Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Submenus drop down over all the objects of the page (select, flash, object, embed, applet). If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object, the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
  • These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.
  • Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!

Recent Questions

Q: I try to use the javascript menu popups to show an image; then when the mouse is over the image I dynamically generate a panel of http links. It works perfectly, but the problem is that I would like to do the same with several images (for instance 2) and different links : I'm not able to do that, whether I change the value of menuItems   var or not, I display the same link values on both images (it seems menuItems is a global   var and can be set only once).

Have you heard about this problem and could you give me a solution (this is a bit urgent, I have sold this solution to my customers) ?

A: See how you should call dm_popup() functions:
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 0 - is ID of the first menu
....

<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
... and so on.


Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.
However, I can only choose one item in each menu.
Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single drop down css menu and have all of
selected items show white?
If so, what option do I need to enable for the menu?


A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.

Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item and
using this function assign it for the items you want to highlight

dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "Deluxe Menu Hint",,"1"]);



Q: What is the difference between itemStyles and menuStyles for the down javascript menu?

A: See you should assign the menuStyles to the whole submenu (the first item in the submenu).
itemStyles you should assign for each item individually.

Q: I’m setting an after item image as follows (this code was generated by Deluxe Tuner, not by hand/text editor):

  var afterItemImage=["designimgs/btn-ico.gif","designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif"];

  var afterItemImageW=8;

  var afterItemImageH=7;

As you can see, the after item image is not appearing in my access drop down menu – do you have any idea why that would be/how to fix?

A: You should create Individual style and assign it for the top access drop down menu items:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "beforeItemImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "afterItemImage=designimgs/btn-ico.gif,designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif", "beforeItemImageW=1","afterItemImageW=8", "beforeItemImageH=1","afterItemImageH=7","itemBorderWidth=0"],
