Recent Questions Alternative A Treeview Using Javascript
Q: We want to create a hyperlink (lets say google.com) to the item (eg. Industry,International Airlines etc) and display it in the dataframe.
For eg On clicking the 'International Airlines', the hyperlinked content should be displayed on the DataFrame along with expanding the navigation items. Right now it just expands the navigation , but the link doesn't work.
The hyperlink works fine for the subitems. We want to do the same for the main items as well.
A: You can write your top items in the following way:
["<a href='http://google.com' target='DataFrame' style='color: #000; text-decoration: none;'>International Airlines</a>","", "", "", "", "","DataFrame", "", "", ],
Q: I’ve tried every configuration available—absolute and relativepositioning and so on. I can’t get the menus to display correctly.
I have to offset the topDX by -150 and so on just to fudge it into a CLOSE position…it certainly doesn’t mirror the preview window
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">
Q: We recently bought your product.
We are developing in ASP.NET (VB) and we have a problem making you deluxe menu dynamic to suit our needs. We are using the JavaScript Tree Menu.
The problem is each time a page with dhtml nav loads, we want to be able to generate the menuItems variable to reflect the options the individual user has, so it can't be hard coded into data.js it MUST be provided by an aspx file and attached somehow. I can't work out how to attach the variable (even a static one) as a separate file, so if you can do it with a static one, we can extend it to a dynamic one later.
For example the JS in the data.js file we want the MenuItem dimension you be loaded in a seperate file, some kind of include.
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About","about.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact","contact.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Help","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|HowTo Register","RegHelp.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|FAQ","FAQ.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dos 'n' Don'ts","DoDont.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Workshop","workshop.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["My Run","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","aboutmyrun.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["|About","aboutmetro.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Distribution","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|About","DistribAbout.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Status","DistribStatus.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["|View Sites","DistribSites.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|TIC Budget","", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Hope this makes sense.
A: You can move
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
dhtml nav code from your data file to your page (template) directly:
<script>
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
Q: I have set up a menu that uses one 'data.js' file.
However, on ONE page, the menu needs to have three additional items, with a different style.
Is there a way to add the three items with a different style via javascript on that one page?
I think I know how to handle the styles, but I'm unsure how to add the three new items without using two differerent 'data.js' files- which is how I have it set up for the time being. You may want to visit the site to see what I mean.
A: You can use dm_ext_addItem() function to add items.
Please, see how you should write this function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
< SCRIPT src="Welcome to Catawba Animal Clinic, P_A_files/data.js" type=text/javascript> </SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Request Form","request.htm", , , , "_self", "0", "-1", , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Boarding Policies","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Express Checkout Info","", , , , , "0", , , ]);</script>
You should upload dmenu_dyn.js file on your server.
In your data.js file you should add need Individual Item Styles.
