Q: I made my own multi-users Content Management System and I'm using deluxe menu developer license to create my menu into this application.
One dhtml menu vertical constantly need to be reload to see new page created/modified or deleted by other logged users. So I just take out your code for Ajax sample to fill dynamically this submenu.
There is my .js file fort my menu : mnu_admin.zip (You'll need to extract the .js file)
In this file I'm using the same way it goe's into your example with Ajax on line : [172] ["Contenu pages","", "", "", "Gйrer les pages du site", "", "0", "0", "modules/menu/data-ajax3.js", ],
There is my : data-ajax3.js (periodically change)
var menuItems = [
["|Services", "contenu_pages_a.php?id=HMglcKWvAQklxw4uM3qHWa9pFhY432dZNIXOIlYNJO4%3D", "", "", "Services", "", "", "", ""],

];
Another user just delete differents pages so the data_ajax3.js change to this (example) :
var menuItems = [
["|Services","contenu_pages_a.php?id=HMglcKWvAQklxw4uM3qHWa9pFhY432dZNIXOIlYNJO4%3D", "","", "Services", "", "", "", ""],

Trouble :
When I go over "Contenu pages" menu, the submenu won't reload and still show me the new submenu with upper content (With "Qui sommes-nous"). I need to completely refresh the page and sometime to delete browser CACHE.
What I want to do :
I want to get submenu completely reload everytime I pass over "Contenu pages" dhtml menu vertical with the mouse.
Tested Browser :
IE6 and FF3
A: Try to set the following parameter to reload submenus on recall:
var ajaxReload=1;
Q: When doing a multi-frame frameset (1 top frame, 2 bottom frames) like this:
<frameset ID="frames" ONLOAD="getBottom()" ROWS="50, *" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="no" FRAMESPACING="0">
   <frame NAME="frmTop" SRC="top.htm" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER="0" />
    <frameset ID="bottomFrames" cols="171,*">
     <frame name="frmLeft" src="left.htm" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZE FRAMEBORDER="0"/>
     <frame name="frmMain" MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 SCROLLING=NO NORESIZEFRAMEBORDER="0" />
    </frameset>
</frameset>
And using the dm_frameinit like this:
dm_initFrame("[object]", 0, 2, 0);
it works fine in IE -> the menus are displayed exactly under the text and in the bottom right frame.
However, in Firefox, the menu drop down is displayed to the right of the top menu text, and exactly the number of pixels as the width of the left frame.
Perhaps there needs to be some FireFox checking to fix this?
Can you help me with that?
A: The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.
You should create the following frameset structure:
 --|------------
   | menu
 --|------------
   |
   | submenus
   |
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.
Q: I evaluated Deluxe Menu over the weekend and I really like it. I believe I'll be buying it this week. I have one question. Is it possible for the menu to be aware of what page you have selected and highlight the corresponding menu item on that page.
A: You should 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: The submenus of the javascript menu buttons are reported behind the mediaplayer (IE 8)
A: Try to set the following parameter for your object:
windowlessvideo="true"
So, you'll have:
<embed width="800" height="470" src="video/spot-1.wmv" windowlessvideo="true">
