Recent Questions

Q: Typically in order to generate a menu with multiple layers I’d put a pipe character in front of the menu text..  For example:

 ["|Page Admin","/admin/handoutadmin.php", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Student Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=1", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Teacher Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=2", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Family Letters","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=4", , , , "_new", , , , ],
     ["||Transparencies","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=3", , , , "_new", , , , ],

  However, when I try to do it with dm_ext_addItem it actually SHOWS the pipe character and doesn’t create any menu levels at all. 
For example:

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Add a Handout to this Lesson", "", "", "", "", "", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Student Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

How can I generate multiple levels of the menu with javascript?

A: I suppose that your code is not valid
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);

Try to write it in the following way:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0,  ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);



Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu item of the sliding drop down menu.

A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

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 want to use the java mac tabs, but my sub menu has no image like on the table sample on your site.

A: You should assign Individual Style for all subitems:

  var bmenuItems = [

["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Link 1_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
 ["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],




Q: Is it possible to use an external file with these applets? Have tried
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myscript.js">
</SCRIPT>

but it does not work!

Any suggestions? I have one site with many pages, it would be handy not to have to change 20 pages just to modify one link.

A: You can use "menuItemsFile" param, example
<param name="menuItemsFile" value="menu1.txt">
The menu menu items are in menu1.txt, so you'll need to changeonly this menu1.txt if it necessary to add/remove/change items.
