Q: How I can make paths for images and links in my DHTML MENU absolute?
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters in your DHTML MENU.
Q: Is there any way through script to call the function that would be called if the user clicked a dhtml tabbed menu?
A: You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:
var bmenuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var bmenuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];
Q: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?
When I put var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.
A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ], // 0 style
