var tsaveState=0;Q: It seems that if I try and use the syntax ["| with some HTML such as <DIV class = 'myclass'> inside dropdown menu it IGNORES the HTML and just treats it like another link.
But if I don't start the line with ["| ..... Then I get a syntax error.
For example:
I am trying to place 4 links in a square shape in the top left of my screen. To do this I was going to create DIV's and set the TOP and LEFT to different values from within a loop (I left out the code that does the updating for myleft and mytop...)
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "", "", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
<end loop>
];
What am I doing wrong here?.... Can you show me how to accomplish this task?
A: No, this syntax is incorrect. It won't work.
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],<end loop>
];
You should have <div> ... </div> tags in each dropdown menu item!
It is not correctly to write <div> ... </div> tags for wholesubmenu.
var menuItems = [
["|<div style='position: absolute; left:<cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>text</div>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
];
Q: I have the mouseover menu working fine but want the chosen option to display in a tab under the menu.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't have API functions to set pressed item on-the-fly. You can set presseditem on the page loading only.
But you can use onClick event for the Deluxe Menu items and call the following function toopen appropriate tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
["<div onClick='dtabs_itemClick(0,2)'>Open 3rd tab</div>","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],Q: Our requirement is to design a website using Cross Frame Menu ,
in allcombinations like Horizontal Menu with sub menus Vertical Menu with sub menus
Let me know the necessary information to create Cross Frame Menu using your side dropdown menu..
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
