Q: We would like it so when you click on an option in the free dhtml menu, the page shows up in the main middle frame..So far, I can only seem to get it to show up in its own page.
A: You should set the correct target parameter for your items.
You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the main middle frame where you want to open the link.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ], Q: You've been helping me with some issues on the Deluxe Tree Menu system my company has purchased and most issues are resolved, so thank you! One big problem remains though and we can't seem to figure it out, so I hope you can help.
What we want is, when a user enters our site from the index (home) page then clicks on a link and the sub-page opens, for the dhtml menu tree to be open to the section the user is in and viewing. We also DO NOT want the browser to save the state of the menu, since that is inconsistent with where the user is in the site. Note: we do not use the Menu on the home page, is this a problem?
Per your tech support email, I've added the expand code, which works going from the home page to sub-pages. However, it interferes with navigating to other sub-pages once your in the site. The menu doesn't keep the section open, it closes back up. You mentioned the expand code has to be entered on every page....is that so in this instance and if so, that's a maintenance nightmare - does a better way exist for this type of menu?
Then we activated the "save state" option and the menu stays open on the sub-pages, but the expand option doesn't work.
It's like they cancel each other out and you can only have one or the other.
Can I get these two to work together? What do I need to do? Is it better to use the XP-style menu?
A: When user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page and the script re-create the dhtml menu tree.
If you want to open the needed section automatically on load you can use the following:
1. Save the state to cookies
2. Use frames
3. Put the special script on each page of site that will open appropriate section.

Q: I have a top horizontal menu with one level sub-menus.
I am using images for the rollover (on & off). I don’t need the generated text on the main menu, only on the submenus.
??? How do I eliminate the text and only have roll-overs?
A: You should delete item's text:
["","testlink.html", "image.gif", "imageo.gif", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I recently purchased a license to use Deluxe Tree Menu.
The javascript array menu is looking great in IE6.0, but there are some very odd images that show up in Firefox. Please help me resolve this issue.
I believe I made modifications from the template of Vista Style 7, although I'm not certain of this. I've deleted unnecessary images from the folder, zipped it up, and have attached it to this email. You'll see the problem on the AboutUs, Services, and Gallery pages.
A: Please, check that you have blank.gif image in the correct place.
