Q: How can I set the top-level menu items of the html pop up menu to be transparent?
A: You should create Individual Item and Submenu styles with transparent itemBackColor and assign it for the top items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontColor=#000000,#000000"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0"],
];
Q: I have installed all .js files in a subfolder under my html folder. \html\menudir\ all js files are here
My html file is in html folder.
Inserted in HEAD section in HTML file
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">simple 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>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
Later in BODY, used your sample popup javascript data-popup-mode.js file
<script type="text/javascript"
src="menudir/data-popup-mode.js"></script>
<img src="../images/lov.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> When I view the page with simple javascript menu and click on the image, I get an error.
What am I doing wrong?
A: If you have only one menu on the page you should write popup functionin the following way:
return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);
Q: There is one other issue I am hoping you can help with? When the dhtml web menu drops down in Safari over a SWF -- it disappears. I have added the function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide() code to the top of my data file. Can you please advise what else I can try?
A: Submenu couldn't overlap flash in Safari correctly.
And the following code:
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&(navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) &&(navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
in function
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&(navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) &&(navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
cause flash to disappear in Safari.
You can try to write this function in the following way:
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
Q: I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript menu, an item 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?
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 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.
