Switch Menu - Default to an open menu

[noyellatmonkeys]

1) Script Title: Switch Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...switchmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: Hello, what i would like to have is that the first menu is defaulted to open when someone first gets to the menu. for instance on your demo, the "site menu" tab would automatically be open.

Im using switch menu to display pricing http://www.urbantrackers.com/bedding...d=D&style_id=P
and i would like for the first available menu (in this case comforter sets) to be open.

Thank you,

~ Moe

Just add

style="display:block;"

to the sub section you want open when you start.

you can do a style="display: block;" ... but if you use the persistent menu, then you will have two default menus open the next time you click on a page ...

... so I tweaked the code so now if the persistent cookie is empty it loads a default menu...

if (persistmenu=="yes"){
	
	var cookiename=(persisttype=="sitewide")? "switchmenu" : window.location.pathname
	
	var cookievalue=get_cookie(cookiename)
	
	if (cookievalue!="")
		document.getElementById(cookievalue).style.display="block";
	} else {
		document.getElementById("sub1").style.display="block";
	}
}

there was a slight but... here is the corrected code

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"
		} else {
			// put your initial menu here
			document.getElementById("sub1").style.display="block";
		}
	}
}
