Q: Hi there, hope someone could help me out.
We have recently purchased your menu product, and I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript slide menu, the root node that was selected. So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
I am not sure how else to phrase this question and hope this makes sense. You help will be appreciated.
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Slide 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=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: My submenu is not display at the good position with Firefox.
Look at my web site with Firefox. Select item menu 'Inscription' and you'll see the problem.
Note: mainmenu.js is relative positioning. The table tag is absolute positioning.
A: Try to write so:
<TABLE id=Table60style="Z-INDEX: 803; LEFT: 295px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 114px">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD style="POSITION: absolute;"><NOSCRIPT><A href="http://deluxe-menu.com/">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</A></NOSCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT>MainMenu</NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="deluxe_files/MainMenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
Q: What I would like to achieve is a separator in the main menu list of a vertical menu.
I can get the separator to show in submenus but not the main menu.
A: You should write so:
var separatorImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorWidth="90%";
var separatorHeight="3";
var separatorAlignment="center";
var separatorVImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorVWidth="90%";
var separatorVHeight="3";
var separatorPadding="0px";
Q: I am conisdering purchasing your menu generator product, however I have a question that is very important to me.
How can I add a separator to the dhtml menu examples using the dynamic functions? It seems as though the only way to get a separator into the menu is by defining it before hand, but the website I'm building will require me to reload the menus dinamically, and I'm losing the ability to put separators on it.
If there's a workaround for it, or if there's a chance that you can give me a prototype function that exposes that functionality, that would be acceptable as well.
A: You should add items using the following function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
or
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Find more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
Set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=1;
So, you should write:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 4, ["|-", "", "", "", "", "", "", ])
