Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

Q: I have the menu installed over a Flash movie. In IE the menu flickers and in Firefox it disappears under Flash movie. Is there a fix for this that allows me to have menu lay pover Flash movie?

You can have such effect in IE7. You should click on the flash. Yourmenu will stop flicker.


Q: Hi, I am looking at your Deluxe Menu package. It looks very nice, but I cannot find any kind of manual for how to use it. There's some online documentation on the Tuner, but (for example) I can't find anything that documents the dm_popup window open options. I find some sample code I can copy that has the call

return dm_popup(0, 1000, event)

1. So, what do these parameters mean?
2. It takes a long time for the menu to go away if you don't click anything. From tracing through the obfuscated javascript with firebug, it looks like the second parameter sets a timeout to make the menu go away. But when I change the "1000" to "1", the menu does not appear to behave any differently.
3. If I want to have more than one of these menus show up on the page, how would I do that?
4. I have it set up to show the popup when you right-click a page element. However, the menu items only appear to fire if you then left-click them. This is confusing to the user: I'd like to have the menu items also fire when you right-click them for consistency. How would I configure this?

These are the kinds of questions I would like to have answers to, but I cannot find any relevant documentation. Do I have lots of tracing through javascript ahead of me? If I have just missed the relevant documentation, please tell me where to find it. I would love to use your product, but if I have to spend all my time tracing javascript it's not a big win for me. Thanks for your assistance.

A: 1) You can find window open options info on our website:
http://deluxe-menu.com/popup-mode-sample.html
Click "Show additional info" button on this page.

2) You should adjust the second parameter in dm_popup() function:dm_popup(0, 500, event);

3) See the first parameter in the dm_popup() function is menuInd, soif you want to create several popup menus you should create severaldata file and call them on your page, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0 //standard menu (doesn't use popup feature)
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4

and so on.

See how you should call dm_popup() functions:

<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
....

<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50"
onMouseOver="return dm_popup(2, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
// 3 - is ID of the fourth menu
... and so on.

4) Unfortunately it is not possible now.

Unfortunately we don't have additional documentation yet. But you canfind all need info on our website. Try to use search field on ourwebsite.

You can dynamically generate the menu structure. For example movemenuItems into your phph page (or embed in a Smarty Template) insideSCRIPT tag:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    var menuItems = [
      ["Terminal","index.php?form=TERMINAL&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Kassenschnitte","index.php?form=KS&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Buchungen Debit","index.php?form=DEBIT&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Kredit- / Bonuskarten","index.php?form=KREDIT&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Rucklastschriften","index.php?form=RLAST&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Monatsstatistik","index.php?form=STATISTIK&tid={$tid}"],
      ["RL-H.Rechnung","index.php?form=RLASTABR&tid={$tid}"],
      ["LiveStream","index.php?form=LIVESTREAM&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Reports","index.php?form=REPORTS&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Datenhistorie","index.php?form=HISTORY&tid={$tid}"],
      ["Bankleitzahlen","index.php?form=BLZ&tid={$tid}"],
      ["<br />Ihre Nutzerdaten","index.php?form=NDATEN&tid={$tid}"],
   ["<br />{$NAVI}",""],
  ];
  dm_init();
</script>


Q: Will all your navigation bar examples work cross-frame?

A: See how should you create cross frame menu:

1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.

Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>

Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I'm a having an issue with my dhtml dropdown menus poping-up behind a flash object on a page. The key to this issue is that the menus work perfectly in our non-secure (HTTP) development environment, but do not work correctly on our secure (HTTPS) beta environment. The code on the 2 environments is exactly the same, and the beta environment does work when viewed in HTTP. Both the flash object and the Deluxe-Menu are called using relative paths, not absolute paths.

Please let me know what additional information you need from me. I appreciate any help you can provide.

A: Check that you're using latest version of engine files - v3.3.

You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.

See, how you should install flash on your pages.
