Recent Questions Simple Tree Menu In Jquery
Q: When I create a tree menu that can be expanded with the double arrows. I was wonder if there was a way to have the dhtml slide tree menu already expanded with I open the page the menu is on instead of having to expanded every time.
A: To expand items by default in Javascript/DHTML Tree you should add '+' symbolbefore item text.
Foe example:
["+Javascript/DHTML Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ],
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif", "default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ],
["||What's New","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Features","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
...
The following parameter expands all menu items by default:
var texpanded=1;
Q: If I wanted to change the graphics at a later date in tab menu javascript (main top tabs, subtabs, etc.), how would I do that?
A: In that case you should open images I'm using for top tabs in any graph editor and changethem.
back.gif
back_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the last tabs in the top menu(instead of the 1-st 6 items)
sep_top.gif // separator for the top items
top1.gif
top1_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 1-st tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
By the way to apply hint for this item you should write:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "This hint appears when you hover over the 1-st item", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
top2.gif
top2_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 2-nd tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>PAIN</font><br>Identified<br>(Problems)","", "", "", "", "", "6", "", "", "", "", ],
and so on...
For the subtabs I'm use images for arrows only:
var arrowWidthSub=8;
var arrowHeightSub=8;
var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrow.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrow_o.gif"]
Q: Another problem I've found with v3.1 is that the top X value of the javascript floating menu is not used once you start scrolling a page.
A: Yes, we've made some changes in javascript floating menu feature in the new version.
Try to set
var floatable=2;
Q: I wanted to know how to hide/ disable a menu item for a particular user/roleid in dreamweaver dhtml menu..
A: You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable()
{
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
