Q: I can’t seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual items in the website drop down menu.
I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px
regardless of the number of characters in the item.
Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style, forexample:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
Q: Once I have an answer form your reseller as to why the VAT doesn't correspond with my country's rate, I think that there is a very strong possibility that I will be investing in this impressive menu-builder. I do have a couple of questions which don't seem to be answered anywhere:
1: is it possible to configure the menu so that the person browsing the site previously-visited javascript menu links can be identified by say using a different font colour for visited 'pages'?
2: the section of the web page in which the menu is located is called by a SSI for each new page that the browser visits - will the menu rest each time the Included file is called, or will it persist from page to page?

You can find more info here:

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your 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.
See the attached example. Open deluxe-menu1.html. The first item ishighlighted. Then click to open deluxe-menu2.html file. The second item ishighlighted.

Deluxe Menu is the Javascript product. It means that it works on aclient side only and it doesn't depend on the server which you'reusing and it doesn't work on a server side as SSI script.
So when your browser reloads a page with the menu your menu reloads too.
Q: I can not figure out how you put the arrow that shows there's more information in the php drop down menu?
I tried and tried to figure it out where you add this .gif file?
A: You should set the following parameters in your data.js file:
var arrowImageMain=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowmain.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
//Normal and mouseover arrow images for top-level items.
var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowsub.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowsubo.gif"];
// Normal and mouseover arrow images for submenu items.
You can set these parameters in Deluxe Tuner also:
Open 'Icons' section in the main window and set var arrowImageMain and var arrowImageSubparameters.
Q: I tested your code and it works fine now. I don't need the Deluxe Tuner and only used the Java Script code. So please inform me about the expenses of using Java Script code and also related support needs.
A: Deluxe Tuner is a free software.
We support all our clients no matter if they had bought a license or not and what type of the license they have.
