Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so
that a menu selection stays 'on' for the navigation bar script?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color
that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: Can I expand all tree category in the collapse menu html?
A: You can expand all items in Deluxe Tree, set:
var texpanded=1;
To expand specific items you should add "+" sign before item's text:
["+Samples Gallery","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "1", "0", "", ],
["|+Samples Block 1","", "default.files/icon3_s.gif", "default.files/icon3_so.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||New Sample 1","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||New Sample 2","testlink.htm", "default.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Try that.
Q: Can you please give me tips on how I can style all menuitems to have font bold when selected and normal font when not selected?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.
You can set menu item's font bold onMouseover, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-templates/vista-style-7-template-sample.html
You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
var tmenuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

];
Please, notice also that you should add this function every time whenyou change your menu in Deluxe Tuner application, as Tuner deletesthis function.
Q: I have another question concerning pop-up windows. If I do the following:
1) Use the Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up window.
2) Change the location of the gif, css, and js files from all of them being within "deluxe-popup-window.files" to the files being in separate directories and
3) Update the "deluxe-popup-window.js" file and the "jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css" file so that they contain the new directory locations
Will the html window function properly? Thanks for the help.
A: If you change all paths in jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css and deluxe-popup-window.jsfiles correctly your popup window should work fine.
