Q: If there was a way to show the links inside the html code instead of the dhtml menu js files. Shouldwe use an alternative mode as (css Style?)
A: You can move menuItems into html page directly inside <script> ...
</script> tags:
<script>
var menuItems [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
You can also use search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage before you call your dhtml menu js file.
You'll see text links in that case.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3)
Q: I am still struggling with multiple menus on one page.
It is probably something I am doing wrong, but I cannot see it.
A: Now you have:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="10";
So, both of your menus have the same absolute position.
You can use relative position and place your menu inside <table>. In this case you should write so:
var absolutePos=0;
Q: Would it work to put the javascript command in the dhtml context menu Link entry so that when a person clicks on the menu item, he navigates to the webpage specified in the onclick?
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var tmenuItems = [
["text", "javascript:window.location.href=myvalue"]
];
or
var tmenuitems = [
["Table of Contents
", ""]
];
Q: Do you have a menu that allows the sub-items to 'slide' out from the menu?
For example, you mouse-over the first button, and the sub menu slides from 'underneath' the button from left to right?
A: You should to use transitional effects.
Try to set
var transition=6;
var transOptions="";
var transDuration=350;
var transDuration2=200;
But notice that transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.
