Q: I use the apy menu inside a table cell and it has 6 sub menus. The table width is 600 so I would like to have each sub menu with width 100 and each item with the same width. I use menuWidth=100 and itemWidth=100 but it doesn't work, each menu has a different size depending on the label.
Also, each sub menu label can fit in less than 100 but I really want the width to be 100 so it looks consistant across the full menu.
What am I doing wrong ?
A: You should use individual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=100px"],
];
["DHTML
Menus","", "", "", , , "0", , , , , ],
...
["Apycom
products","", "", "", , , "0", , , , , ],
...
["Contacts","http://www.apycom.com/contact.html", "", "", , , "0", , , , , ],
See the attached example.
Q: The /js subdirectory of the Apycom Tree Menu trial package has no data file, i.e. the data file is missing.
A: This file can be renamed, for example, into tree-data.js.
This file contains Javascript code with menu parameters and items.
It has the following structure:
var param1 = value1;
var param2 = value2;
var param3 = value3;
...
var tmenuItems = [...];
Please, check that.
Use our examples to see how to install the menu.
Use DHTML Tuner application from the same .zip package to create andconfigure your menus.
Q: If I use windows tree menu and published on my web site it is default all javascript tree menu and submenu are opened. I want that all menu is default closed if user click on main menu it will be opened submenu. Please wich parameters I have to change.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var texpanded=0;
Check also that you don't have '+' sign before item's text in the top items, for example:
["+Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
...
["+Item1","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
Q: Do you have any working examples of a menu generated using .php from a MySQL database?
Our website is dynamic from a MySQL db and we already have categories and sub-categories. It would be useful if we could use this with our deluxe menu.
I don't know how to set this up, so any assistance would be appreciated.
A: 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) 2006, 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.)
];</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
