Q: How do I get a second javascript popup window on the same page?
A: You should create another popup for the second link. Notice that you should use differentID's:
<a id="win2" href="javascript:;">
<img height="173" align="bottom" width="150" x-sas-useimageheight="" x-sas-useimagewidth="" src="gifs/vargas2.gif"/>
</a>
in Deluxe Tuner specify another parameters:
WinID = window2
(Use another winID than you have in your first data file if you don't want to
close 1-st popup window after you open the 2-nd one or use the same winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.)
new url
onClick = win2
Save this popup (use another name, for example: popup2.html).
Q: The problem with the old computer (by clicking an item the wrong subitem appears and the windows disappears not fast enough. I have tried your recommendation
var smShowPause=200;
var smHidePause=1000;
var transDuration=350;
var transDuration2=200;
A: Try to decrease these parameters, for example
var smShowPause=200;
var smHidePause=300;
Try that.
Q: I will build menu for several books’ Contents, each book is more than 100 lines and has links. I think if all the books’ contents in 1 *.JS file then it is TOO LOONG!!.
Can I break it down to 1 book for 1*.JS ? How?
A: You cannot divide your menuItems parameter.
You can only use one .js file for your menu parameters and the other.js file for your menuItems = [...];
But you can do it in two ways.
1) You can try to use several menus on the one page, for example:
param.js // file with menu parameters (all parameters before menuItems = [...];)
menu1.js // menuItems for "AC-DC", "ANLOG"
menu2.js // menuItems for "DIGITAL", "WinXP"
menu3.js // menuItems for "MS-Word", "MS-Excel"
In these menu files you should write
menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
Then you should install your menu in the following way
<script type="text/javascript" src="param.js"></script>
<table>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu3.js"></script>
But it will be easier to use vertical menu in such case
var isHorizontal=0;
var smColumns=1;
2) You can also try to add some code, see the attached example.
In the first file (@MY books (Multiple Col.js) I write menuItems for the first item "AC-DC".
Notice that you should delete comma at the end of the last item
var menuItems = [
["AC-DC","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","testlink.htm", , , , , , , , ],
...
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH02","", , , , , , , , ],
["||CH01","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
];
In the second file (@MY books (1.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["ANLOG","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book1","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book2","", , , , , , , , ],
["|@Book3","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
In the third file (@MY books (2.js) you should write
menuItems = menuItems.concat(
[
["DIGITAL","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1332","", , , , , , , , ],
["WinXP","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1333","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Word","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1334","", , , , , , , , ],
["MS-Excel","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Item 1335","", , , , , , , , ] // delete comma at the end of the last item
]
);
dm_init();
Notice that you should write dm_init(); function in the last file.
In the .html file you should write
...
<tr>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (Multiple Col.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@MY books (2.js"></script>
</tr>
I hope you understand me.
Q: I changed the parameter from
var dmObjectsCheck=0;
to
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
in the data.js file
but it didn't change it;
_____________________
I opened the dmenu_add.js file, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it?
_____________________
I went to your sample page and I would like to add the item widths into mydata.js file, but each item is a different width. Would it be correct for meto do this?...
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"],
];
Or will I have to make all the main menu items/graphics the same width?
A: You don't have to change your dmenu_add.js file.
Please, place this file in the folder where your menu iscreated in.
Yes, you can set itemWidth for each main item.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.
You should write, for example, so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [
["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],
["","", "data.files/demoCenter.gif", "data.files/demoCenter_mo.gif", , ,"1", , , ],
["","", "data.files/resources.gif", "data.files/resources_mo.gif", , ,"2", , , ],
["","support.htm", "data.files/support.gif", "data.files/support_mo.gif", , "_self","4", , , ],
["","", "data.files/company.gif", "data.files/company_mo.gif", , , , , , ],];
