Recent Questions

Q: I have recently downloaded your menu, I love, and am definitely going to purchase it, however i do have a question, I made my site with dreamweaver mx, and it is designed in a series of tables, the main table is 3 column and on row, stretched at 100% width and length, the other tables are nested inside the middle column, I am trying to get the menu in the left column to float, I have read some of the other post in the support section, and I was wondering if their could be any <div> anywhere on the page or just before and after the menu script code?

here is the way my code is before and after the script code

<td width="17%" align="left" valign="top" background="images/LPback.png">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
this defines the column in which I want the menu to be,

here is my code for the floatable menu
//--- Positioning
  var tabsolute=1;
  var tleft="0px";
  var ttop="205px";

//--- Floatable Menu
  var tfloatable=1;
  var tfloatIterations=10;
  var tfloatableX=1;
  var tfloatableY=1;


A: You should add the following parameter:

<script type="text/javascript">  var tWorkPath="data.files/";</script>

See more info about installation here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html

You should also add dtree_add.js file in the "data.files/" folder.


Q: I activated option "state saving" but I think there's a problem;
when I open the website and click on an item of the menu, the pressed item becomes red
(up to now it's ok), but if I have topress F5 on the keyboard or press on the refresh button
to refresh the web page, the pressed item loses its color red.
I'd like the pressed item in the dhtml expand menu to maintain its color after the refresh command.
How can I solve this problem?



A: Tree Menu 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 apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)

<script type="text/javascript">

  var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{

dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));

}

</script>


Q: I have used Deluxe tuner menu on a web page and facing two small problems

a) The separator I have used do not show up. This is supposed to be a black horizontal line below every menu item. The image name is sep.jpg

b) The submenu appears on the right and I am unable to figure out a way to get the submenu to appear on the left. My navigation is placed on the right panel so if the sub menu appears on right of drop down menu bar, it practically goes off the page.

Can you please help with this and let me know why this is happening ?

A: 1) You should set separators between main items:

["Home","testlink.html", "data.files/bul.jpg", "data.files/bul.jpg", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-"],
["About Us","", "data.files/bul.jpg", "data.files/bul.jpg", "", "", "", "", "", ],

And set:
  var separatorVImage="data.files/sep.jpg";
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="1px";
  var separatorPadding="0px";

2) You should set the following parameter:

  var smViewType=2;



Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".

How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.

Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.

Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.

If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.

You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.
