Q: Hello. I have noticed that when you expand a menu and then click to another page, the menu is collapsed on the next page. I read about "state saving" and tried the parameter which did not work. Is there a way to accomplish this?
A: You can see the example for state saving here:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html
This menu saves its state.
To enable this mode you should include dtree_ss.js file intoyour html page and set the following parameter:
var tsaveState = 1;
See, if you open pages (with menus) from different folder itmeans that you open different menus. So, when you change a state, forexample, of the first menu within "content/" folder and then openanother page with the menu within "content/subfolder/", browsers looks for anothercookie file and can't find it and the second menu stays in a defaultstate. Is it clear?

Pls advise !!

Q: I am trying to create a multicolumn dhtml navigation menu and nothing appears when I upload it to my server. I am attaching my menu called menu.js that I have created and placed in a folder called menudir.
Can you please advise, thank you.
A: You can find more info here:

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml navigation menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.Q: I am using cross browser drop down menu and I would like to know how I can make a link which displays its target file in 2 frames at the same time.
The menu is placed on my main page and 2 other frames are placed at the same main page too. I would like to send parameters to the mentioed 2 frames from 1 menu item to 2 frames at the same time.
Is it possible?
A: You should call javascript function onClick
function openlinks()
{ window.open('testlink_1.htm','frame3');
window.open('testlink_2.htm','frame2');
}
