Recent Questions Javascript Tree Menu
Q: We are registered users of the JavaScript Tree Menu software. Today I tried to use the Javascript API, but there is something I do not understand and want to ask for support.
First, I set up a very simple menu:
var menuItems=[
['Menu 1'],
['|Submenu 1'],
['Menu 2'],
['|Submenu 2'],
];
This menu is built via dm_init().
Then, I inspect the menu (in Firebug):
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
Ok, there are three submenus. Now I am going to delete one of them:
>>> dm_ext_deleteItem(0, 0, 1)
"Menu 2" disappears on the screen, this works as expected. But now when I re-inspect the menu using the API, I find that the API reports exactly the same as before:
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
So, it seems the report function continues to know about the original menu structure and reflects it. Am I using the API in a wrong way?
The problem I want to solve is to remove the entire menu dinamico dhtml, in order to rebuild it dynamically. Because I did not see a function aimed to this functionality, my plan was to delete all main menu entries subsequently until the main menu inspector no longer reports an entry. Is there (a better) way to achieve this?
A: Unfortunately, dm_ext_deleteItem() only change visibility of theseitems.
It doesn't delete them completely.
We'll try to fix it in the next versions of JavaScript Tree Menu.
Q: I can not figure out how to fix the menu from going off the page inMozilla by using html code. I don't know where to put the code. I would likeit to be flush right.
A: Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
Q: I am having a lot of trouble trying to get the menu to work properly. I want to make sure that I get it working before I make the licesning purchase.
The menu is to be CSS based but while I have the main menu somewhat in location, none of the settings are correct. Can you help?
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).
To get the value you should move .css style into style="POSITION: relative;" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css
Try to write so:
<DIV id=if-navbar style="POSITION: relative;">
Q: I can't find anywhere in your documentation that states where I can call this function onclick other than in the menu web page target.
A: You can use onclick event in the following way:
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='getLink(\'/Admin/Sales/Customers/Customers.asp\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
