Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • Use a mouse to move a menu as a usual window. Also you can create the menu where each submenu can be "separated" from the menu (MS Office toolbar-like mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.
  • There can be multilevel menus - create as many rows of the menu as necessary. Any submenu in its turn can include different number of columns.

Recent Questions

Q: I installed licensed files, entered the key and now the menu appears broken.
You will see under the "Contact Us" image there is a gray line that makes it look broken. I am using IE 6.0.
The line doesn't appear in Firefox. What solution is there to this?

A: The line which you can see on your website is a shadow. You can see it only in IE.

Please see menu parameters, they contains:
  var shadowLen=3;

Try to write so:
  var shadowLen=0;
  var shadowColor="#777777";
  var shadowTop=1;


Q: Is it possible that a menuitem of the js dropdown menu stays highlighted after clicking and loading the new html site?


A: 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 would like to separate each main menu item in a dhtml menu bar with a dotted line graphic.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems, for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];



Q: I am trying to use the Drop Down Menu in a perl script. I would like to know if this is possible?


A: You can use javascript menu in a perl script. Please, see the examplebelow.
------------------ begin program
#!/usr/bin/perl
#!c:\perl\bin\perl

use CGI; # CGI library
use DBI; # Database library
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print '<head>
