Q: I don't know anything about what JavaScript is all about...and I'm currently trying to get a menu that will float as I scroll down the page.
I saw the examples you have and I'd love to be able to do that on my website, but I don't understand the scripting that you have written there.
Like, what makes it float from this text...
A: If you want a floatable menu, you should set an absolute position forthe menu and paste the following code into your html page:
Paste the following code into <head> tag
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
Then set coordinates of top-left menu corner in the data .js file, forexample:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=30;
var posY=110;
Then set var floatable=1.
The parameter floatable=1 makes a floatable menu.
Also you can change any of menu parameters inside data .js file.
Q: What I mean is I still want the destination page to be static inthe var menuitems but when the javascript side menu item is clicked, it'll run a js on the onclick or mouseup event.
Is this possible?
something like:
var menuItems = [
["text", "home", "javascript:onclick=your_code_here"]
];
A: You can achieve this by using standard html objects within javascript side menu items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onContextMenu='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Actually you can use any html code within menuItems.
Q: I am contacting you on behalf of my client World of Envelopes as they currently use your menus. We are currently running their SEO campaign and would like to know what is search engine friendly about your new javascript hover menu?
Would it be possible for you to provide me with an example of a client that is currently using this new menu so I can assess the SEO ability of this menu.
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly javascript hover menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
We use search engine friendly code on our website,
http://deluxe-menu.com
You can view source of the page.
Q: Drop Down Menu could be the best solution for my website ... but Ihave one important question: I've seen, that it's possible to open the javascript change menu linked contents in the same or in a new window or in a frame ... but is it possible, too, to generate a new tab? To open a new window often is not possible, because most users have popup-blockers installed. And to open the contents in the same window drives the user away from the main page! Open a new tab seems to be less risky ... is there any solution to be used with Drop Down Menu? I tried to use "_tab" instead of "_self" or "_parent", but it did not work!
A: You should use _blank. If your browser supports tabs your link will beopened in a new tab (except IE, in IE it will be opened in a newwindow).
