Recent Questions

Q: My site requires me to regularly update the drop down menu by inserting a new item at the top of the list.


A: Add items using the following function:

function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)

Adds the new item to a submenu.

menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.

iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters.
This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array.
You can assign parameters of another existent item of the menu
(for example, when you want to create a duplicate of the existent item) or create new ones.

Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item.

Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.

I have two problems I am trying to address.

1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.

2) Load time.

Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.

1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.

2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.

Neither one of my commands appear to work.

This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.

A: 1) Now you have:

  var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];

You should set your arrows in the following way:

  var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];

2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

http://deluxe-menu.com/ajax-technology-menu-sample.html

You can also try the following things:

move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:

<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>

...

<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>

It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.



Q: How do I go about using the menu javascripts feature and javascript popup on the same HTML page? I'm getting a Java Error.

A: 1) Notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once on yourhtml page.

2) When you have several menus on the same page they have different menuInd (0,1,2,3...)
For example you have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"></script> //popup menu menuInd=1

You should call your popup in the following way:

<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);">

or

<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"> </script> //popup menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=1

You should call your popup in the following way:

<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">


Q: Is there any way to change the font size of the secondary and tertiary links but yet have a different font size for the primary links?


A: You can use different font style for each link on each level.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
Please, use Dhtml Tuner application to create individual styles.

For example:

// --- DHTML Tuner style names ---
  var tstylesNames=["Individual Style 1","Individual Style 2","Individual Style 3","Individual Style 4","New Individual Style",];
  var tXPStylesNames=["Individual Style 1",];

  var tstyles = [
["tfontStyle=bold 8pt Tahoma","titemBackColor=#265BCC,#265BCC","tfontColor=#FFFFFF,#428EFF","tfontDecoration=none,none"],
//style 0 ["tfontStyle=bold 8pt Tahoma","titemBackColor=#265BCC,#265BCC","tfontColor=#215DC6,#428EFF","tfontDecoration=none,none"],
//style 1 ["tfontDecoration=none,none"],
//style 2
["tfontStyle=normal 8pt Tahoma","tfontColor=#013D6D,#5555FF"],
//style 3
["tfontStyle=bold 11px Bookman Old Style","tfontColor=#000000,#000000","tfontDecoration=none,underline"],
//style 4
];

  var tmenuItems = [

["+DHTML Menus","", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
//style 0
 ["|DHTML Menu","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "Information", "_self", , , , , ],
 ["|+DHTML Tree Menu","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "Support", "_self", "2", , , , ],
//style 2
   ["||2 styles: standard & XP","", , , , , , "3", , , , ],
