Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • 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: I have a question, How can I open a new window of a specific dimension?
I Know how to use the “_blank” property to open a new window. But then how can I indicate the size of the new Window?

Can you please help me?


A: You should use a Javascript code with a link field so:

["Text", "javascript:window.open('../Help/Text_Index.htm', 'Help', 'height=450,width=600,scrollbars');"]

Try that.


Q: Now it works fine in Firefox and mostly in IE.... Only problem... In IE...

When the page with dhtml tab menu first loads ... It does not load the content of the first DIV....
It's fine in Firefox...now IE just does not load the first div... I've tried added a JS function to set to visible the first DIV onLoad...but that does not work either...

Is there anyway to hard-code in ...to set the first DIV to visible?

A: I've just checked your website. Your dhtml tab menu work correctly.

You should check that you use correct value of
  var bselectedItem=1;
parameter.

That is mean that second item in menuItems array will be highlighted.
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //0
["About","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //1
["FAQs","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //2
["Before & Afters","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //3
["Pre/Post Care","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //4
["Special Offers","javascript:location.href = '../specials/index.htm'", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //5

Now you have also:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>

<td align=center valign=top>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/templates/tabs-opera.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>

I think that it is not correct. You should write:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>

<td align=center valign=top>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>



Q: Hello. We need some tech support regarding our deluxe menu.

All of our pages that have the menu code on them are suddenly giving status bar errors that say: "Done, but with errors on page"

When pulling up the error details, the dialog says:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

On pages that do not have the menu at all, we're not getting the error.


A: Now you have such code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript">
<!--

  var dmWorkPath = "menu/";

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
  var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

So, your menu cannot find   var dmWorkPath = "menu/"; parameter on yourpage.

Try to write your code in the following way:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menu/";</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></SCRIPT>

Q: I was wondering if there is a way to disable links in the dhtml context menu on a page.


A: To disable your menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:

  var itemTarget="_";

Or you can disable items individually.

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
 ["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:

dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);
