Q: My site requires me to regularly update the menu by inserting a new menu item at the top of the list. Creating a sub-item automatically places it at the bottom and I haven't yet found a way to move java animated menu items to the top apart from manually editing the data.js file.
A: You should use new engine files v3.2.5 and add items using thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Adds the new item to a submenu.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0. See more info about indexes here.
iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters. This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array. You can assign parameters of another existent item of the menu (for example, when you want to create a duplicate of the existent item) or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item.

Q: I'm evaluating a copy of deluxe-tree and have a question about long items. I need to be able to either automatically wrap the line to fit the width given in the tmenuWidth variable or insert line breaks as I see fit.
At the moment I have found that I can insert the <br> tag to force a line to break but it messes up the space after the menu, if I have several one after the other then they will sit close together. If I add a
at the beginning of the menu entry then the space before is bigger than the default.
Is there any easy way around this?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var tnoWrap=0;
Q: Is this transparent feature there for individual submenu styles or for individual menu items in scrolling menu? I want that.
A: See, you can use "transparent" value instead of any color in the mainmenu parameters and in Individual styles.
var menuBackColor="transparent";
var menuBorderColor="transparent";
var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];
var itemBorderColor=["transparent","transparent"];
var moveColor="transparent";
var shadowColor="transparent";
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderColor=transparent,transparent"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderColor=transparent"],
];
Q: Hi there ... a while ago I had asked you what I need to change to prevent exit pops from being activated, but I don't think it's working.
For example, a regular link that I want:
onClick="exit=false"
How do I do it with dhtml vertical menu?
Before, in the "text" box in the "Item Parameters" window, you had me do the following:
<span onClick='exit=false;'>click here</span>
But that doesn't seem to work. Any other suggestions? Thanks very much.
A: I suppose that you should move menuItems from the data file to yourhtml page directly (where you define exit variable).
