Q: 1: For the deluxe-menu, can I keep a submenu shown even when my mouse pointer is NOT over the submenu anymore (besides the delay functions?) and hides only after a mouseclick somewhere (like the Microsoft menu of outlook)?
2: Is there a way to use the smartscrolling function (for a vertical menu) on the MAIN menu instead of only for the submenu's?
A: 1) Unfortunately, you can't do it.
You can use Deluxe Tree,

2) Yes, you can't use scrolling in the main menu. But if you have verylarge menu you can use multilevel menu,

Theoretically we can do scrolling in the main menu, but we think that it will be better touse multilevel menu in that case.
Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.
1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.
I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.
A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.
You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.
> 2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item?
Yes, please see

Q: Hi I have been using the trial version with deluxe tuner. The only problem I have had is that I cannot work out how to change the background colour of the menu (how it appears on the page as a menu bar when none of the dropdowns are activated) any help would be appreciated as I am considering purchasing your product but if I cannot change the colour then I am only limited to the sample templates you have supplied
A: Please, see the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
Q: Our company bought the deluxemenu bundle about one year ago.
We were wondering is there any api for the deluxmenu js tabs available?
We would need to programatically open a particular tab.
A: No, unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
