Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: I am currently using your free trial version to see if it will work with an application I am working on. I am having a problem with using it in cross-frames mode when the frame that the sub menu appears in has a vertical scrollbar. Basically I have a header frame and a large content frame below it. The menu itself is appearing in the header frame and the sub menus are dropping down and appearing in the lower frame. There is a vertical scrollbar in the lower (content) frame and when I scroll down, the sub menus get scrolled off the screen. This is because they are being rendered at the very top of the content frame and disappear when the top of the frame is no longer visible due to scrolling. Setting the floatable = 1 attribute does not work because the menu itself is not being scrolled off the screen, just the sub-menu drop down is being scrolled off. Is there anything I can do to make this work with my framed application? Thank you for your time.
A: Unfortunately submenus won't float in cross-frame mode. Deluxe Menudoesn't have such feature now.
Q: Are these cool html scripts compatible with .NET?
A: Yes, Deluxe Menu works in .NET.
Deluxe Menu is a Javascript product. It means that it works on aclient side and it doesn't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.
So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Q: That is what I need:
a) I build a menu with an item like this:
["||"Product1","http://127.0.0.1/product1.htm","","","",,"0",],
b) when I select that item, I need that page product1.htm loads into an iFrame.
Can I do this?
A: You should set the Iframe name as the target value in the menuItems.
You should also set the following parameter:
var itemTarget = "";
