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.

Recent Questions

Q: Is there a way to have the menu stay expanded in the same exact state when
I click on a menu item of the javascript tree view and go to a new page?

A: There is no need to write additional code on a server side to remember what items were expanded/collapsed.
DHTML Tree Menu can save items state automatically.
Please, see the example of the menu that works with cookies:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html

Set the following parameter:

  var tsaveState = 1;

and the menu remembers its structure for each user who visit your page.
Try to expand/collapse items. Then reload the page and you'll see results.


Q: What makes your menu in javascript search engine friendly?

A: You should add the following link on your page. Also these links willbe visible if javascript turn off in your browser and you cannot seethe menu.

<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>



Q: I do have issues. There are not the problems when you are on the home page (you can click on one of the dropdown submenus and go there.
However, when you try to go to another page from there to another page on a nother drop down, nothing happens except javascript erros. The dropdowns physical work, in that they drop down, but the links don't go anywhere. Does that make sense.


A: See, the problem was in your dmWorkPath parameter

On all pages placed in the subfolder you should write it in thefollowing way:

<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "../ifnav.files/";</script>

Please, correct it.

You should also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.infocusnet.org/design/";

  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

Please, use pathPrefix_link parameter.


Q: Hello I am testing your product Deluxe Menu, and want to create a special tree-menu.

I have a question:

Is it possible to have two icons in front of each dhtml menu item?

I need two icons in front of each menu-item that will symbolize an alarm and a sabotage-alarm.

I want to use animated gifs on these so that I can visualize alarm and sabotage on each menu-item.

But I also need an icon on the right side of the menu to show if the menu-item is expanded or not.

I want the structure to be like this:

Icon | icon а| Main menuitem1а | expandedicon

   Icon | icon | sub menuitem1 | expandedicon

     Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.1 | expandedicon

     Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.2 | expandedicon

Icon | icon | sub menuitem2 | expandedicon

Icon | icon а| Main menuitem2а | expandedicon

Is this possible to achieve with your menu?

A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use any html code within menu items.

 ["|<img src='default.files/icon1_so.gif' style='margin-right: 10px'>Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif","default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
