Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.
#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?
#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?
#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?
A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2"], //style0
];
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],
...
[" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.
2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=120px"],
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles
3) Try to set this parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Q: I've finally got it working and it looks good. So thanks. But... unfortunally there's still a small problem wich occured after I got everything else working: No matter if I set the parmeter " var texpanded" to '1' or '0' it expands by default tree menu javascript. Why?
I also have another question I forgot to ask you about earlier: Originally I only had the data.js file but in the non-profit zip file you gave me there was no "data.js" file, only "data-tree.js". Wich one will the script use? Do I need both? The javascript call I put where I want the menu to appear calls for "DATA. js". So what good does the "data-TREE.js" file do?
I include the "data.js" file if you need to have a look at it. The "data-tree. js" file is identical now that I changed all the " var tmenuItems" at the bottom). (The "menu.html" I guess you can look at yourself by "View source".)
Also, the submenus where I would like to put XP style menus are not finished yet but for now I have the same "tree" script in them. They are under "DART/dartspel.html", and on six artist discographys under MUSIK: Edguy, Katie Melua, Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Magnus Uggla. This is if you'ld like to see the sub pages where I use other "copys" of Deluxe-tree. (I hope you don't mind that the "Illegal copyright" nag is very small. It's supposed to dissapear anyway with the new Non-profit license).
A: 1) See the structure of your tmenuItems is incorrect now.
You should write:
["->HEM (Klicka f?r meny)","welcome.html", "data.files/hem.gif", "data.files/hem2.gif", "data.files/hem.gif", "Startsidan", "right", "", ],
Without '|' symbol in the beginning.
2) You should write tleft parameter correctly. Now you have:
//--- Positioning
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="00px";
var ttop="10px";
Write it in the following way:
var tleft="10px";
3) data-tree.js file is the default tree menu javascript file. There is no need to use it if you already haveyour data.js file.
Q: Question is where in the data file configuration or within the menu Tuner would I inseart the icons for individual item labels and center them over the text or other alignments like you did in the horizontal menu on the deluxe-menu.com web site?
A: You should write, for example, so:
["<img src='data.files/micon1.gif' width=32 height=32><br> Home","testlink.html", , ,"" , , , , , ],
Q: Once again, I need your help....I have gone through my eniter site to fix what it takes to keep this menu from hiding the flash header when you role over the main menu items. It still hides. The problem still exists. Help!
A: You should add the following function in the beginning of your data file
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
You should add this function each time you change your menu in DeluxeTuner as it deletes this function from your data file.
