Q: What I would like to see is the ability to have a base site navigation menu with all the definitional entries (size, locations, icons, etc.) defined but all the menuitems be called from an Ajax file.
A: You cannot use ajax submenus for the top items.
But you can use several .js file, for example:
params.js //file with all menu parameters (size, locations, icons, etc.)
all code before
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
data_ajax1.js //data files for ajax submenus
data_ajax2.js
data_ajax3.js
...
main_data.js - data file with the following code:
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
You can also place this code into your html page directly (in the place where you want tohave a menu):
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax1.js", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax2.js", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax3.js", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "data_ajax4.js", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
Q: How to modify data.js in deluxe menu to change the font color if the user click on css pull down menu.
Expl. If the user click on 'Webdesign' and then on 'Thema Webdesign' the color dosn't change to #333. So the user don't now, where is it. Please test it on www.media-design.ch. Thank!
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = <?php echo $selitem; ?>;
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
You should define selitem using server side script.
Q: Obviously your menus are NOT cross browser usable, as you can e.g. Padding does not work in opera, while it works in IE.
When will there be an update on that bug?
A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try also to specify unitsin "px":
var menuWidth="500px";
var menuHeight="20px";
var smWidth="116px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
Q: I am evaluating your fine menu builder application.
Please let me know the following:
a) How could I call a script instead of specifying a link?
["|Product A","http://dhtml-menu.com","","","",,"0",],
b) If the above is possible, please let me know how, in the called script, I could know where the call to the script come from.
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
