2.0 Buttons by Web-Buttons.com v3.0.0

Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: I have built a new website to replace a dated version and the menu work fine everywhere, except I just found out the site needs to be accessed from a remote sever and the Client cannot enable scripting as it would compromise their security settings.


A: When your security settings doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

Please, try to use search engine friendly code you'll see all yourlinks.

You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
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.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).


Q: It seems that if I try and use the syntax  ["| with some HTML such as <DIV class = 'myclass'> inside dropdown menu it IGNORES the HTML and just treats it like another link.
But if I don't start the line with  ["| ..... Then I get a syntax error.

For example:

I am trying to place 4 links in a square shape in the top left of my screen. To do this I was going to create DIV's and set the TOP and LEFT to different values from within a loop (I left out the code that does the updating for myleft and mytop...)

  var menuItems = [

<loop>

 ["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "", "", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

<end loop>

];

What am I doing wrong here?.... Can you show me how to accomplish this task?

A: No, this syntax is incorrect. It won't work.

  var menuItems = [

<loop>

 ["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],<end loop>

];

You should have <div> ... </div> tags in each dropdown menu item!
It is not correctly to write <div> ... </div> tags for wholesubmenu.

  var menuItems = [
 ["|<div style='position: absolute; left:<cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>text</div>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],

 ["| ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
];



Q: Using data-visa-5.js

Trying to get the menu to start collapsed rather than fully expanded.

Thought it was the   var texpanded=0 setting but doesn't seem to have any effect.

A: See, when you set + sign before item's text that is mean that thisitem will be expanded.
Now you have:

["+   Home","index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["+   Current Weather","","","","Current Weather","","","1",""],
 ["|Hourly Forecast","index.php?forecast=avnmos&zipcode=55744&oc=mosview_option|forecast","","","Hourly Forecast",,,],
 ["|Warnings/Advisories","index.php?forecast=warnings&zipcode=55744","","","Warnings/Advisories",,,],
 ["|Special Weather Alerts","index.php?config=&forecast=special&zipcode=55744","","","Special Weather Alerts",,,],
 ["|Live Weather","javascript:open('../../wxflash/index.htm','_blank')","","","Live Weather",,,],
["+   WeatherForum","/forum/index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["+   Weather Cams","","","","Weather Cams","","","1",""],
 ["|RapidsCam East","javascript:open_win('../../webcam/eastcam.asp',335,270,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,'cameast');","","","RapidsCam East",,,],
 ["|RapidsCam West","javascript:open_win('../../webcam/westcam.asp',367,270,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,'camwest');","","","RapidsCam West",,,],
["+   Weather Maps","","","","Weather Maps","","","1",""],

Delete + signs from your items:

["   Home","index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["   Current Weather","","","","Current Weather","","","1",""],
 ["|Hourly Forecast","index.php?forecast=avnmos&zipcode=55744&oc=mosview_option|forecast","","","Hourly Forecast",,,],
 ["|Warnings/Advisories","index.php?forecast=warnings&zipcode=55744","","","Warnings/Advisories",,,],

 ["|Live Weather","javascript:open('../../wxflash/index.htm','_blank')","","","Live Weather",,,],
["   WeatherForum","/forum/index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["   Weather Cams","","","","Weather Cams","","","1",""],
 ["|RapidsCam East","javascript:open_win('../../webcam/eastcam.asp',335,270,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,'cameast');","","","RapidsCam East",,,],
 ["|RapidsCam West","javascript:open_win('../../webcam/westcam.asp',367,270,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,'camwest');","","","RapidsCam West",,,],

Q: Thanks for swift reply, however:
Tried the dmenu.js (only one we use) at our trial site and get the error :
Line 13
Invalid argument

- as you know this js file is obfuscated to one line, so using a debugger does not apply.

A: See the attached example. I've upgraded your javascript layer menu to Deluxe Menu v3.0.
use data file and engine files from the attachment.

You had several errors in the structure of menuItems.
