Q: I'd really appreciate any info on how I can create dhtml menu on Mac..

We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
HTML version of Deluxe Tuner (MAC version) can be downloaded

1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. I'm sending you package with all
templates. Just open data file in Deluxe Tuner.
Add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
(you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the
trial package"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems:

2. You should install the menu on your page.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder.
You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.Try that.Q: We have been using a free javascript for a couple of years but now we would like to have a functionality that our existing js is missing.
Basically, we need the ordinary tree view javascript with "+" and "-" that highlights the node clicked. No problem with that I suppose... BUT, we have a bunch of pages with internal links, linking the visitor to other pages within the site (i.e. they don't have to use the leftside tree navigation). What I want is that the navigation js recognizes that a page loads without any node has been clicked, and automagically expands the nav tree and highlights the node for that page.
No AJAX, no XML, no php or asp, just plain HTML + JS is a requirement from our customers.
Is that possible with any of your products...?
A: Yes it is possible with Deluxe Tree.

http://deluxe-tree.com/highlight-selected-menu-item-sample.htmlQ: I have another question concerning pop-up windows. If I do the following:
1) Use the Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up window.
2) Change the location of the gif, css, and js files from all of them being within "deluxe-popup-window.files" to the files being in separate directories and
3) Update the "deluxe-popup-window.js" file and the "jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css" file so that they contain the new directory locations
Will the html window function properly? Thanks for the help.
A: If you change all paths in jaw_skin_windowsvista_graphite.css and deluxe-popup-window.jsfiles correctly your popup window should work fine.Q: Do you support keyboard shortcuts (up/down through javascript for drop down menu)? I couldn't find an example of that.
Also, this one from OpenCube (exploding submenus) runs on Firefox too. No way to get that in yours?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't support transitional effect in Firefox. Thereis no way to do it in the current version of the menu. It is possiblethat we'll add this feature in the next versions.
Deluxe Menu has keyboard support. You can check it on our website
http://deluxe-menu.com/
Press Ctrl+F2 to enter/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate
Esc - exit the menu
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
