Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu item of the sliding drop down menu.
A: 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 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 love the new pop windows. That is something I need right now. I am having a problem trying to figure out how to generate a link to window open html. I looked at what you have on your site but it is not clear to me.
A: You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
In the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
Or you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick or onMouseout on a link.
So, you should create a link (you can also use other object) on your page and set id="" for it, forexample:
<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>
In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link
If you want to show the window open html when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",
Q: How can I manage that the last clicked javascript expanding tree item stays tree highlighted?
A: We have the following API function to highlight the pressed item in Deluxe Tree
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
But unfortunately this function doesn't work for AJAX submenus.
We'll try to add this feature soon (using save state feature).
