Q: Does your product generate the page code or is t a dll I have to use? Reason I ask is because we store our menu stuff with image references in a db. If your product outputs code for the menu, then I can use that and in my own code I can place/substitute values and work with it from there.
A: We have an .exe file - Deluxe tuner.
It generates .js files with menu parameters.
You can also export your menu to .html file.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [ // here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.) ];
</script>
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.html Q: I have found (was it like this before??) that if I right-mouse-click over a menuitem then I do not see any option to open the URL in new window....
I do not get any options at all to open the URL in new window (or same window), in the browser context menu (both IE and Firefox).
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. This is only text, not alink. And we won't change it. Because now you're able to paste anyhtml code within menu item.
var menuItems = [
["<div>Arbeidsplaner</div>","cp_workplan.php",,,,"_self","0","0"],
You can write your links in the following way:
["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com/'>google</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com'>Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],
And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #000;
text-decoration: underline;}
Q: This is probably a really basic question, but I was wondering if
your dhtml menu maker makes it possible to determine the direction of the
drop down menu. In other words, my menu is at the bottom of the page
and I want the drop down list to actually go "up," not down.
Is that possible with your software?
A: Yes it is possible.
You should use the following parameter
var subMenuVAlign="top"; //downward
var subMenuVAlign="bottom"; //upward
var subMenuAlign="left"; //from left to right
var subMenuAlign="right"; //from right to left
Q: In the javascript pulldown menu submenu width seems not to work in FF...
A: You should specify units in "px".
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=208px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["smHeight=200px"],
];
