Q: I am sure this is a pretty minor thing…When one of my dhtml menu dropdown items is a link to a url, is there a setting to change the cursor to a hand versus the normal arrow? Basically, I want the links of the dhtml menu dropdown items to look like most other links on any webpage.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
Q: Is there a way to programmatical select an item in the scrolling menu without the user actual click on the item?
A: You can 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: Is there maybe a way that I can set up the menu so that it does not load at all until someone clicks on, say, a link, such as 'Products' and clicking on that link would then load the java menu buttons onto the page in the desired position?
A: Yes, you can do it.
Delete dm_init(); function from data file and use OnClick event foryour 'Products' link.
<a href="products.html" OnClick="dm_init();">Products</a>
Q: Are vertical menus also supported, because I don't see any in the javascript menu examples?
A: Yes, you can create vertical menu with Deluxe Menu.
You should set this parameter:
var isHorizontal=0;
See one of the javascript menu examples here:
