Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Setup menu parameters manually or using De Luxe Tuner. Then add some rows of a code within html page code and your menu is ready!
  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.
  • Ability to handle the menu from the keyboard via keystrokes.

Recent Questions

Q: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?

A: You can do it in three ways now.

1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:

function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)

See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html

2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.

3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.

You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];


The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: We purchased the Deluxe Menu a few months ago and are extremely happy with the product. We have been getting great compliments about our new navigation system.

The menu has over 500 links and functions like a dream! One issue I am having, that I just cannot seem to figure out how to fix, is the following:

Our nav menu is displayed approx. 70 pixels from the top of the browser window. On the drop down links that have a number of items (example 1 in the image below), they display underneath the menu, however on the links that have only a few items, they display above the menu bar in java script as in example 2 in the image below.

How can I set it so that no matter how many drop-down items there are, they always display under the menu bar in java script, not on top?

A: Try to set the following parameter:

  var subMenuVAlign="top";



Q: Please check my site and tell me why website drop down menu show no content with IE7 (XP or Vista.)
It works with all other major browsers and OS's.

A: Delete "height: 0%;" parameter from the style of the content DIV:

<div id="content1" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; display: none;" class="tabPage">

So you'll have:

<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; display: none;" class="tabPage">



Q: Typically in order to generate a menu with multiple layers I’d put a pipe character in front of the menu text..  For example:

 ["|Page Admin","/admin/handoutadmin.php", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Student Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=1", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Teacher Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=2", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Family Letters","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=4", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Transparencies","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=3", , , , "_new", , , , ],

  However, when I try to do it with dm_ext_addItem it actually SHOWS the pipe character and doesn’t create any menu levels at all. 
For example:

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Add a Handout to this Lesson", "", "", "", "", "", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Student Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

How can I generate multiple levels of the menu with javascript?

A: I suppose that your code is not valid
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

Try to write it in the following way:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
