Q: I will build menu for several books’ Contents, each book is more than 100 lines and has links. I think if all the books’ contents in 1 *.JS file then it is TOO LOONG!!.
Can I break it down to 1 book for 1*.JS ? How?
A: You cannot divide your menuItems parameter.
You can only use one .js file for your menu parameters and the other.js file for your menuItems = [...];
But you can do it in two ways.
1) You can try to use several menus on the one page, for example:
param.js // file with menu parameters (all parameters before menuItems = [...];)
menu1.js // menuItems for "AC-DC", "ANLOG"
menu2.js // menuItems for "DIGITAL", "WinXP"
menu3.js // menuItems for "MS-Word", "MS-Excel"
In these menu files you should write
menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
Then you should install your menu in the following way
<script type="text/javascript" src="param.js"></script>
<table>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu3.js"></script>
But it will be easier to use vertical menu in such case
var isHorizontal=0;
var smColumns=1;
2) You can also try to add some code, see the attached example.
In the first file (@MY books (Multiple Col.js) I write menuItems for the first item "AC-DC".
Notice that you should delete comma at the end of the last item
var menuItems = [
["AC-DC","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","testlink.htm", , , , , , , , ],
...
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH02","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH01","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
];
In the second file (@MY books (1.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["ANLOG","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book2","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
In the third file (@MY books (2.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["DIGITAL","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1332","", , , , , , , , ],
["WinXP","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1333","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Word","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1334","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Excel","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1335","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
dm_init();
Notice that you should write dm_init(); function in the last file.
In the .html file you should write
...
<tr>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (Multiple Col.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (2.js"></script>
</tr>
I hope you understand me.
Q: The /js subdirectory of the Apycom Tree Menu trial package has no data file, i.e. the data file is missing.
A: This file can be renamed, for example, into tree-data.js.
This file contains Javascript code with menu parameters and items.
It has the following structure:
var param1 = value1;
var param2 = value2;
var param3 = value3;
...
var tmenuItems = [...];
Please, check that.
Use our examples to see how to install the menu.
Use DHTML Tuner application from the same .zip package to create andconfigure your menus.
Q: My question is regarding the single user license. I am currently writing a website for use on my companies intranet. The machine I am writing it on will unlikely be the machine that it eventually lives on, which could also quite possibly change as well. Looking at the instructions for the license, it seems I require a domain name for the key. The problem is that the current machine I am using is not in DNS, & even if it were, the machine that it will eventually live on will not resolve to the same name (if it even will have a DNS entry in our internal DNS server). So, does the license look for the name that is specified from the client browser, or does it look internally on the web server itself? I am wondering if I set the web servers hosts file or httpd.conf to reference the name given in the license key taht will allow me to transfer the menu to another server?
A: You can register the menu for a domain name or for IP address.
In other words, you should register the menu for the domain name thatyou print in a browser's search string, for example:
http://intranet/
http://intranet/folder
http://192.168.0.1
Q: Can I expand all tree category, or expand two tree category?
I like your javascript menu expand product.
A: You can expand all items in Deluxe Tree, set:
var texpanded=1;
To expand specific items you should add "+" sign before item's text:
["+Samples Gallery","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "1", "0", "", ],
["|+Samples Block 1","", "default.files/icon3_s.gif", "default.files/icon3_so.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||New Sample 1","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||New Sample 2","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
