Q: Will the java menu api changing the node image on the fly in real time?
A: Yes, API functions will change the node image on the fly.
Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".
How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.
Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.
Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.
If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.
A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.
Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.
A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.
