Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.
Please let me know. Thanks!
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: Is it possible to enter text in the java source code that won't display as a link?
A: If you don't want to use items as links you can disable these items.
To disable item you should set target parameter to "_".
You can do it in "Item Parameters" window.
Q: Is it possible to change the background color of just one of the menu buttons within a javascript expand menu?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Use Individual Item Styles.
Create Individual Item style and assign it to your submenu items usingDeluxe Tuner.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#800000,#FF8080"], //style0
];
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif","deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0

Q: Where can I change the state of Vista1 buttons?
A: If you want to have 1 state button, please, go to "Edit IndividualStyle"/Item Styles. Click on the style "Top Item" and in bothitemBackImage fields you should write btn_black.gif.
So in your data file you will have such code:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent", "fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF", "itemBackImage=btn_black.gif,btn_black.gif"],
];
