Text Switch Menu

F32 · 18-01-2007, 08:18 PM

Is is possible to use a switch menu, but instead of using images, you can use text?

Yes. Just change the image tags into text tags...

Dont all switch menu's use text anyway o.0

I don't get what you're saying.

Code:

<img src="img.PNG" onclick="SwitchMenu('sub1')" width="129" height="17">
    <span class="submenu" id="sub1"><font size="1" face="Verdana">

Change to what?

Take out the image code and add a text tag (i dunno???) instead...

If that isnt right i cannot remember but i did it once in dreamweaver using the one of DD, there is a text based one on there somewhere?

Dreamweavers Auto-Coding sucks.

Use this code:

Code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
.menutitle{
cursor:pointer;
margin-bottom: 5px;
background-color:#ffffff;
color:#000000;
width:140px;
padding:2px;
font-style:verdana;
text-align:left;
font-weight:bold;
/*/*/border:0px solid #000000;/* */
}

.submenu{
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

var persistmenu="yes" //"yes" or "no". Make sure each SPAN content contains an incrementing ID starting at 1 (id="sub1", id="sub2", etc)
var persisttype="sitewide" //enter "sitewide" for menu to persist across site, "local" for this page only

if (document.getElementById){
document.write('<style type="text/css">\n')
document.write('.submenu{display: none;}\n')
document.write('</style>\n')
}

function SwitchMenu(obj){
	if(document.getElementById){
	var el = document.getElementById(obj);
	var ar = document.getElementById("masterdiv").getElementsByTagName("span");
		if(el.style.display != "block"){
			for (var i=0; i<ar.length; i++){
				if (ar[i].className=="submenu")
				ar[i].style.display = "none";
			}
			el.style.display = "block";
		}else{
			el.style.display = "none";
		}
	}
}

function get_cookie(Name) { 
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { 
offset += search.length
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function onloadfunction(){
if (persistmenu=="yes"){
var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
var cookievalue=get_cookie(cookiename)
if (cookievalue!="")
document.getElementById(cookievalue).style.display="block"
}
}

function savemenustate(){
var inc=1, blockid=""
while (document.getElementById("sub"+inc)){
if (document.getElementById("sub"+inc).style.display=="block"){
blockid="sub"+inc
break
}
inc++
}
var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
var cookievalue=(persisttype=="sitewide")? blockid+";path=/" : blockid
document.cookie=cookiename+"="+cookievalue
}

if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", onloadfunction, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", onloadfunction)
else if (document.getElementById)
window.onload=onloadfunction

if (persistmenu=="yes" && document.getElementById)
window.onunload=savemenustate

What script are you useing? (post the whole lot)

It would make it signifcantly easyer to tell you what needs to be changed o.0

**Recursion** · 18-01-2007, 09:43 PM

I think Cняιѕ was right...

It looks familiar.

F32 · 18-01-2007, 09:49 PM

Ahhh,

I'll try that, that's just taken out the image and inserted font tags.

Worked a treat, thanks Chris.

Common Sense really.
