Q: Is there any way to call a javascript function on mouseover from a menu item for a sub navigation bar?
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item. However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["item text
", "index.html"]
];
Q: I am trying to use the following horizontal scrolling tabs:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.
All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Any style tab menu that I use produces the same results.
A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
You should write:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
Try that.
Q: We are testing you menu in our application. It is being used in cross frame mode. It works very nicely except a couple issues.
The main one is after loading a new page in the sub menus window when I go back to the main menu to select another option but on the initial mouse over it takes several seconds for the menu to come up. Once the delay of loading the initial submenu is over it loads all others very quickly until a new page is loaded again. Is there a way to optimize the menu to reduce this load time? I have already set dm_writeAll=0 but that only increased the speed of the initial display of the main menu.
And the other question is does the dmObjectsCheck option work in cross frame mode? I have it set =1 and the submenus still underneath objects (such as select list) which have a higher z order.
A: Try to do the following:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_initFrame()function from data .js file -- move them instead of files calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=data.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1); </script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatmenus must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.
Deluxe Menu overlap select objects in cross-frame mode.

2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
