Recent Questions Prototype Based Tree Menu
Q: Looking at the tab menu code below, am I right in guessing what the first 6 parameters are, and can you tell me what the last 3 are forplease?
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Title","...link.asp", "iconNormal", "iconMouseOver","iconSelected", "tootip", "?", "?", "?", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
A: var bmenuItems = [
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
...
];
so it's a item_style, the last two are reserved and not used.

Q: For example if you use the Growing Goodness menu located under Media Categories the first category is Agriculture w/ a sub category "Community Supported (CSA)" it is the sub category that is an active link. Is it possible to have only the active link "Community Supported (CSA) underlined and not Agriculture? And the same for all the other active links in this menu, all that have hyperlinks assigned to them.
A: You can write your links in the following way:
["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/callingfromthecoast.htm'>Eco-Friendly</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com'>Farmers Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],
["Media Categories","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Agriculture","", , , , , , , , ],
["||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/csa.htm'>Community Supported (CSA)</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||Movie Trailers","", , , , , , , , ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/farmboymovie.htm'>Farmboy</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/strongrootsfragilefarms.htm'>Strong Roots, Fragile Farms</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],
["|||<a class='menu' href='http://growinggoodness.com/therealdirtonfarmerjohn.htm'>The Real Dirt On Farmer John</a>","", , , , "_self", , ,, ],
And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;}
Q: We have been evaluating your menu control.
But we are not able to use PNGFix javascript which is used for transparent PNG image in our down navigation bar. Your menu is transparent but it goes one layes behind. It should come on top of all with transparecy.
Your reply could help us make a buying decision.
A: Unfortunately it is really so. PNGFix javascript won't work.
We'll try to add feature to use transparent PNG images in the next version of JavaScript Tree Menu.
