Q: Can I ask a technical question? I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the drop down menu selected branch to sty highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window (where the menu brings up a new page), just so the user knows where he/she is. Is that possible?
A: But if you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

A: You should create menu items in the Deluxe Tuner and specify link and target for each item, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Upcoming Trainings","http://domain.org/pub/upcoming-trainings", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Conferences & Workshops","upcoming-workshops.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Continuing Ed","ceu.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];Q: "Tools/Use utf8 encode" from my Deluxe Tuner is turned on (with check in it). You mean I will have to uncheck it?
No problem with my pages... it is only with the java swing drop down menu because there are words that doesn't show the correct letters / characters I am encoding both in French and Spanish pages. My boss said, it looks like a virus..(lol..)
A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, youshould set UTF-8 encode on your page too
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
