data.js
Data for the menu are stored in a separate .js-file (data.js by default).
You can rename this file as you wish.
This file contains:
1. Menu parameters.
2. Items and styles.
3. Function for a menu initialization (dm_init()).
See sample code.
All content from data.js file can be placed directly into html page within <script></script> tags.
It can be helpful when you generate menu parameters and items from database (e.g. mySQL) using a server-side script (PHP, ASP, VB, etc.).
Use Deluxe Tuner application to create and save such files for your menus.
dmenu_dyn.js
The dmenu_dyn.js file is the module with Javascript functions of the menu.
These functions allow you to change menu parameters and its components "on the fly" without page reloading.
Using these functions you can:
- add/delete submenus;
- add/delete/show/hide menu items;
- change parameters and appearance of items;
- get different information about components of the menu;
- set a pressed item;
- etc.
To enable these Javascript functions set the following menu parameter:
var dynamic = 1;
dmenu_key.js
The dmenu_key.js file is the module with the keystrokes support.
You can move along the menu and open menu links using a keyboard.
To activate the keyboard support for the menu set the following parameter:
var keystrokes = 1;
To activate the menu or switch to next menu on the page use Ctrl + F2 keys combination (by default).
To move along the menu use arrow keys.
To activate an item link use Enter key.
To deactivate the menu use Esc key.
Notice
The menu uses document.onKeyDown event to capture keyboard events.
If you don't want to use this event or another function is assigned to this event already -
call dm_ext_keystrokes(event) function to activate the keystrokes support.
