  • Use special Java Script methods for: Dynamic changing of items (link, text, icons, arrows and even individual style!). Addition/removing of items or submenus. Disabling and enabling menu items. Getting the info on every submenu, menu, and items. Changing appearance of items. Other coding tricks.
  • Cross-frame mode lets you to construct full-featured dhtml menus on the pages with frames. But for all that frame set it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify several extra menu parameters.

Pls advise !!

Q: Now, I need your help in another question: I can set "tpressedFontColor" to have the font of the active item in the dhtml tree menu take this color.

How can I make the onmouseover - background ("titemBackImage" of the individual style set in the item parameters) of the menu item also be saved in the active, selected dhtml tree menu item? I need to build a menu with different background-images (shown on mouseover and when active) for each item, so I cannot set ONE "titemBackImage" that fits for all.

Thank you very much, Irene. And yes, I really love this product.

A: Unfortunately it is not possible now to set background color orbackground image for the selected state. Deluxe tree doesn't have sucha feature now.

But we'll try to add this feature in the next versions of Deluxe Tree.
