Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the dhtml pull down menu links on a page. (I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and I don't want the links to work).
Is this possible?
I can run this function across my other <A> tags (which sets them all to the current page), but it doesn't reach into the deluxe menu.
for(i=0;i document.links[i].href = "<?php echo(getURL($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]));?>>";
document.links[i].target = "_self";
}
A: To disable your dhtml pull down menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
Q: I have seen a certain menu effect on a few websites and have so far been unable to reproduce it in simply HTML/CSS. Today I saw the effect on a website, looked at the source code and it appears they are using some of your code.
I have a fairly typical screen layout with a menu bar on the left hand 10% of the screen and the main screen content on the right 90%. Some of my screens get very long, so that when you scroll all the way down to the bottom, the menu is left way up off screen. I would like the menu block to move down so that it is always a certain number of pixels below the top of the viewed screen, not the absolute top of the page. Is this something your software does? If so, which one of your products?
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
You should use floatable menu, so you can always see the menu.
But to use the floatable feature
var floatable=1;
you should use the absolute position for the menu
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="10";
Please, try the trial version of the menu.
Q: I ordered & installed the dhtml collapsable menu.
I can't seem to get the floating function to work. Here's how I have the variables set in the data-tree.js file:
var tfloatable = 1;
var tfloatIterations = 10;
var tfloatableX = 0;
var tfloatableY = 1;
And here are the links to the .js files in my HTML doc <head>:

Please let me know if there are any other settings that need to be changed. I'm hoping to go live with this site wed. so a quck reply is appreciated.
A: Notice, your dhtml collapsable menu won't float with relative position. You shouldset:
var tabsolute=1;
Q: I am interested in purchasing your product for use in my company's website code. My clients are not tech-savy, and I do not want to include any code that will generate concern or problems on the user end.
Is there a way to use the JavaScript menus without generating the warning as mentioned in the subject? I know how to allow the active content on my web browser, but I want code that will not require such actions on their browsers.
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Your clients should check browser settings.
Unfortunately, we can't affect on the browser behavior in this case.
