javascript+xml实现二级下拉菜单,不会被任何标签或元素遮住

dn001

一、简单说明

该菜单最大的优点是可以跨过网页上任何标签,甚至是框架,
(一般的菜单会被select,object,flash等挡住)
所以如果你有这方面的需要,
那么这个菜单是个很好的选择。

总体而言,它有如下特性:
(1)菜单的样式和数据都是通过xml配置
(2)菜单的样式可以随心所欲修改,如:

<base>
<background-color>#DDDDDD</background-color>
<background-image>url(menu_bg.jpg)</background-image>
<font-size>10pt</font-size>
<color>#000099</color>
<width>100%</width>
<height>32</height>
<text-align>center</text-align>
<cursor>default</cursor>
</base>


只要节点名称符合各自标签(table,tr,td之一)的style attribute即可。

(3)主菜单项之间可以设置分割图片,
子菜单项可以设置分割线的样式。

(4)所有图片都由css控制,避免路径问题。

(5)可以设置虚拟目录的别名,为菜单链接使用绝对路径带来方便,如:

<context>
<path>hdsa</path>
</context>


设置该值后,用户只需根据文件的目录结构写好菜单,而不必担心虚拟目录的问题。

由于菜单使用了window.createPopup(),
所以它被限制在IE5.5以上,
而且子菜单如果是新开窗口,会被拦截。
注:用window.createPopup()制作菜单受到过前人的启发

二、实现的两个脚本可以写在一个文件中:

(1)处理Popup窗口的脚本

//------------------ 下面一些函数用来处理弹出窗口; ------------------ //
var pops = new Array(); // 用来存储Popup窗口家族的数组
function CreatePopup(degree)
{
if (degree < 0);// 层数不能小于0
return null;
if (pops[degree] != null) //如果已经存在则不需创建
return pops[degree];

if (degree == 0)
pops[0] = window.createPopup(); //创建最顶层Popup窗口
else{
if (pops[degree - 1] == null)
pops[degree - 1] = CreatePopup(degree - 1);//递归回溯从第一层开始创建
pops[degree] = pops[degree - 1].document.parentWindow.createPopup(); //从父Popup窗口创建子Popup窗口
}
pops[degree].document.body.setAttribute("degree", degree);
return pops[degree];
}

CreatePopup(1); //创建一个2层的Popup家族

var oPopup = pops[0];
var timer = null;


/**
*显示一级子菜单
*@param objShow - 显示子菜单的对象
*@param strGetID - 存储显示内容的标签id
*/
function showSubMenu1(objShow,strGetID) {
clearTimer();
endHideSubMenu();
var objGet = eval(document.getElementById(strGetID));

pops[1].hide();
pops[0].document.body.innerHTML = objGet.innerHTML;
pops[0].show(0,0,1,1,objShow);
var intWidth = pops[0].document.body.scrollWidth;
var intHeight = pops[0].document.body.scrollHeight;
pops[0].hide();
pops[0].show(10,objShow.offsetHeight-2,intWidth,intHeight,objShow);
}


/**
*显示二级菜单
*@param strGetID - 存储显示内容的标签id
*@param objTr - 显示子菜单的tr对象
*/
function showSubMenu2(strGetID,objTr) {
clearTimer();
endHideSubMenu();
var objGet = eval(document.getElementById(strGetID));
pops[1].document.body.innerHTML = objGet.innerHTML;
pops[1].show(0,0,1,1,pops[0].document.body);
var intWidth = pops[1].document.body.scrollWidth;
var intHeight = pops[1].document.body.scrollHeight;
pops[1].hide();
pops[1].show(objTr.offsetWidth - 2,-2, intWidth, intHeight, objTr);

}

//隐藏一级子菜单
function hideSubMenu1(){
//pops[0].hide();
window.setTimeout("pops[0].hide()", 1000);
}

//隐藏二级子菜单
function hideSubMenu2()
{
//clearTimer();
//timer = window.setTimeout("pops[1].hide()", 1000);
pops[1].hide();
}

