeItem function.

  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];



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"],
];
