Q: Thnx, it works now, just one more question :-)
I use frames on my website, the target frame name is main.
But when i put main as target in the simple javascript drop down menu, it loads as a new windows, do you know what i'm doing wrong?
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I have not seen anything that can help me in the question list and would like to ask how to have a mouseover drop down menu closed by default. I know that by preceding it with a '+' has it open and had assumed that removing it would close it, but it does not seem to do this.
Where in the scripts do I need to change this value and will this be updated in the future?
A: You should delete "+" signs in the top items and set the followingparameter:
var texpanded=0;
Q: Hi there, hope someone could help me out.
We have recently purchased your menu product, and I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript slide menu, the root node that was selected. So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
I am not sure how else to phrase this question and hope this makes sense. You help will be appreciated.
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe 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 Slide 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>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></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: I am evaluating your product and would like to display my top menu without a border, but have the dropdown (child menus) all have a border and shadow.
If I change the menuBorderWidth to anything but 0, I get a menu on both the top menus and dropdowns. I need a topBorderWidth and a childBorderWidth.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
A: Yes, you can do it.
Please, set:
var menuBorderWidth=0;
To set border for submenus you should use Individual Submenu styles, for example:
var menuStyles = [
     ["menuBorderWidth=1","menuBorderColor=#9A9CA7"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
     ["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , , , ],
     ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
         ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ], //style 0
     ["Samples","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
         ["|Sample 1","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , , "0", , ], //style 0
         ["|Sample 2 is Disabled","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , "_", , "-1", , ],
...
You should assign style for the first item in the submenu.
