Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.
Q: Is it possible to have your menu mouseover call one of my functions? I need to change some text on the screen based on which menu itemis highlighted.
A:Each menu items can include any html code. So, you can include your own objects with onmouseover event, forexample:
var menuItems = [ ["<div onmouseover='yourFunc()'>item text</div>"] ];
Where yourFunc() is Javascript function.

Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.
A: How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1. 1.1 For Windows users a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0 (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0 http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip). b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/Open… c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor. b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are: - dmenu.js - dmenu4.js - dmenu_add.js - dmenu_dyn.js - dmenu_key.js - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00) - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: I have been using the DHTML Menu program for years and they are working good.
But I found an office where the javascript tree menu example just simply does'nt appear.
I am curious about it, why just in that office the Menu is not working.
I can note than other javascript routines I put on my page are not working neither.
Can you give me some idea of what can I check on the computers? Something on the explorer? (IE6) , or a kind of program?
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled. It means that no one JavaScript element can be run. You should to enable JavaScript in IE: Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code. Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12. To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application. You can find this GUI in the trial package. Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
