Q: I would love to buy your product BUT, I am not sure if it will do what I want - can I call javascript within the dynamic menu?
For example my old page for disaster recovery we have inserted a URL substitution :
The javascript function is called at the top of the nav page:
<script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" SRC = "../urlSub.js"> </script>
then the link on the nav menu
<a> href="#" ONCLICK = "urlSubstitution('transco/sheet.asp?stype=1')">Table of Contents </a>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, Im not sure if this is possible with your product?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
Q: There is the possibility in the menu that an item has access control, that is is visible or not depending of the user?
A: You can use Javascript API and write your own code.
See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
You can use
dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
to disable your items or
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
to hide your items.
Q: You know how you can drag sub-menus? Well I was wondering if it is possible to drag individual items off of the sub-menu?
A: No, it is not possible to drag items from submenu.
Q: Does your product support image swapping? For instance, if I was building a menu such as the one on your site, how would I swap the "Home", "Product Info", etc images/gif's?
I'm using a JavaScript such as the one below:
<a href="index.html"><img src="images/btn_home_up.gif" name="Image1" width="91" height="33" border="0" id="Image1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image1','','images/btn_home_roll.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a>
A: You can use images for items using standard <img> tag.
But in this case you should change pictures yourselves usingJavascript to make rollover items.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["<img src='image1.gif' width=100 height=20 onmouseover='this.src=\"image2.gif\" onmouseout='this.src=\"image1.gif\"'>Text", link,]
];
or
var menuItems = [
["<img src='image.gif' onmouseover='changeImage(this, 1)' onmouseout='changeImage(this, 0)'>"]
];
