Recent Questions

Q: Can you please give me an example of how I would return the full path to the selected item of the web site menu?

A: See the following example:

function getFullPath(mInd){
  var result='';

// get pressed item
  var params = dm_ext_getMenuParams(mInd);
if (!(params[2]>=0)) return '';

function getPathForItem(mInd,smInd,itInd){
// get for this item
  var params = dm_ext_getItemParams(mInd,smInd,itInd);
  var result = params[2]+ '('+ params[3]+')';

// find root item id
if (smInd <= 0) return result;
params = dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(mInd,smInd);

for (  var smInd_=0;smInd_ for (  var itInd_=0;itInd_ itParam = dm_ext_getItemParams(mInd,smInd_,itInd_);
if (itParam[0]=arams[2])// id
return result + '->' + getPathForItem(mInd,smInd_,itInd_);
}
}
return result;
};

return getPathForItem(mInd,params[1],params[2]);
}


Q: I just need to know if there is a way of establishing the width at "runtime" in the javascript dynamic menu so that my frame in my frameset can be widened accordingly.

A: There are no special parameters for menu dimensions.
But you can use submenu IDs. For example, top-menu has ID"dmXXXm0"

Where XXX - menu index. So, first menu on the page has ID "dm0m0".
So, you can determine menu dimensions so:

document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetWidth
document.getElementById('dm0m0').offsetHeight

You can also use Javascript API functions to take submenu IDs.



Q: The nav is currently to the left of a flash animated area.
And when a link in the dropdown menu is hovered upon the box opens
but the flash turns white below the nav box.

A: You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.

See, how you should install flash on your pages.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
height="150" width="800">
<param name="movie" value="2008 flash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="flash_files/2008%2520flash.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="150" width="800">
</object>

Submenus will overlap flash correctly in that case.



Q: Just purchased the license for deluxe-menu.

The javascript submenu do not go over top of my other elements like the FAQ says it should.

A: Now you have the following style Z-INDEX: 2000; for .titleTopCenterDIV.

The menu has lower index in that case.

Try to set it to
Z-INDEX: 10;
