Q: I have a question that I cannot find in your FAQ section about your Deluxe Tree Menu.
Bought the whole set a few days ago and is very happy about it, I am uzzled & frustrated about one thing now though.
- = Link
+ = Link with subCat.
I have a menu that looks something like this:
- Home
+ Our products
+ FAQ
+ Stores
- Contact
+ Wholeseller
+ About us
Now every link here has a icon/s to the right that shows if the category is folded up or not. Trouble is that so has the - Home and - Contact that DON'T have any subitems! How to create dhtml menu so those two tree items won't get the rightsided icons?
The frustrating/confusing thing is if I place - Home or - Contact into lets say + Our products, the right side icon goes away and there it looks as I want it. But I NEED it to look this way in the top section.
A: You have icons in the top items on the right side in XP-style only.
You can set the following parameter to turn off XP-style:
var tXPStyle=0;
Q: I need a navigation bar dhtml where on the click of certain items, server side code on the page can be called and executed.
I need to create a multiple item select menu. Sothe menu would need to remain open and allow a user to selectmultiple items and would either submit onmouseout or maybe a “submitthese selections” menu item.
A: You can try to use Deluxe Tree in that case:
http://deluxe-tree.com
You can paste any html code inside item text, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menu1.js
["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'><option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3</select>", "", "", "", "", "","", "0"],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go'style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
["|<INPUT TYPE=checkbox CHECKED ID=chk1 onclick='choosebox1()'>Uncheck this check box for some free advice","","","",],
["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],
You should also add your own code, so your checkbox will workcorrectly.Q: We've been using Deluxe Menu for a couple of years now and we're very pleased with it. Recently, we switched to a layout heavy on CSS, and when we insert the javascript menu code into an absolutely-positioned div, the menu appears where it should, but the sub-menus drop down off to the side in both Firefox and IE. I've tried adjusting the x-offsets in the configuration file with negative values to bring them closer to the top-level menu item, but this doesn't seem to do the trick completely.
I also went through a number of sample questions in the support section of the Deluxe Menu site, but I haven't been able to find any sort of resolution.
If you have any suggestions, I'd be very appreciative.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "POSITION: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px"
to the
<div id=div_name>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=div_name style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px">aaspot_US~.Hration...M&Project Tool Configuration.Try that.
Q: I already have your product. I need to know if I can call js functions using the .js file in java menu sample.
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
