Q: Is it possible to have menu items act like regular hyperlinks?
For instance in Firefox I like to "middle click" hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, or in IE right click and open in new window.
However with Deluxe-Menu this does not seem to work.
A: If you want to open your links in the new window you should set the item target parameter to "_blank", for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , "_blank", , , , ],
...
You can include also any html code in the Item Text.
For example:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
Q: We want to evaluate Delux Menu(DM). But before doing any testing I want to ask few questions.
-#1 Can DM support context menus on right click with in a DIV and on a button click.
ex: I have a Options button on the web page and also a DIV which is transformed using xml and xsl.
Onclick of the button and right click within the DIV area should popup the same menu.
I have various DIVs and each DIV has its own context menu.
-#2 Any issues like IE memory leaks by using DM. I am asking this we are having some issues with the present menu control we are using. IE hangs up when the web page is idle for more than 20 mins.
A: 1. Deluxe Menus supports such a feature. Please, go tohttp://deluxe-menu.com, section "Samples->Functional Samples->Popup Menu"
You can create any number of menus on a page.
2. We don't know about such a problem with Deluxe Menu. Please, try atrial version of DM. It has a full functionality.
Q: My client wants their drop down navigation to lock into place when someone visits a page. Is there a way to do this?
Right now it disappears when you click the link.
A: I suppose that you're saying about submenus.
Try to set the pressed item using the following API function:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dynamic menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
parentOpen = true/false - open all submenus to show the selected item
See example here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Try to click 'Highlight "Product Info/Installation/Description ofFiles" item'.
You can also try to use the following parameter:
var smHidePause = 1000;
A delay (in ms) between mouse is moved from submenu and its closing.
You can make submenus to stay visible till you click outside the menu or scroll your page.
To enable this feature you should set this parameter in the following way: var smHidePause = -1; Q: I'm struggling with one last issue on my navigation. When you have a screen resolution about the same size as the site width, when a sub menu pops up, It displays sometimes to the left of the first drop down menu list rather than the left. Is there a way of changing the way this displays if the screen size is smaller than 800px wide or so.
A: If there is no enough room on the right side of your browser windowdrop down menu list submenus will be shown on the left side.
