Q: In IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.4, the dropdown submenus are not visible and it does not float in firefox (floats in IE but no submenus) whereas in Opera 8.53 and Opera 9 it works fully.
A: Now you have two entries of dmenu.js file on your site in the <head> and <body> tags.
You must have only one entry of dmenu.js file.
You should write so:
...
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</body>
Please, delete the same code from the tag.
Now you have:
var transparency="0";
That is why you can't see your subitems.
Please, write, for example, so:
var transparency="80";
Q: In my previous email asking about your menu program's ability to display a different color word on a menu item when the site is on that selected page, I made a mistake - I was experimenting with Vista xp1 style, the black/blue shiny dhtml menu templates.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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'm testing the trial version and I'm having a little problem with the state saving. Everytime it navigates to another page, it does not save the state, even with
var tsaveState=1;
In fact, it actually opens up a different menu other than the one I originally clicked.
A: See, if you open pages (with menus) from different folder it means that you open different menus. So, when you change a state, for example, of the first menu within "newzap/" folder and then open another page with the menu within "newzap/learn/", browsers looks for another cookie file and can't find it and the second menu stays in a default state.
Try to set different
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
var tsavePrefix="menu2";
var tsavePrefix="menu3";
for different menus.
That should work.
Q: I came across your program through a link on the Internet. The menu script displayed was DHTML Menu Demo #23 displayed on
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html - this is the only menu I am interested in as it has the capability of positioning the menu script relative to an existing table in the HTML coding of the page. I already have a vertical scrolling menu with several features visitors. We are moving our website to our own server and are doing some updating to make it more attractive when viewed at different resolutions. If you look at the source coding for the page (yes, it's almost exclusively in HTML - it usually views well on any browser) you will see that ALL the content is enclosed in a table which is centered on the page allowing it to be completely viewed at any resolution of 800 x 600 or greater. But the scripting I'm using ( /* Created by Randy Bennet...) uses the left margin of the browser window as left margin of the page. If it could be written so that the left margin of the existing (and centered in the browser window) table would be the point from which the left corner of the "object1" was measured, then the page would view nicely at any resolution. But I cannot find out how to do this from your "newer version".
A: You can create the same menu using Deluxe Menu:
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-samples/menu2752.html
To install Deluxe Menu in the table cell with center alignment youshould use relative position for the menu:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
And install it on your page in the following way:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
