Q: I can not however find the option to move submenus closer together, I have too much ident for my taste.
How can I change that, by hand if that is the only way...
I mean this:
MENU1
+ SUBMENU1
I would like
MENU1
+ SUBMENU1
Is that possible?
A: If you don't want to have icons before item text you can write so:
//------- Icons -------
var ticonWidth = 0;
var ticonHeight = 0;
var ticonAlign = "left";
Your items will be closer to the "+" buttons.
Q: I must say, I'm glad I found your products! I am thoroughly impressed with your products! Once we get everything figured out and our menu set up, we'll be purchasing a license for our site.
However, I did have a question. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the individual menu styles to be applied to any of my java script menu items through the Deluxe Tuner. I've looked through through your documentation, but I cannot find anything that explains to me how I do this in the Deluxe Tuner. All I could find is this link:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html Which I don't quite fully understand, and by the looks of it, it doesn't appear to explain to me how I customize my individual menu item styles through the Deluxe Tuner.
Could you please either explain to me how to do this, or provide me a link that gives me directions on how to get this to work.
I look forward to doing business with you!
A: To create Individual styles click "Edit Individual Styles..." button.
1) In the "Individual Styles" window click "Add Style", enter the name
of the new style.
2) Edit java script menu parameters of your style
4) Click "OK" button.
5) Select items (you can use Ctrl and Shift buttons to select group ofitems) and assign "Item Style"/"Submenu Style" to it. (in the "Item Parameters" window)
Q: Is it possible to create expandable checkbox menu with you javascript dynamic tree menu?
(I want each tree menu element contain a check box and some text. )
A: No, unfortunately Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature now.
But you can paste any html code inside item text, for example:
["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'><option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3</select>","", "", "", "", "","", "0"],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go' style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "", ""],
["|<INPUT TYPE=checkbox CHECKED ID=chk1 onclick='choosebox1()'>Uncheck this check box for some free advice","","","",],
["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],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:
