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.

Q: Is there any way to have a floating menu float in relation to the centre of the screen (not the left of the screen).  I have a centre based website. When I use the floating menu and view the site on different screen sizes, the floating menu appears in different places on the x scale. For example,  I would like it 20 percent from the edge of my centre based webpage, not 20 percent from the left of the screen.  I want the menu to appear on the same horizontal place on my webpage (which is centre based)


A: No unfortunately it is not possible to write

  var posX="50% - 20";

You should adjust your coordinates to center the menu with absoluteposition.


Q: I have configured the Deluxe Tabs menu for the purpose that this menu will form the basis of a website's navigation, once clicked a tab it will take you to the appropriate page.

However one problem I have faced is that menu, regardless of current webpage will display the same active/ selected menu item, having looked in the menu parameters I know that the following set the positions of the selected tab :

*   var bselectedItem=0;
*   var bselectedSmItem=0;

Is there anyway of selecting the dhtml tab menu index location according to what webpage you are on? On your website it shows an example of a PHP server-side script, however is there an example of this in ASP ?

A: No, unfortunately we don't have such examples in ASP.

Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab also.

You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
  var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>


Q: Do you by chance have the dhtml menu samples working with XML?

A: Unfortunately we don't have working example.

You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu samples by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>

The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I was adding a title to the page containing the Turner Delux drop down menu and now the  the menu is gone and I cannot recover it.   

Please tell me in very plan instructions how to load the Mneu on to a blank Front Page web page.


A: See, you should do the following things.

1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
2. Export the menu into html file "File/Export/To HTML".
3. Copy generated folder with all engine .js files and images
("deluxe-menu.files/" by default) and data-deluxe-menu.js (by default) into the same folder with you index.html page (created inFrontPage).
4. Now you should add several rows of code into your index.html file.
You can do it in FrontPage (open HTML source of the page and edit it)or in any text editor. Open your index.html page and edit it.
Notice that you'll have errors in the Preview. But you won't get errors if you open this page in the browser.
5. Add the following code in the tag:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>

and
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
in the place where you want to have the menu.
You can paste it in <table>, <div> tags. For example.

<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
6. Save your index.html page and open it in any browser.
