Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->

<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>

Q: Is there a way to have multiple drop down menus on the same web page? What I mean by that is I have a banner with drop downs (horizontal on page) that I want to use possibly with an include statement and when you click on one of the links from the drop down it would take you to a page that is say a department for example. But on this "department page" it would have another list of drop down menues in a different location in a vertical list. This gets tricky with a second set of script running to define the banner and a second set of drop down menues running vertical in a different location.
A: You can use as many different drop down menus on your site or your page as you want.

Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to leave a main navigation item highlighted when in that section. For example if I clicked on "Contact Us" and when I am on the contact us page, the "Contact us" navigation would still be highlighted. I appreciate any help you might have, thanks!
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: I recently downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Menu-Deluxe Tree and Deluxe Tabs. I am very, very pleased with your product!! I wish to purchase Deluxe Menu & Tree & Tabs & Popup Window & Calendar Single Website License Product # 300094393.
However, before I do, I have a few questions first.
Question #1
I created a DeluxeTree Menu that is very large due to the amount of pages in my website and tested it on my website. It works fine. Of course I have created and saved a .js file and still have to add much more submenus to it. When I purchase the full version of javascript context menu will and begin to modify this .js file that I created will the "Trail Version" logo disappear? I hope so because it would be quite a task to have to re-create this file.
Question #2
I also created a Deluxe Menu in a cross frame structure and placed the menu in the top frame. When I tested it and click on the menu button, the submenus drop down but do not appear in the frame below. They remain in the top frame forcing me to resize the top frame to see the submenus. When I viewed the example on your website for the cross frame structure, the examples show the submenus overlapping and appearing on the frame below the top frame. How do I fix this?
Thank you for time, looking forward to purchasing your product.
A: 1) There is no need to create your javascript context menu after the purchase.
You'll use new engine files only.
The purchased version of Deluxe Menus doesn't have nag messages.
You'll see "Incorrect Key" message on a local machine but you won't see it on a registered domain.
2) You should install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:
