Q: A brief one on dynamic menu in the perspective of bilinguism
I understood from the tuner that a menu can be made dynamic (although it is somewhat minimally documented ;-))
Leaving alone all the beautiful sophisticated and complex mechanic of it
Say I have my main menu that says :
var dynamic=1; (that's all I got from the doc ..)
And then
var menuItems = [
["Choice 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choice 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choice 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choice 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Minimalist ? ;-) right ?
1/ first I'm not too sure about what exactly in order are these 11 parameters although I'm fine with the only 4 I have here
2/ if I would want to change on the fly menu javascript dropdown page on a PHP parameter Page1.php?lang=French (I perfectly master how to capture the PHP value)
So that My menu becomes on the fly
["Choix 1 ","page1.php", "", "", "Choix 1",", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Choix 2","page2.php", "", "", "Choix 2", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this
PS : And although I used hardly 1% of deluxe capability my first customer is very happy about it..

To change the menu items on the fly you can use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)Q: How can we predefine the COLOR of the pressed item for the css tree menu?
A: See the following parameter:
var tpressedFontColor="#AA0000";Q: I am in the early stages of desgning a website for a client and am looking for a particular menu script.
I came across your site ad am impressed with the options. However, I am haivng trouble finding something that will do what the client is looking for.
With a horizontal menu bar across the top, a drop down sub-menu appears but the menu items appear side by side insdie of in a column.
I was hopeing that one of your options might be able to handle this type of menu but I do not see that there is a script for it. Is that true or is it possible to achieve this example in a setting in one of your scripts.
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
Please, see the attached example.
You should set this parameter:
var smOrientation=1;
You can create any style of the menu.
Please, try the trial version, http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip
Q: I got the menu to display across frames, but it displays differently in Firefox & Mozillavs. Internet Explorer. Is that to be expected?
In The Mozilla-based browsers, the submenu butts right upunder the main menu – which is how I want it. In IE, it is about 10 pixels below.
Also, I can’t get the submenus to drop down directly under the main menus – they are offset by about 100 pixels to the right.
A: The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.
You should create the following frameset structure:
--|------------
   | menu
--|------------
   |
   | submenus
   |
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.
