Q: I'm trying to set the frame parameters to frame name body. I have tried seven different text items: body, _body, frame name=body, framename=body, "framename=body", the relative URL, and the exact URL in the titemTarget parameter (common parameters). Nothing seems to work. It always sets the target to a new window. What text do I need to enter for the default parameter to be the body frame target?
Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus? There doesn't seem to be a halfway point. Either all the menus are open, or all closed. If I set the default to hidden, it is non-functional. If I set it to expanded, that's not what I'm looking for either.
The menu looks good; other than these two problems it is functioning properly.
A: Please, check the following parameter:
var titemTarget="framename";
You can also set item target for each item
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
Try that.

You want to expand only the main items when you load your page?
If it is so you can set expanded items by default.
If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ], // this item is expanded by default
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif",
"default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ], // this subitem is not expanded by default
Q: I have already tried this exact same method, using and alternate "itemBackColor" and this is not what I needed. As you can see in your example putting in an item back color only give you a different bg color on the item itself, but the BG of the menu around it remains the same. In your example the lighter bg color of my menu is surrounding the item bg color making this look more like a mistake and poor design.
It do use the item bg color for the rollover in my menu, as you can see, but implementing this does not give me what I need. I need the BG color behind this item to be completely flush with the sides of the menu.
I had already checked the menu system thoroughly before contacting you and I was well aware of the option.. but as you can see this is not the solution. It is very important to me that this looks perfect, and what I need is not built into this menu by default.. I need another solution.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var itemSpacing=0;
You can also try to paste separators between items.
Q: If I open a pdf file within the frame work, the javascript onmouseover menu does not work.
A: Try to load your .pdf file into the IFRAME, for example on yourcontent frame (frame where you load your pdf files) you'll have:
<iframe src="files/1.pdf" name="iframe" style="z-index:0;" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
Submenus will overlap PDF correctly if you load it in the IFRAME only!
Q: I am testing it on my website.
I have under the submenu 'Generalites" two links "Presentation" and "Formulaires"
I would like when I click on what ever link on the expandable javascript menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background.
For exemple:
If I click on link Presentation then this link will become in a different color and also its background.
Then If I click on Formulaire the prevous link is reset and the Formulaire link appears in a differemt color and its backgroud. How should I do it ?
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a pressed
item as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
