Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Recent Questions

Q: We have two frames in a frameset, one for the menu and one for the content where the javascript menu frame expands normally without any problem. Our content frame's source is determined dynamically. The problem occurs when the content frame contains a page with another frameset in it. Unfortunately we can not avoid this for now. And when this happens our menu stops expanding.

A: Unfortunately it is really possible that you'll have problems in thatcase because the index of the content frame will be changed.

For example now you have:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frame> //content index=1
</frameset>
Your init function will be:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

But if you'll have frameset instead of content frame:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frameset>
<frame> // index=1
<frame> //content index=2
</frameset>
</frameset>
You should write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);

You should change your javascript menu frame init function in that case.



Q: I would like all my submenus of the html menu to appear in the same location on the page and not relative to the parent menu item.

A: You can do it using the following parameters:

  var subMenuAlign = "left"; - Horizontal alignment for submenus.

"pleft", "pcenter", "pright" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.

  var subMenuVAlign = "top"; - Submenus vertical alignment.

"ptop", "pcenter", "pbottom" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.



Q: At my site the java script popup menu works fine with the frame on the home page but hides behind a new flash form I created. You can access this in "Marketing Tools" and click on "What's your Project". I noticed that it seems to work fine in IE but not in Firefox.

A: See fix for java script popup menu and flash in Firefox here:

Q: I have a couple of questions related to the deluxe-menu software. Here they are:

I have been working with on a site and I am kind stack using the program. I want to use the tree option but not all java script drop menu items need to have subcategories. For example:

Category 1

      Sub-menu 1-1

      Sub-menu 1-2

      Sub-menu 1-3

Category 2

      Sub-menu 2-1

      Sub-menu 2-2

      Sub-menu 2-3

Category 3

Category 4 When someone click on the "Category 1" or "Category 2", I want them to see the sub-menus. However, when some click on "Category 3" or "Category 4", I would like to have it open the appropriate page. How do I do this? This will make a lot easier because not all java script drop menu items need to have sub-menus… I hope that makes sense and you can help me on getting this done.



Thanks in advance and looking forward to your answers,

A: You cannot use links for the top java script drop menu items in XP Style only.

  var tXPStyle=1;

but you can write:

["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com'>Item 45</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
