Collapse menu and expand and hyperlinking on click

[kevdog98]

Hi,

I can not get the collapse menu to allow me to use the showmen and the url calls at the same time. It works calling both in the regular DHTML menu but not in the tree menu. I have trired calling both, and it breaks the code. I have also tried to use the onfunction to call a url but that breaks it also. Is there away to make it do to thinks onclick? Please let me know, I can not think of a way. Any ideas? I really need to figure this one out as my bosses really want it to work this way.

P.S. Can you delete all my other posts as I have solved those issues. I can not delete my posts.


Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

After a lot of searching here I found an example of openbranchby name thing.

In all that I found it was put on the page, I have no idea if you can put it in the data file.

So, on each page you'd add this at the bottom

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
           drawMenus();  
           openBranchByName("Adults");
          </script>

In this case I put in the Adults as the branch name but you'd put in the correct name to correspond with whatever branch should be opened.

Just as a suggestion, so that it is obvious about the opened branch, you might put in a different offcolor for the tree submenus from the sub3Style. As an example try this, though you may not like the color I tried to find one that was real visible but not harsh

sub3Style.offcolor="#d9ebf0";

Thanks for the reply, but I have played around with the openbranchbyname and I don't think it will achieve what I need to do. What I need to do is have a tree menu expand and have a url launched both on click. Like a have tried to do here:

Code: Select all

aI("text=<b>Ministries</b>;url=ministries.asp?id=38;");
aI("text=<b>Adults</b>;showmenu=Adults;type=tree;"); 
aI("text=<b>Young Adults</b>;url=ministries.asp?id=362;"); 
aI("text=<b>University Students</b>;url=ministries.asp?id=408;"); 
aI("text=<b>Jr.& Sr. High</b>;url=ministries.asp?id=410;"); 
aI("text=<b>Children & Families</b>;showmenu=CFM;type=tree;url=ministries.asp?id=364;"); 
aI("text=<b>Music</b>;showmenu=Music;type=tree;");
} 

But when I try to add the showmenu and url to the Children & Families menu item it messes up the code the page. You can see what I mean here http://205.158.143.230/ministries.asp?id=38


Here is they full code of my collapse_data.js file:

Code: Select all

var mm_rollOffText; 
var mm_rollItem; 

function mm_onText(rollOnText) 
{ 
  mm_rollItem = _itemRef; 
  mm_rollOffText = _mi[mm_rollItem][1]; 
  _mi[mm_rollItem][1] = rollOnText; 
  BDMenu(_mi[mm_rollItem][0]); 
  itemOn(mm_rollItem); 
} 

function mm_offText() 
{ 
  _mi[mm_rollItem][1] = mm_rollOffText; 
  BDMenu(_mi[mm_rollItem][0]); 
  itemOff(mm_rollItem); 
}

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Kevin,

It's the openmenusbyurl.js and using the openbranchbyname together that is causing the top menu to disappear, I think. At least when I removed the openmenusbyurl and tested the top menu still shows and the treemenu branch was open. However, I don't know what's causing the image shift in the treemenu. I'll see what I can find out.

EDIT: I can't find any place that you have openbranchbyname on that page. But, in my test it works if I remove the openmenusbyurl.js module and add the openBranchByName on the destination test page.

Ok, I think I can make the openbranchbyname work if we can figure out why it buts the arrow on the left for those pages, instead of the right like it should.

Thanks for all your help,

Yes, it will work as I said, after removing the openmenusbyurl.js module on the page where you're going. Change your main menu Adults aI to the following

Code: Select all

aI("text=<b>Adults</b>;showmenu=Adults;url=ministries.asp?id=316;type=tree;"); 

Remove the following aI from the Adults submenu.

Code: Select all

aI("text=Adults;url=ministries.asp?id=316;"); 

Then on that Adults page [id=316] remove the openmenusbyurl.js module and put this at the bottom just before the ending body tag

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
           drawMenus();  
           openBranchByName("Adults");
          </script>

Save it and test. It worked fine for me except for the pageimage problem which I have reported.

I have no idea about the openBranchByName and how to use it, I got the script calls from a few posts where they had used it and all of those had it on the page. As I said, I have no idea if you can put it in the data file somehow.

Thanks, I already had made the changes you detailed and they work great! Thanks a lot! Just let me know when you get an answer about the pageimage thing.



Thanks.
