Q:
I downloaded the free trial version and so far it looks like we
can do everything. I have a couple questions:
the designer wants it so that when any of the submenu choice
are selected, the main main menu in java item should be highlighted when the
submenu page is displayed (kind of a breadcrumb). So, is there any
way to change the background image of one of the main menu items
after the menu loads? I haven't tried running my main menu in java in a webpage
yet so I'm not sure if you generate a separate CSS file or put all
of the settings into a STYLE= attribute of each tag.
A:
The main menu in java has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for
example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also 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.
