Q: I’d like to know how to populate the navigation bar menu from a database?
A: Please, see the example of .php file.The content of .php file depends on your database structure.
<?php
// The example for PHP/MySQL.
// MySQL database has the table "menuTable" that contains data for menu items.
// The table has the following fields:
// 1. "text" - item text
// 2. "link" - item link
// 3. "icon1" - item icon (normal state)
// 4. "icon2" - item icon (mouseover state)
function getMenuItems()
{
$jsItems = '';
// Select all records from table "menuTable"
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;');
// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
{
$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
}
// Return Javascript code
return $jsItems;
}
?>
<script>
var menuParam1 = value1;
var menuParam2 = value2;
var menuParam2 = value2;
...
var menuItems = [
// Write Javascript code for menu items
echo getMenuItems();
?>
];
</script>
Q: But what mean the message "Incorrect Copyright" that you see on the javascript menu ie TABS on our website? Because we did the solution that you described in the original message that I copy you below. In some computers appears this messages in other not.
The key that is in the .js file.
A: Installation of your menu is not correct:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-tabs.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<!--script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/dtabs.js"></script-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
You should write:
<noscript><p><a href="http://deluxe-tabs.com">javascript menu ie by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></p></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
Try that.
Q: I would like to create navigation menu where the background is transparent until you move the mouse over itwhen it turns to a color. I erased the first color number from the list and that worked, but when I scrolled the mouse over the links, the background stayed light blue even though the mouse was no longer over them. Is there a way to let the background start transparent, turn light blue when the mouse is over it, then go back to transparent after the mouse is off it?
A: You can use transparent parameter, for example:
var itemBackColor=["transparent","#4792E6"];
Q: Is it possible to make the menuitems rightclickable in the latest version of javascript dhtml menu. I want to rightclick on the dropdown item and choose open in new window.
A: No, there is no such a feature in Deluxe Menu v3.2.7.
You can write your item in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com'>test test test</a>",""],
But you should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}
