Q: I am trying to create a multicolumn dhtml navigation menu and nothing appears when I upload it to my server. I am attaching my menu called menu.js that I have created and placed in a folder called menudir.
Can you please advise, thank you.
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">dhtml navigation 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: Two questions. First I get a "Error! Skin Load!" popup when my onmouseover popup window loads.
I see references to "skin.js". Is this supposed to be generated?
Secondly.
I am being really dense. I would like to use Deluxe Popup Windows in response to a mouse click on a picture. So far with deluxe Menu, I just put a statement like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="rvmonitor.js"></script>
where I wanted the menu to show up. The web page loads and the Deluxe Menu displays.
I have managed to make the onmouseover popup window appear by using that code, the web page loads and the popup loads (with the skin error).
I know how to get a larger picture from a smaller one like this:
<a href="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG">
<img class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasketmount">></a>
I just don't know how to put the rvmonitor.js into the <a href...></a> function. Could I have a simple example?
A: See, to install Deluxe Popup Window you should call two .js files onyour page:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script> //engine file
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script> //data file
...
</body>
Copy deluxe-popup-window.files folder and deluxe-popup-window.js fileinto the same folder with your html page.
To open your window on mouse click you should do the following things:
<a title="Click to open the window" href="javascript:;"onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<img class=\'border0\'src=\'../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG\' alt=\'Gasketmount\'>', 'Full Image', 'width=180,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite')"><imgmount\'>class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasket mount"></a>.Q: Whenver I choose the enable Ajax feature and set the AjaxCount to 0, my menus don't pop out anymore. How do I get it to pop out?
A: That variable set the maximal number of submenus that will be loadedfrom server on your page.
If you don't know exact number of submenus you can set a big value forthis parameter.
If you set var dmAJAXCount=0; you cannot see you submenus.
To enable Ajax feature you should set, for example:
var dmAJAX=1;
var dmAJAXCount=100;
Q: The contact page drop down menu examples would not work with the Firefox browser. And the submenu would show a white bg in the Internet Explorer browser.
A: Your color parameters are incorrect:
var itemBackColor=["91C24D","8B3A96"];
var itemBorderColor=["ffffff","ffffff"];
You should write them in the following way:
var itemBackColor=["#91C24D","#8B3A96"];
var itemBorderColor=["#ffffff","#ffffff"];
