Q: I'm currently experimenting with your script which I far more performant than any of the other I have tried so far, so we will probably go with yours and get a distributer license.
I do have a problem though...
I have two menus on my site.
Unfortunately, as they are being used, if you go over the first item in the left menu, it will show its submenu at the top; if you go over the first item of the top menu, it will also show the contents of the second menu...
How can we change this?
A: Installation of your menu is not correct.
See more info about installation here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
There is no
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
parameter on your page.
Notice also that you should call dmenu.js file only once and then callyour data files.
Now you have two calls of dmenu.js file.
Q: For example if you use the Growing Goodness menu located under Media Categories the first category is Agriculture w/ a sub category "Community Supported (CSA)" it is the sub category that is an active link. Is it possible to have only the active link "Community Supported (CSA) underlined and not Agriculture? And the same for all the other active links in this menu, all that have hyperlinks assigned to them.
A: You can write your links in the following way:
["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/callingfromthecoast.htm'>Eco-Friendly</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com'>Farmers Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],
["Media Categories","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Agriculture","", , , , , , , , ],
["||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/csa.htm'>Community Supported (CSA)</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||Movie Trailers","", , , , , , , , ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/farmboymovie.htm'>Farmboy</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/strongrootsfragilefarms.htm'>Strong Roots, Fragile Farms</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/therealdirtonfarmerjohn.htm'>The Real Dirt On Farmer John</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],
And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;}
Q: We are interested in using your dropdown menu code for our site but we do have a question.
When the dropdown menu code viewed in IE7 everything is fine but when I view it in opera or firefox browsers the menu bar is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
summary="Quaker Meadows Menu">
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table> is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
A: Try to set exact width for the dropdown menu code in "px". It helps to position themenu correctly in all browsers.
var menuWidth="500px";
Q: When I create a tree menu that can be expanded with the double arrows. I was wonder if there was a way to have the dhtml slide tree menu already expanded with I open the page the menu is on instead of having to expanded every time.
A: To expand items by default in Deluxe Tree you should add '+' symbolbefore item text.
Foe example:
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ],
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif", "default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ],
["||What's New","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Features","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
...
The following parameter expands all menu items by default:
var texpanded=1;
