Recent Questions Javascript Treeview Menu
Q: I just discovered your product and I think it is fabulous! I would like to buy it, but have one issue which is strange:
I have a list of 12 items, each with a submenu that is loaded using the ajax technology. The submenues are loaded correctly for the first 8 items, but not for the last 4 items. I can switch items around, always the first 8 only get loaded. Is there a limitation to 8 items?
A: No, there is no such limitation.
Please, check the following parameter:
var dmAJAXCount=0;
That variable set the maximal number of submenus that will be loadedfrom server on your page.
Q: Hi - I've turned on tsavestate which works, but it acts erratically. I have my javascript cascade menu .js file in a /js folder, and the site has multiple directories, but all the pages in all directories use the same menu SSI include, which uses the same deluxemenu code in the common /js folder. I read your KB article about states, cookies and multiple folders, but it is confusing... does it actually save state per directory, versus per the entire domain? I only have one menu for the entire site.. just would like it to save state correctly for all pages in all folders that include that javascript cascade menu.
A: It's a feature of the browser. It creates different cookies for eachsubdirectory.The only way is to place all your pages in the one directory.
Q: Does you tree menu javascript support right-to-left layout?
That is to say it opens the branches/submenus from the right to left.
A: Yes it is possible to create a menu for right-to-left languages with Javascript/DHTML Tree in the same way as in standard htmlcode.
Please, set <HTML dir="rtl">. You should set the following parameters:
var titemAlign="right";
var ticonAlign="right";
var texpandBtnAlign="right";
JavaScript Tree Menu support right-to-left languages.
In JavaScript Tree Menu you can set the following parameter:
var dmRTL = 1;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.
Q: I activated option "state saving" but I think there's a problem;
when I open the website and click on an item of the menu, the pressed item becomes red
(up to now it's ok), but if I have topress F5 on the keyboard or press on the refresh button
to refresh the web page, the pressed item loses its color red.
I'd like the pressed item in the dhtml expand menu to maintain its color after the refresh command.
How can I solve this problem?
A: Tree Menu 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 apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
