Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to leave a main navigation item highlighted when in that section. For example if I clicked on "Contact Us" and when I am on the contact us page, the "Contact us" navigation would still be highlighted. I appreciate any help you might have, thanks!
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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 appreciate your assistance with this problem. I am 98% of the way happy with this product. When I made the changes you suggested, the copyright error went away, however the site no longer validates. It does not like the <noscript> tags. Is there a fix for this?
A: Matt, you can move your <noscript> tag into the <body> tag.
Try that.
Q: Can I have the pop-out items in the dhtml menu bar go left instead of right. Going right they run off the page.
A: You should use the following parameter (Deluxe Tuner->Positioning):
var subMenuAlign="left";
Q: Thank you. I got the menu working on my web page.
Now, I have to pass dynamic value from the link when the user click the floating javascript menu.
I was using a table type of menu and passing value like this
<td onclick="document.iframename.location.href='abc.jsp?value1=<%value1%>&value2=<%value2%>Click here</td>
What should I do to the deluxe-menu to get the same action?
I need to pass value to next page. The value is dynamic, so I have to use <%value1%> notation for JSP file.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
