Q: I am testing a trial version of your Deluxe Tuner software.
I cannot configure the actual links or link names?
How do I do this?
A: You can assign link for each item.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner. In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items.
Q: Another glitch is that the first item on the sidemenu stays dark blue -
even when the mouse is off of it.
A: In your code now you have:
var pressedItem=0;
Please, set this parameter in the data.js file:
var pressedItem=-2;
Q: I'm trying to set the frame parameters to frame name body. I have tried seven different text items: body, _body, frame name=body, framename=body, "framename=body", the relative URL, and the exact URL in the titemTarget parameter (common parameters). Nothing seems to work. It always sets the target to a new window. What text do I need to enter for the default parameter to be the body frame target?
Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus? There doesn't seem to be a halfway point. Either all the menus are open, or all closed. If I set the default to hidden, it is non-functional. If I set it to expanded, that's not what I'm looking for either.
The menu looks good; other than these two problems it is functioning properly.
A: Please, check the following parameter:
var titemTarget="framename";
You can also set item target for each item
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
Try that.
> Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus?
You want to expand only the main items when you load your page?
If it is so you can set expanded items by default.
If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ], // this item is expanded by default
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif",
"default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ], // this subitem is not expanded by default
Q: Is there any luck with getting your popup menusto work with the dynamic drive script..?
A: Unfortunately we don't work with dynamic drive script.
But I suppose that you can use it with Deluxe Menu without any problems.
But in that case you should move menuItems and dm_init(); function from your data file tothe html page directly.
For example delete the following code from your data file
var menuItems = [
["Aston Martin Page","javascript:ajaxpage('ajaxfiles/external3.htm', 'rightcolumn');\"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
and paste it in SCRIPT tags on your html page in the place where you want to have a menu:
...
<div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Aston Martin Page","javascript:ajaxpage('ajaxfiles/external3.htm', 'rightcolumn');\"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>
</div>
