Q: we want to be able to specify a certain height (or number of items) for the main menu after which a new column is created.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a number of items after which a new column is created.
But you can use blank items and create Individual Style for theseitems.
For example:
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 42","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 44","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I am currently tasked with creating a large intra-type net for our company. ( knowledge base, FAQ etc. for internal use only ).
At this time I am making plain text or table based menus and getting tired of having to add the drop menus to EVERY page individually in our little intra-web. I would like to purchase software that makes groovy looking menus, but also get the information needed to have them appear on ALL pages after editing the menu once if you know what I mean.
Unfortunately my web authoring experience is best suited to circa-1996 web pages I can hash out in notepad in my sleep. However, I have been told in order to do what I am doing I need to use CSS or styles or cascading stylesheets and not sure if your software will do that.
If I purchase this software and whip up a neat little menu, would you be able to send me information on how to include it in a css as I described above? I would essentially need to know the code or commands to have it appear in all of the pages I create, once I make the menu file. If that is something you can assist me with, I can purchase this right away.
A: JavaScript Tree Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.
If you don't want to create your drop menus on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
Q: I'm evaluating a copy of deluxe-tree and have a question about long items. I need to be able to either automatically wrap the line to fit the width given in the tmenuWidth variable or insert line breaks as I see fit.
At the moment I have found that I can insert the <br> tag to force a line to break but it messes up the space after the menu, if I have several one after the other then they will sit close together. If I add a
at the beginning of the menu entry then the space before is bigger than the default.
Is there any easy way around this?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var tnoWrap=0;
Q: It's simply not saving the state. Clicking the items on the menu is inconsistent. Sometimes it saves sometimes not.
It seems to be a lot worse in this area.
A: See, Tree Menu saves it's state using cookies.
But it can't re-save the same cookie file from different folders.
For example, if the tree from "website/page.html" saves it's state,the menu from "website/content2/page.html" can't read this state andit creates it's own state. The problem is that it's a standardfeature of browsers and Javascript can't control that.
