Q: The menu is very large and I am concerned about load speed.
Does the ajax like technology just load the top tabs and then only the sub menus if they are clicked? I have clicked true and added 5 as there are 5 submenus but it does not seem to make any difference.
What can I do to speed up the javascript onclick menu?
A: Check that you've set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=0;
Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: How do you center the text within the top-level menu cels for the xml drop down menu?
There doesn't seem to be a setting for it in the tuner.
There's a justification option for the sub-menus, but not for the top.
A: Use the following parameter to specify align for the top items:
var itemAlignTop="center";
Q: I have tried changing every menu variable I can see to make the actual iconbackground a different color than the menu items background with no success.Is this possible?
I would like the icon background to change with the alternating colors byrow .. and I know how to do this. but when I do it .. all the menus andsubmenus also change and I would like their background to stay white.
A: Yes, it's possible.
You should use an individual style for icon item, please see
