Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Setup menu parameters manually or using De Luxe Tuner. Then add some rows of a code within html page code and your menu is ready!
  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.
  • Ability to handle the menu from the keyboard via keystrokes.

Q: Cross-frame mode: after clicking on a menu item and the subframe is loading and then mouse over the menu when the subframe has not finished loading a javascript error occurs and then the javascript vertical menu breaks.

A: You can get this error when you load pages from the another domain.

Deluxe Menu can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!



Q: The mentioned effect occurs even when the entire page is completely loaded!

As we explained before, it occurs only when we view the page with explorer 6.

(It is working fine under explorer 7 and under Firefox, so you should check it under explorer 6)

Please see the following link with our test page which demonstrates the problem.

As you will see, the buttons of the javascript menu scroll and the text will disappear (become white) while you move the mouse cursor over the menu buttons. It has nothing to do with page loading.

We are using a "Vista style" javascript menu scroll with custom design pictures.

A: This is IE6 bug.

Q: Is it possible to expand thetree menu javascript in a predefined way?
Lets say, Item 1 expanded, Item 2 not expanded, anyway, it should look like I select it in the ITEMS program window.
Now it is exanded completely or not, like I use the switch in the common parameters.



A: You can expand some items by default.
Add '+' sign before items text in that case:

["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "deluxe-tree.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_s.gif", "deluxe-tree.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", "data-new.js", ],

"Deluxe Tree: XP Style" item will be expanded by default in that case.
Use   var texpanded=1; parameter to expand all menu items by default.

Use function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand) API function to expand the specificmenu items dynamically:

Q: I'm interested in using DHTMLMenu in web applications I develop and have some questions about licensing.

My company develops web applications that act as front ends for clients' legacy mainframe programs.  DHTML Menu would be of great benefit in adding navigation functionality to these applications.  Each application is custom-developed for each client, so we don't have a pre-packaged product in which the menu would be used.  Would the Developer License meet our needs for this sort of development?

Also, a small minority of our clients develop and distribute applications themselves based on the applications that we develop for them.  Does the Developer License support transferable redistribution?  If not, how much would a license that permitted this cost?

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.


A: Yes, Developer License will suit you.

You can use it within your applications and distribute them.
