Jul 25, 2008 - I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a javascript menu example..
Q: So, I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a menu w javascript, just for interest.
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to rebuild the menu without reloading of the page now. We'll add this feature in the next version of the menu.
Can you say anything about date for that funcion?
May-be the function is ready in an un-officiel version?
I have buy this product-collect, and is in touch to implement dynamic 'ajax' menu with php, And the function to reload menu will be very pretty
A: It is not possible to rebuild/reload the menu at once,but you can use our API function to change any menu itemsw/0 page reloading, please see

Q: I can't seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual javascript pulldown menu items. I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
Q: I will build menu for several books’ Contents, each book is more than 100 lines and has links. I think if all the books’ contents in 1 *.JS file then it is TOO LOONG!!.
Can I break it down to 1 book for 1*.JS ? How?
A: You cannot divide your menuItems parameter.
You can only use one .js file for your menu parameters and the other.js file for your menuItems = [...];
But you can do it in two ways.
1) You can try to use several menus on the one page, for example:
param.js // file with menu parameters (all parameters before menuItems = [...];)
menu1.js // menuItems for "AC-DC", "ANLOG"
menu2.js // menuItems for "DIGITAL", "WinXP"
menu3.js // menuItems for "MS-Word", "MS-Excel"
In these menu files you should write
menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
Then you should install your menu in the following way
<script type="text/javascript" src="param.js"></script>
<table>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu3.js"></script>
But it will be easier to use vertical menu in such case
var isHorizontal=0;
var smColumns=1;
2) You can also try to add some code, see the attached example.
In the first file (@MY books (Multiple Col.js) I write menuItems for the first item "AC-DC".
Notice that you should delete comma at the end of the last item
var menuItems = [
["AC-DC","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","testlink.htm", , , , , , , , ],
...
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH02","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH01","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
];
In the second file (@MY books (1.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["ANLOG","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book2","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
In the third file (@MY books (2.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["DIGITAL","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1332","", , , , , , , , ],
["WinXP","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1333","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Word","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1334","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Excel","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1335","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
dm_init();
Notice that you should write dm_init(); function in the last file.
In the .html file you should write
...
<tr>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (Multiple Col.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (2.js"></script>
</tr>
I hope you understand me.
Q: I am trying to use the Drop Down Menu in a perl script. I would like to know if this is possible?
A: You can use javascript menu in a perl script. Please, see the examplebelow.

use CGI; # CGI library
use DBI; # Database library
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print '<head>

<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>Javascript Menu byDeluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> var dmWorkPath ="menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>

print '</table>';
exit;
