- Visible over select boxes, iframes, pdf, flash, Java applets. - Filters and Transitional effects - Status string shows item labels - AJAX menu loading - loads web menu data from the server "on-the-fly". - Hundreds of pre-designed templates - Search feature - add the search area in the menu and type symbols. - Text aligned to left - UL/LI items structure
Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.
Q: I downloaded the trial version of deluxe-menu. I created a four tab menu using the tab'stab menu generator; so far so good. I read the tutorial where to past codeand ensuring all items wire in the menudir/; so far so good. The problem, you talk about two> files 'dmenu.js' & 'data.js', these files were not created bydeluxe-menu program. Where are they, so that I can see if this thing works before buying, so far; not so good.
A:You may have another name for your data file (not data.js).
If you want to use tab menu you'll have dtabs.js engine file and data file.
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function). You can enter any name you like, for example enter "tab". So you'llhave tab.html, tab.js files and "tab.files" folder with all menu files. 2. open your .html page in any text editor 3. Copy generated tab.js file and "tab.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page. 4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:http://deluxe-tabs.com/product-info/?installation
<head> <!-- Deluxe Menu --> <noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript> <script type="text/javascript" src="tab.files/dmenu.js"></script> </head> <body> ... <script type="text/javascript" src="tab.js"></script> ...
That's all.
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 drop down css menu and have all of selected items show white? If so, what option do I need to enable for the menu?
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 and using this function assign it for the items you want to highlight
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "Deluxe Menu Hint",,"1"]);
Q:
Buttons are working great! Client would now like to have the rollover image stay active on the page they are on. They would like the button to stay white when you navigate to a particular page, i.e. If you click on "Press", when you get to that page, the button stays white, while all the others react in the normal manner. Is this possible?? I have seen it on other sites and it seems like it should be possible. Please let me know. I believe it could be done by creating a separate menu for each page, but that seems like a lot of work. I am sure you have a solution.
A: The 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 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> ...
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:
When a user clicks on a javascript flyout menu item, I want to run a javascript function.
How can I do this in the data file?
A: You can use your own Javascript code instead standard javascript flyout menu links. For example:
var menuItems = [ ["text", "javascript:your_code_here"] ];
