Q: I am testing the menu under the 2nd URL however I am just receiving a blank page Why would the menu be totally blank ...not even incorrect key or trial version warnings. Does Deluxe menu need ASP installed on the server.
A: You should call dmWorkPath parameter before you call dmenu.js file.
Check also that this parameter point to the same directory withdmenu.js file. So, you should install the menu in the following way:
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a> </noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
Check it.
Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu en dhtml item of the Deluxe Menu.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your menu en dhtml data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript 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 trying the menu and facing one problem…
The text is too large and doesn't wrap around.. instead it makes the dhtml menu layers wider.
My dhtml menu layers needs to be 175 px only.. if there are to many characters in the link, I like it to wrap around to the next line…
Any options?
A: You should set the following dhtml menu layers parameter:
var noWrap=0;
You can also use standard <br> tags inside item's text:
["All Card <br>Envelopes","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Text in a browser's status bar when you put a pointer over an item. Values:
"link" - show item link;
