Q: We currentlly have a menu that uses standard html hyperlinks to open a new window with _blank as the target. Unfortunately, the size of the window is controlled by the browser and we want to be able to control it. The only way that we know how to do that is to use the window.open client-side function and pass the window's dimensions. Here is a sample of the code that would do that:
window.open("url","_blank","height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
How can we add the javascript code to the down menus css instead of a link? Do you have any samples?
A: You can use javascript code within menuItems, for example
["Test Window","javascript:window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank','height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');", , ,'Monitor Exceptions' , ,'0', '0',,],
Q: If I open a pdf file within the frame work, the javascript onmouseover menu does not work.
A: Try to load your .pdf file into the IFRAME, for example on yourcontent frame (frame where you load your pdf files) you'll have:
<iframe src="files/1.pdf" name="iframe" style="z-index:0;" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
Submenus will overlap PDF correctly if you load it in the IFRAME only!
Q: I can’t highlight the selected menu item of the current page in the javascript flyout menu?
A: Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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.
You can also set the correct:
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: I need to set individual itemtargets for a number of menu items for the web drop down menu?
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_blank";
or var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the main frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
...
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
