Recent Questions Tree Menu With Xml Data Source
Q: The only remaining problem I see is that the dhtml popup menu appears in slightly
different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.
Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon?
I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.
A: See dm_popup() function parameters:
return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place.
In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
Q: Do you by chance have the dhtml menu samples working with XML?
A: Unfortunately we don't have working example.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- JavaScript Tree Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu samples by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.htmlQ: I downloaded "DeLuxe Menu" and try to make a menu dynamic. I was having the impression, that every item could have it's own color. But nowhere in de program could I find how this had to be done. Every time I changed the color, weather it was under Appearance or Item Appearance, the color of the whole menu was changed.
Before I decide to buy your product, I need to know if separate coloring for the menu dynamic is possible.
A: You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE","showByClick=0"],//style1
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
];

A: You should use the following parameter (Deluxe Tuner->Positioning):
