Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
  • Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/inactive. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks.
  • Opportunity to control the menu from the keyboard.
  • Cross-frame mode allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages that use frame-based structure. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.

Q: I can not figure out how you put the arrow that shows there's more information in the php drop down menu?
I tried and tried to figure it out where you add this .gif file?

A: You should set the following parameters in your data.js file:

  var arrowImageMain=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowmain.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
//Normal and mouseover arrow images for top-level items.

  var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowsub.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowsubo.gif"];
// Normal and mouseover arrow images for submenu items.

You can set these parameters in Deluxe Tuner also:

Open 'Icons' section in the main window and set   var arrowImageMain and   var arrowImageSubparameters.



Q: Can I use my own images as the tabs in a div tab menu?

A: The Drop down menu items have the following structure:
  var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];

Where iconNormal, iconOver - Icons of an item: icon in normal state, icon in mouseover state.

So you can set your menu items in a such way:

  var menuItems = [
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
["","", "icon2.gif", "icon2o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon3.gif", "icon3o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon4.gif", "icon4o.gif"],
 ["|","testlink.htm", "icon5.gif", "icon5o.gif"],
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
];

Q: IHow can i make that the background-color will be standing behind the click in this part of dhtml menu slide?


A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, but
you can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<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>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

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.
