Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.
Please let me know. Thanks!
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: Thanks for swift reply, however:
Tried the dmenu.js (only one we use) at our trial site and get the error :
Line 13
Invalid argument
- as you know this js file is obfuscated to one line, so using a debugger does not apply.
A: See the attached example. I've upgraded your javascript layer menu to Deluxe Menu v3.0.
use data file and engine files from the attachment.
You had several errors in the structure of menuItems.
It is not correct to write
["| Contact us","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us","","","","","8","","",],
["||| Energy team","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us/energy_team","","","","","8","","",],
You should write:
["| Contact us","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us","","","","","8","","",],
["|| Energy team","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us/energy_team","","","","","8","","",],
Q: I am trying to implement something with your wonderful product and have annoying problem that I am sure You are going to solve.
I am using 2 deluxe-menus on the same page.
The first one for showing some hierarchy of sites, and the second for showing pop-up right-click context menu (that clicked on some menu-item from the first deluxe-menu) .
The problem is that in case the user clicked on some sub-menu from the first css horizontal menu drop down, then all the sub menus disappear. I want them to stay.
I tried to give to the first deluxe-menu *smHideOnClick*=0 , but it doesn't help.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var smHidePause=-1;
Q: What I want to do is use your XP Tabs Template.
It appears fine in the Preview Pane but when I load it on my web page the sub-items are all listed on the same line as the tabs.
A: If you want to create subtabs in your menu you should use Tab Mode
var tabMode=1;
and write your bmenuItems in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|SItem 226","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|SXP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
but in that case you can't assign the ID of the DIV to show when youclick on the tab. You can set the links only.
