Q: In the drop down menu generator there's no option for turning the cursor into a hand. There's hourglass etc but no hand. Is there a way to make it a hand?
A: You should set the following parameter
var itemCursor="pointer";
Q: If you click a list drop menu link in the tree that opens a new page, for example, Solutions:By Type:Psuedo Wire , the link, Psuedo Wire, remains highlighted.
If you click a line that targets _self, for example, Solutions: By Type: T1 Extender, the link does not remain highlighted. My web app will need highlighting and all links will target _self. I have to solve this problem soon or else look elsewhere.
A: It is normal behaviour, your list drop menu can save its state within one page only.
You can try to use frames, and open pages in the content frame. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server (we use this method on our website
http://deluxe-tree.com).
You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
To expand specific items you should use the following function: dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: Is there some way or hack to use the ajax tabs?
A: No, Deluxe Tabs doesn't support AJAX now, it is possible that we'll add this feature inthe future versions.Q: What i am doing is a horizontal menu with submenus opening down vertically. The main menu and sub menu has a background image. These are rather large for a menu and when the sub menu expands i want it to stay below the main menu and not go upwards to cover the main menu when the browser window is too small.
A: Yes, they will stay forcibly below the main menu.
You can use Smart Scrollable Feature. In that case sub menus won't cover
the main menu items. You can see an example here
http://deluxe-menu.com/scrollable-submenus-sample.html
You may specify the exact height for submenus, for example:
var smHeight="500px";
Use the following parameters to set the direction for submenus:
var subMenuAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="top";
