Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
  • When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
  • Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.

Q: I pushed the js files you attached and it fixed my Trial error message but now my left menus APPLMENU.JS and APPL2MENU.JS won't mouse over and won't open the submenus and it gives a javascript error.


A: Now you have several errors in you data files appl2menu.js andapplmenu.js.

Now you have
  var menuBackColor="cccccc";
  var menuBorderWidth="";
  var itemBorderWidth="";

This is not right.
Try to write them:
  var menuBackColor="#CCCCCC";
  var menuBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty
  var itemBorderWidth="0"; //this parameter cannot be empty


Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so
that a menu selection stays 'on' for the navigation bar script?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color
that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.

A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: I would prefer to have a sort of documentation or tutorial video but asI have seen on you website there is not. I have also to mix the javascriptcode with php.

Could you please help me, software look fine but we don't have time totest the code, tutorial will be appricieted.


A: Unfortunately, we don't have tutorial yet, we'll try to create it inthe nearest future.

To create the pop up menu you should to do the following steps:

1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.

Please, try to download trial package once again. We added alltemplates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.
After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.
You should set the following parameter
  var pathPrefix_img="";

2. You should add the following parameter for the pop up menu:
  var popupMode=1;

You should do it manually. Please, open your data file in any texteditor and add such parameter.

3. You should install the menu on your page.
Add several rows into your html page.

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>

<body>
...
<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
...
</body>

Where return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place. In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.

You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.

Try that.


Q: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following

Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm

When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.


A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:

  var tmenuBackImage="";
  var titemBackImage=["",""];

changed to:

  var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";

  var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];

Try to specify units in "px".
  var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

You should set this parameter:
  var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
   ["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],    ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Blade","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/blade.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Eureka","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/eureka.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||I Pity the Fool","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/ipitythefool.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

You cannot use local paths on your website.
Please, correct it. <
br>You should write for example:    ["||24","site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
   ["||Battlestar Galactica","site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],

Try to use also the attached engine .js files on your server.
