Q: Is it possible that a menuitem of the js dropdown menu stays highlighted after clicking and loading the new html site?
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.
You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: Is there any way to keep a menu lit up when going to another page? Or do the menus always have to default back to their normal state?
I want the menu to know what page the user is on and keep that section highlighted. Any ideas?

Q: When I use API like <script>dm_ext_deleteItem(0, 0, 0);</script> it works fine in my first dhtml drop down menu code (menu.js) but I'm unable to reach second one (menu_gauche.js). I’ve tried this : <script>dm_ext_deleteItem(1, 0, 0);</script> and the page came’s out with a JavaScript error on that line. I’ve read on your side about dm_ext_deleteItem api and the first parameter is for menu Id … If there anything that I have forgot ??
A: You cannot use the following function for the tree menu:
dm_ext_deleteItem(1, 0, 0);
There is no such function there:
You should use
dtreet_ext_deleteItem (0, 0)
for the tree menu, see more info:

You should set menuInd=0 if you have only one dhtml drop down menu code on your page.
