Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.

When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.

Please let me know. 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 have used one of your products in the past, but bare with me as I am not a programmer. It was a Basic Horizontal Menu that I used mostly the defaults with.

I have a New website that needs to have more than one MENU....
1 - Header = (Horizontal) Drop down Menu
2 - Right Side Bar = (Vertical) MAIN Menu with sub-menus
3 - Lower Side Bar = (Vertical) Menu #2 with sub-menu
4 - Footer Menu = (Horizontal) Pop-up Menu?

I am not sure how this all would be accomplished on one page.
I have tried reading the INFO on the site but I get lost in all the data.
Could you explain a little better please?


A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.

You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>  var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

and then call your data files:

<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>



Q: I have included one of your (great) horizontal menus on a site I am working on - it's working well, apart from in IE (v6.0), it appears with a drop shadow - do you know how to get rid of this?


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
You should set the following parameter:

  var shadowLen=0;