//隐藏所有下拉菜单
function hideSubMenu()
{
if(pops[0] != null)pops[0].hide();
if(pops[1] != null)pops[1].hide();
}

function clearTimer()
{
if (timer != null)
window.clearTimeout(timer)
timer = null;
//alert("OK");
}

(2)读取分析xml数据文件,打印菜单的脚本

//位置信息
var m_strTitle = "您的位置->";

// -------- 主菜单样式相关定义 --------//

//定义主菜单样式
var m_strMainMenuStyle = "";
//主菜单项的样式attribute
var m_strMainMenuItemStyle = "";
//主菜单项样式Property
var m_strMMItemProBase = {};
//主菜单项鼠标悬停样式Property
var m_strMMItemProMOver = {};
//菜单项与项之间的分割图片
var m_strMMItemSplitImg;

// -------- 子菜单样式相关定义 --------//

//定义子菜单样式
var m_strSubMenuStyle = "";
//子菜单项的样式attribute
var m_strSubMenuItemStyle = "";
//子菜单项样式Property
var m_strSMItemProBase = {};
//子菜单项鼠标悬停样式Property
var m_strSMItemProMOver = {};
//子菜单项下边框样式(作为分割线)
var m_strSMItemBorderB = "";

//定义虚拟目录路径
var m_strContextPath = "";

//菜单xml数据文件对象
var m_doc;

//主菜单集合
var m_objMMList;


var STR_POS_FRONT = "您的位置:";

//loadMenu("main_menu.xml");
/**
*加载菜单
*@param strXMLPath - XML数据文件所在路径及文件名
*/
function loadMenu(strXMLFile) {
m_doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0");
m_doc.async = false;
m_doc.load(strXMLFile);

getMainMenuStyle();
getSubMenuStyle();

//得到主菜单集合
m_objMMList = m_doc.selectSingleNode("//popmenu/menus").childNodes;

//得到虚拟目录
if( m_doc.selectSingleNode("//popmenu/context/path") ) {
m_strContextPath = m_doc.selectSingleNode("//popmenu/context/path").text;
}

//输出主菜单
printMainMenu();
//输出一级子菜单
printSubMenu();

}

三、典型的xml配置
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>

<popmenu>
<!--样式定义-->
<style>
<!--主菜单样式定义-->
<main-menu>
<!--基本样式,只要节点符合table style attribute即可-->
<base>
<background-color>#DDDDDD</background-color>
<background-image>url(menu_bg.jpg)</background-image>
<font-size>10pt</font-size>
<color>#000099</color>
<width>100%</width>
<height>32</height>
<text-align>center</text-align>
<cursor>default</cursor>
</base>
<!--菜单项的样式-->
<menu-item>
<!--基本样式,节点符合td style attribute即可,可选。鼠标移出时使用该样式-->
<base>
<background-color></background-color>
<color>#000099</color>
</base>
<!--鼠标悬停时的样式,节点符合td style attribute即可,可选-->
<mouse-over>
<background-color>white</background-color>
<border>1 solid #6699CC</border>
<color>green</color>
</mouse-over>
<!--菜单项与项之间的分割图片,可选-->
<split-image>url(menu_split.gif)</split-image>
</menu-item>
</main-menu>

<!--子菜单样式定义-->
<sub-menu>
<!--基本样式,只要节点符合table style attribute即可-->
<base>
<font-size>9pt</font-size>
<border>1 solid black</border>
<cursor>default</cursor>
</base>
<!--菜单项的样式-->
<menu-item>
<!--基本样式,节点符合tr style attribute即可,可选。鼠标移出时使用该样式-->
<base>
<background-color>white</background-color>
<color>#006699</color>
</base>
<!--鼠标悬停时的样式,节点符合tr style attribute即可,可选。-->
<mouse-over>
<background-color>#DDDDDD</background-color>
<color>#000066</color>
</mouse-over>
<!--菜单项与项之间的分割线,参数符合border样式即可。可选-->
<split-line>1 solid #999999</split-line>
</menu-item>
</sub-menu>
</style>

