Recent Questions Html Javascript Navigation Show Location Tree
Q: Irene, thank you. I am working on seeing what you did and trying to get it to work on my computer. I keep getting ActiveX blocking errors when open page with the drop down menu source code on my computer. Is this something I can control from within the html code? Or is this something each user is going to have to change setting(s) in their IE Internet Options?
p.s., I had the code on the page twice cuz was just trying to get something... anything.... to work. I deleted the 2nd set which was further down on the page. I'm trying to get the menus to appear in the grey band just below the blue heading section but prior to the white text description section. And, once I get the menus to work, the navigation bar on left will be deleted. Thank you so much for your patience and help!
A: You can get the following message
"To help protect your security in IE ..."
on your local machine only. You won't have such message when you openyour website via Internet.
If you don't want to see this message you should do the followingthings:
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
Close Internet Explorer and open it once again.
There will be no such message any more.
Q: We just downloaded the trial versions to evaluate and I noticed something a little odd. When I build a menu that will not have icons next to the links, I don't see a way the I can move the test further tothe left inside the menu.
Notice how the links within the menu box are almost centered? Is there anyway to move those items further to the left?
A: Try to set the following parameter.
var tlevelDX=0;
You cannot move it closer to the left side.
Q: I can’t highlight the selected menu item of the current page in the javascript flyout menu?
A: Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page.
That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
You can also set the correct:
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: I want to use single css drop down menu bar for each page without applying HTML Code for each page separatly.I mean to use CSS Menu as per our .JS Menu.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible with css menu.
On each page you should call css file with styles:
<link href="menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and add code for the menu on each page in the place where you want to have a menu, forexample:
<ul class="cssMenu cssMenum">
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.html">Home</a></li>
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="#"><span><img class="def" src="default.files/icon1.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon1o.gif">Product Info</span>
<![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class=" cssMenum">
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.html"><img class="def" src="default.files/icon2.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon2o.gif">Features</a></li>
</ul>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->lt;/li>
<li class=" cssMenui"><a class=" cssMenui" href="testlink.htm">
<img class="def" src="default.files/icon1.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="default.files/icon1o.gif">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
You can also try to use frames.
Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
