Q: I'm loving your product! It has definitely made my life easier.
I do have a question however. I know if I put a "+" in front of the title, the category will be expanded by default.
["+PRODUCTS","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Is there a way to do that dynamically? Maybe have some code that would tell the sliding tree menu to expand on that particular page?
A: On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

http://www.deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.htmlQ: I've been using your application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu source.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
Q: Shouldn’t the dhtml expand menu know what page you are on and expand accordingly?
Or would you need to ‘hard code’ each page to be expanded basedon that page?
A: You should set the following parameter
var ttoggleMode=1;
Deluxe Tree doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
Try that.
Q: If I open a pdf file within the frame work, the javascript onmouseover menu does not work.
A: Try to load your .pdf file into the IFRAME, for example on yourcontent frame (frame where you load your pdf files) you'll have:
<iframe src="files/1.pdf" name="iframe" style="z-index:0;" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
Submenus will overlap PDF correctly if you load it in the IFRAME only!
