Recent Questions

Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".

How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.

Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.

Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.

If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.

You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.


Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.

However, I can only choose one item in each menu.

Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single ajax drop down menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the ajax drop down menu?

Programmatically, I think it would be similar to something to:

dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,1);
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1,1,2);

A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.

Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)

You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item andusing this function assign it for the items you want to highlight

dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "ajax drop down menu hint",,"1"]);



Q: The menu is very large and I am concerned about load speed.

Does the ajax like technology just load the top tabs and then only the sub menus if they are clicked? I have clicked true and added 5 as there are 5 submenus but it does not seem to make any difference.

What can I do to speed up the javascript onclick menu?

A: Check that you've set the following parameter:

  var dm_writeAll=0;


Q: I am using JavaScript Deluxe Menu v3.1 and have some problem with the doctype declaration. If I use the declaration:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

the menuBackImage and itemBackImage images do not display properly. Check with and without doctype declaration. Is there a known fix for this?

A: You should specify units in "px" for the javascript menu object.

  var itemPadding="15px 10px 0px 20px";
  var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2","itemPadding=25px 10px 10px 10px"],
["itemPadding=25px 10px 10px 20px"],
["menuBackImage=img/nahbp_1.gif","itemPadding=25px 10px 10px 20px"],
