Q: I try to use the javascript menu popups to show an image; then when the mouse is over the image I dynamically generate a panel of http links. It works perfectly, but the problem is that I would like to do the same with several images (for instance 2) and different links : I'm not able to do that, whether I change the value of menuItems var or not, I display the same link values on both images (it seems menuItems is a global var and can be set only once).
Have you heard about this problem and could you give me a solution (this is a bit urgent, I have sold this solution to my customers) ?
A: See how you should call dm_popup() functions:
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 0 - is ID of the first menu
....
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
... and so on.
Q: The secondary javascript menu style sub menu under Aircraft doesn't line up the same as in Tuner..
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------|--
| top |
--|------------|--
| menu |
--|------------|--
| |
| submenus |
| |
Now a second row has 3 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
Q: Will the java menu api changing the node image on the fly in real time?
A: Yes, API functions will change the node image on the fly.
Q: ["item text", "javascript:your_code_here", ...]
This won't work the java script executes when the link is clicked it is not the link itself.
Below is what I normally use and how would I incorporate that?
<a onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');return false;" href="web/equipment/hydraulic_truck.htm">
A: I'm not sure I understand you.
You can use
NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');
code in an item link:
["text", "javascript:NewWindow(url,'name','490','400','yes');"]
But if you don't want that, you can just insert <a> into an item text.