<!--
context path相当于虚拟目录的别名。如果菜单的链接使用绝对路径访问,则建议设置该节点。
如果设置该节点则菜单的链接地址由该值加上菜单项设置的href构成。
该节点是可选的
-->
<context>
<path></path>
</context>

<!--
菜单数据。
menus下的节点视为主菜单,只有主菜单设置的宽度值才有效
菜单必须有text,href两个属性,target为可选属性,默认值为"_self"
text - 菜单文本
href - 菜单链接地址。如果不需链接请用"#";如果是执行某段javascript,请加上前缀javascript:
target - 菜单打开的窗口
-->
<menus>
<menu text="CSDN" href="#" target="_blank" width="60">
<menu text="网站首页" href="http://www.csdn.net" target="_blank">
</menu>
<menu text="服务" href="#">
<menu text="blog" href="http://blog.csdn.net/"></menu>
<menu text="技术社区" href="http://community.csdn.net/"></menu>
<menu text="帮助" href="javascript:help();"></menu>
</menu>
</menu>
<menu text="SOHU" href="http://www.sohu.com" target="_blank" width="60">
</menu>
<menu text="NCUCEC" href="http://www.infocespace.cn" target="_blank" width="60">
<menu text="公司网站" href="http://www.infospace.cn" target="_blank"></menu>
<menu text="内部论坛" href="http://www.infospace.cn/forums" target="_self"></menu>
</menu>
</menus>
</popmenu>

四、使用例子

<html>
<head>
<title>javascript+xml二级下拉菜单(使用window.createPopup())</title>

</head>
<body bgcolor="#cccccc">

<script language="javascript" src="menu_script1.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="menu_script2.js"></script>


<div>
<script language="javascript">loadMenu("menu_data.xml");</script>
</div>

</body>
</html>

只要节点名称符合各自标签(table,tr,td之一)的style attribute即可。

(3)主菜单项之间可以设置分割图片,
子菜单项可以设置分割线的样式。

(4)所有图片都由css控制,避免路径问题。

(5)可以设置虚拟目录的别名,为菜单链接使用绝对路径带来方便,如:

<context>
<path>hdsa</path>
</context>


设置该值后,用户只需根据文件的目录结构写好菜单,而不必担心虚拟目录的问题。

由于菜单使用了window.createPopup(),
所以它被限制在IE5.5以上,
而且子菜单如果是新开窗口,会被拦截。
注:用window.createPopup()制作菜单受到过前人的启发

二、实现的两个脚本可以写在一个文件中:

(1)处理Popup窗口的脚本

//------------------ 下面一些函数用来处理弹出窗口; ------------------ //
var pops = new Array(); // 用来存储Popup窗口家族的数组
function CreatePopup(degree)
{
if (degree < 0);// 层数不能小于0
return null;
if (pops[degree] != null) //如果已经存在则不需创建
return pops[degree];

if (degree == 0)
pops[0] = window.createPopup(); //创建最顶层Popup窗口
else{
if (pops[degree - 1] == null)
pops[degree - 1] = CreatePopup(degree - 1);//递归回溯从第一层开始创建
pops[degree] = pops[degree - 1].document.parentWindow.createPopup(); //从父Popup窗口创建子Popup窗口
}
pops[degree].document.body.setAttribute("degree", degree);
return pops[degree];
}

CreatePopup(1); //创建一个2层的Popup家族

var oPopup = pops[0];
var timer = null;


/**

*/
function showSubMenu1(objShow,strGetID) {
clearTimer();
endHideSubMenu();
var objGet = eval(document.getElementById(strGetID));

pops[1].hide();
pops[0].document.body.innerHTML = objGet.innerHTML;
pops[0].show(0,0,1,1,objShow);
var intWidth = pops[0].document.body.scrollWidth;
var intHeight = pops[0].document.body.scrollHeight;
pops[0].hide();
pops[0].show(10,objShow.offsetHeight-2,intWidth,intHeight,objShow);
}


/**
*显示二级菜单
*@param strGetID - 存储显示内容的标签id
*@param objTr - 显示子菜单的tr对象
*/
function showSubMenu2(strGetID,objTr) {
clearTimer();
endHideSubMenu();
var objGet = eval(document.getElementById(strGetID));
pops[1].document.body.innerHTML = objGet.innerHTML;
pops[1].show(0,0,1,1,pops[0].document.body);

三、典型的xml配置
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>

<popmenu>
<!--样式定义-->
<style>
<!--主菜单样式定义-->
<main-menu>
<!--基本样式,只要节点符合table style attribute即可-->
<base>
<background-color>#DDDDDD</background-color>
<background-image>url(menu_bg.jpg)</background-image>
<font-size>10pt</font-size>
<color>#000099</color>
<width>100%</width>
<height>32</height>
<text-align>center</text-align>
<cursor>default</cursor>
</base>
<!--菜单项的样式-->
<menu-item>
<!--基本样式,节点符合td style attribute即可,可选。鼠标移出时使用该样式-->
<base>
<background-color></background-color>
<color>#000099</color>
</base>
<!--鼠标悬停时的样式,节点符合td style attribute即可,可选-->
<mouse-over>
<background-color>white</background-color>
<border>1 solid #6699CC</border>
<color>green</color>
</mouse-over>
<!--菜单项与项之间的分割图片,可选-->
<split-image>url(menu_split.gif)</split-image>
</menu-item>
</main-menu>

<!--子菜单样式定义-->
<sub-menu>
<!--基本样式,只要节点符合table style attribute即可-->
<base>
<font-size>9pt</font-size>
<border>1 solid black</border>
<cursor>default</cursor>
</base>
<!--菜单项的样式-->
<menu-item>
<!--基本样式,节点符合tr style attribute即可,可选。鼠标移出时使用该样式-->
<base>
<background-color>white</background-color>
<color>#006699</color>
</base>
<!--鼠标悬停时的样式,节点符合tr style attribute即可,可选。-->
<mouse-over>
<background-color>#DDDDDD</background-color>
<color>#000066</color>
</mouse-over>
<!--菜单项与项之间的分割线,参数符合border样式即可。可选-->
<split-line>1 solid #999999</split-line>
</menu-item>
</sub-menu>
</style>

<!--
context path相当于虚拟目录的别名。如果菜单的链接使用绝对路径访问,则建议设置该节点。
如果设置该节点则菜单的链接地址由该值加上菜单项设置的href构成。
该节点是可选的
-->
<context>
<path></path>
</context>

<!--
菜单数据。
menus下的节点视为主菜单,只有主菜单设置的宽度值才有效
菜单必须有text,href两个属性,target为可选属性,默认值为"_self"
text - 菜单文本
href - 菜单链接地址。如果不需链接请用"#";如果是执行某段javascript,请加上前缀javascript:
target - 菜单打开的窗口
-->
<menus>
<menu text="CSDN" href="#" target="_blank" width="60">
<menu text="网站首页" href="http://www.csdn.net" target="_blank">
</menu>
<menu text="服务" href="#">
<menu text="blog" href="http://blog.csdn.net/"></menu>
<menu text="技术社区" href="http://community.csdn.net/"></menu>
<menu text="帮助" href="javascript:help();"></menu>
</menu>
</menu>
<menu text="SOHU" href="http://www.sohu.com" target="_blank" width="60">
</menu>
<menu text="NCUCEC" href="http://www.infocespace.cn" target="_blank" width="60">

<menu text="内部论坛" href="http://www.infospace.cn/forums" target="_self"></menu>
</menu>
</menus>
</popmenu>

四、使用例子

<html>
<head>
<title>javascript+xml二级下拉菜单(使用window.createPopup())</title>

</head>
<body bgcolor="#cccccc">

<script language="javascript" src="menu_script1.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="menu_script2.js"></script>


<div>
<script language="javascript">loadMenu("menu_data.xml");</script>
</div>

</body>
</html>
