Q: How do I go about using the menu javascripts feature and javascript popup on the same HTML page? I'm getting a Java Error.
A: 1) Notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once on yourhtml page.
2) When you have several menus on the same page they have different menuInd (0,1,2,3...)
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"></script> //popup menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);">
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"> </script> //popup menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
Q: I am working currently with deluxe-menu and am perfectly happy so far except one little thing: Does there exist a way to have the mousepointer being a hand instead of the regular pointer while going over the menu (like it would be regular links)?
A: You should set this parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
In this case you'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.
Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: I have made a horizontal menu that have different colors for different pages. What I'm not figuring out is out to make the current page be the reversed color state? This page should actually have the "images" highlighted. I'm using the Deluxe Tuner plus deluxe-menu+deluxe-tree+deluxe-tabs-trial.exe.
A: Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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.
You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: I am trying to evaluate the trial version of deluxepopup window.
The script popup works great but I am having a specific requirement of making it amodal window; i.e. when the popup is opened, users shouldn't be allowed to access the main page. Please let me know how to make this happen.
Appreciate your quick response on this.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to create modal window using Deluxe Popup Window.It doesn't have such a feature now.
We'll try to add this feature in the next versions.
