Q: I am evaluating De Luxe menu. We perhaps like to become OEM distributor.
But I have a question.
In a website i would like to align 3 menu items to the left of the page and the other items to the right.
The 3 items to the left have a different style. But all have a fixed width.
I tried to define a spacer between the items but this didn't work out.
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/webos_net/dmenu/data.js"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Website","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=website",,,"","_top","0"],
["MyNorma","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=mynorma",,,"","_top","0"],
["BackOffice","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=portal",,,"","_top","1"],
[" ","/webos_net/default2.aspx",,,"spacer","","2"],
["Zoek","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Stamgegevens","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Repartitie","",,,"",'main','3'],
["Beheer","",,,"",'main','3'],
]
dm_init();
I also defined itemstyles:
var itemStyles = [
//hoofdmenu
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444"],
//hoofdmenu selected
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444","itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
//spacer
["itemWidth=100%"],
//default menu
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];
Can you provide a java menu samples which shows left and right alignment of menu items is possible?
A: Unfortunately it is not correctly to write
["itemWidth=100%"],
in Individual Styles. It won't work. You can set the exact width forthis space, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg,/images/topmenu1bg.jpg", "fontColor=#444444,#444444","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=50pt","itemBackImage=/images/topmenu1bg.jpg","fontColor=#444444,#444444", "itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderColor=#ff0000,#ff0000"],
["itemWidth=220px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "itemBorderStyle=none,","showByClick=0"],
["itemWidth=100pt"],
];
var menuStyles = [
];
var menuItems = [
["Website","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=website", "", "", "", "_top", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["MyNorma","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=mynorma", "", "", "", "_top", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["BackOffice","/webos_net/default2.aspx?site=portal", "", "", "", "_top", "1", "", "", "", "", ],
[" ","", "", "", "spacer", "", "2", "", "", "", "", ],
["Zoek","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Stamgegevens","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Repartitie","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
["Beheer","", "", "", "", "main", "3", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Q: I recently started using a new software program on my home page and am running into an issue with your drop down menu in css working with this software.
Basically no matter what I change the DmZorder to drop down menu in css always shows up behind the dhtml windows that I am trying to use.
After working with their support team they have stated that they believe the problem exists within the menus and I am attaching a screenshot they sent me.
Can you please assist me in resolving this issue?
A: Try to delete the following properties from #main style:
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; LEFT: 0px;
See the attached example.
Set also units in "px":
var itemPadding="2px";
It helps to display the drop down menu in css correctly in all browsers.
Q: What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab in the js tab menu,
so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=^lt;?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: There is the possibility in the menu that an item has access control, that is is visible or not depending of the user?
A: You can use Javascript API and write your own code.
See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
You can use
dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
to disable your items or
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
to hide your items.
