dhtmlxmenu - how to show submenu arrows?

How can I get the arrows from the skin file to display when the item contains a submenu? Is there a setting I need to activate? Or is this based in my external xml file?



Cheers,

Hello,


the path to images is defined in the css file. For example in case of dhx_blue skin (dhmtlxmenu_dhx_blue.gif):


div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_ArrowUp div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_Arrow {
background-image: url("…/imgs/dhxmenu_dhx_blue/dhtmlxmenu_arrow_up.gif");
}
div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_ArrowUp_Over div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_Arrow {
background-image: url("…/imgs/dhxmenu_dhx_blue/dhtmlxmenu_arrow_up_over.gif");
}
div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_ArrowUp_Disabled div.dhtmlxMenu_dhx_blue_SubLevelArea_Arrow {
background-image: url("…/imgs/dhxmenu_dhx_blue/dhtmlxmenu_arrow_up_dis.gif");
}

Thanks Alex, unfortunately the drop down arrows still don’t seem to be appearing, there isn’t even a broken image appearing, just simply not at all. I can get the icons on the left to appear no problem, but not the submenu arrows on the right. Is there a setting somewhere to enable them?

Please, take a look at the attached sample. Possibly it’ll allow to resolve the issue.


If the problem still occurs, please provide the sample where we will have an opportunity to re-create it

Ah OK, I think I see where the problem lies now.

The arrows work fine in the submenus, but how do I get them to appear in the top level buttons of the menu bar? For example, an arrow which points downwards to denote that there is a drop down menu within the top level item.

Thanks for your help so far!

Menu doesn’t support arrows for top-level items.


You can try to add the necessary image with the item text as html:

Ah OK, no worries.

Thanks for your help Alex :slight_smile:
