I tryed your script out and have some questions now:
How do I highlight main menu items when I selected a main category?
How do I highlight submenu items when I selected a sub category?
How can I have a submenu unfoldet when I selected the matching main category?
I would be pleased to have answers to my questions as soon as possible.
Thank you for support!
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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: Is it correct that in vertical collapse menu you can specify your target as a different frame?
A: Yes, you can specify frame name as the target in Deluxe Tree:
var titemTarget="frame";Q: How can I manage that the last clicked javascript expanding tree item stays tree highlighted?
A: We have the following API function to highlight the pressed item in Deluxe Tree
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
But unfortunately this function doesn't work for AJAX submenus.
We'll try to add this feature soon (using save state feature).
