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: Is your dropdown menu creator fully usable in Frontpage 2003
running on Vista and another PC running 2000?
I am looking for a tool that will assist me in building simple
but nice drop-down menu's I can add into Frontpage..hopefully via html scripting or another way...

A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

1. It is really so at the moment.
2. We can transfer your license to another site.
3. Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu into your html page:

1) open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2) open html source code of the page
3) add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

That's all.

To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application (included into the trial package):

Q: I know. I have two menus on the page and I am not using beforeItemImage orafterItemImage for the top menu in javascript (the one you referenced below), but I need it for the second menu. The parameters for that menu are in mainnav_data.js.

Even when I only call dmWorkPath and dmenu.js once, it does not work.

A: See, it is not correctly to use image-based items:

["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "0", "", "", "", "", ],

and specify beforeItemImage/afterItemImage parameters. They won't work in that case.

You can create such buttons in the following ways:
1) Use image-based menu (images with text).

Create normal and mouse-over state images (with text) for each item:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/new.gif", "mainnav_data.files/new2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx.gif", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],


2) Use combined background for the menu in javascript items (images without text).

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';

But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif

You cannot use these two methods together!

Q: The contact page drop down menu examples would not work with the Firefox browser. And the submenu would show a white bg in the Internet Explorer browser.

A: Your color parameters are incorrect:

  var itemBackColor=["91C24D","8B3A96"];
  var itemBorderColor=["ffffff","ffffff"];

You should write them in the following way:
  var itemBackColor=["#91C24D","#8B3A96"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#ffffff","#ffffff"];



Q: Can I use my own images as the tabs in a div tab menu?

A: The Drop down menu items have the following structure:
  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];

Where iconNormal, iconOver - Icons of an item: icon in normal state, icon in mouseover state.

So you can set your menu items in a such way:

  var menuItems = [
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
["","", "icon2.gif", "icon2o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon3.gif", "icon3o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon4.gif", "icon4o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon5.gif", "icon5o.gif"],
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
];
