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: I am trying to figure out how to specify the css for the top css dropdown menu.

I saw this in some of the example code, but there was nothing similar in Deluxe Tuner

  var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver" ],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

I tried adding the above to my js code, but it didn't work. I can get it to work in non-css through Deluxe Tuner.

I am trying to draw a white border around the blue css dropdown menu

.topMenu
{
background-color:Blue;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: White;
}

/* Style for submenus */
.submenu
{
}

/* Style for top items: normal state */
.topItemNormal
{
background-color:Blue;
color:White;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform:none;
font-weight:normal;
FONT-SIZE: 11pt;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial;
width:100%;
padding:2px 4px;
}

A:   var itemStyles = [

["CSS=topItemNormal,topItemOver","CSSText=topItemTextNormal,topItemTextOver"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["CSS=topMenu"],
];

The following code is Individual Styles. You can edit them in DeluxeTuner.

Open your data file, click "Edit Individual Styles..." button on themain window. And create individual item style and individual submenustyle. Then you should assign these styles to your items.

Q: I am trying to use the following horizontal tabs menu:

http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html

My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.

All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}

You should write:

TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}



Q: When the menus drop down the background is white but it is see through, this is ok on the homepage but on the other pages it is making the text unreadable. Is there a way of keeping the background of the submenus solid so it isn't see through javascript expanding menu?

A: You should set the following parameter:

  var transparency="100";


Q: Now I experiences a problem with the Danish letters in dhtml menue.
I have changed the letters in the scriptfile - but this does not work.
Have we a problem with Danish letters?

A: Please, check that you've set "Tools/Use utf8 encode".

Notice that you should have UTF8 charset on your page too:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="UTF-8">

You can also use another charset on your html page and open your data file in text editor,
enter thissymbols and save data file in the way you save your html page.

Notice that you should turn off "Tools/Use utf8 encode" setting in
order to open your data file correctly in Deluxe Tuner.
