Recent Questions Text Tree Menu

Q: My question is how can I change the size and color of the font for the
main items in the simple dhtml menu, not the drop downs?


A: You can use Individual Item Styles in that case:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html

Set the style you need for subitems:

  var fontStyle=["normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma","normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"];

Set the style you need for main items:

  var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle='bold 12px Arial','bold 12px Arial'"], // style 0
];

Assign this style for main items:

  var menuItems = [
["Scenic album","scenic-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
 ["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 9","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],>  ["|Item 10","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], ["Floral album","floral-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Southwest album","southwest-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Wildlife album","wildlife-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
];

Q: I created a custom error page for a site, but the menu would not display.

I found that this was due to the erroneous "current directory" in the bad link test, for a non-existent directory.

which is: level2/level3/

I changed the script code from:
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="DMworkfiles/dmenu.js"></script>

to:

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

adding the "/" before "DMworkfiles/dmenu.js" source reference allowed the .js file to be found in the root directory and the menu would display.

The problem is that the little menu "expansion" arrow .gif cannot be found in the "current working directory" of level2/level3/. just little "blanks" show.

I tried changing:
  var dmWorkPath = "DMworkfiles/";

to:
  var dmWorkPath = "/DMworkfiles/";

but that did not enable the display of the arrows.

I also had to prefix all of the links in the menu with a "/" to indicate the root directory because of the "current directory" for the bad page.

I hope I have explained the problem sufficiently.
What am I doing wrong or missing here?


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters

Q: I make an example of html menu, but when i use it with frameset then the menu not show completly.

Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?


A: To initialize the cross frame menu you should call dm_initFrame() function
instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:

dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);

framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

You will find additioanal info about cross frame menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html

Q: Do I need to replace the menudir/ in the code with the name of the folder I have placed the .js files?


A: Yes, you should change the name of the folder.

If you have, for example such file structure:

deluxe-menu_files/
    dmenu.js
    data.js
images/
html_pages/
    page1.html
    page2.html

index.html

So, you should install your menu in the following way:
<head>
<!-- JavaScript Tree 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>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/data.js"></script>
</body>
