Q: We currentlly have a menu that uses standard html hyperlinks to open a new window with _blank as the target. Unfortunately, the size of the window is controlled by the browser and we want to be able to control it. The only way that we know how to do that is to use the window.open client-side function and pass the window's dimensions. Here is a sample of the code that would do that:
window.open("url","_blank","height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
How can we add the javascript code to the dhtml menu vertical instead of a link? Do you have any samples?
A: You can use javascript code within menuItems, for example
Write:
["Test Window","javascript:window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank','height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');", , ,'Monitor Exceptions' , , '0', '0',,],
Q: I'm using your menu for my customers.
IHtml menu script works really great but since your last updates I'm really missing the parameter smviewtype=3, so I can have a subnavigation going other direction as usual.
Since you had this feature build in I choosed your menu and did a lot of programming, to get it integrated into contenido cms system.
I would be very pleased, if you could help me on this point.
A: You should set the way you show submenus using subMenuAlign and subMenuVAlign parameters.See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.htmlQ: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: I have set up a menu that uses one 'data.js' file.
However, on ONE page, the menu needs to have three additional items, with a different style.
Is there a way to add the three items with a different style via javascript on that one page?
I think I know how to handle the styles, but I'm unsure how to add the three new items without using two differerent 'data.js' files- which is how I have it set up for the time being. You may want to visit the site to see what I mean.
A: You can use dm_ext_addItem() function to add items.
Please, see how you should write this function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
< SCRIPT src="Welcome to Catawba Animal Clinic, P_A_files/data.js" type=text/javascript> </SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Request Form","request.htm", , , , "_self", "0", "-1", , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Policies","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Express Checkout Info","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
You should upload dmenu_dyn.js file on your server.
In your data.js file you should add need Individual Item Styles.
