Q: I would like all my submenus of the html menu to appear in the same location on the page and not relative to the parent menu item.
A: You can do it using the following parameters:
var subMenuAlign = "left"; - Horizontal alignment for submenus.
"pleft", "pcenter", "pright" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.
var subMenuVAlign = "top"; - Submenus vertical alignment.
"ptop", "pcenter", "pbottom" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.

Q: I am looking at purchasing the Drop Down Menu Program. I cannot find any examples of other sites that may be using your product.
And each link that I click on for help gives me code to use on the page. Does this mean that I need to know JavaScript to use this program effectively? How recent is the newest version of your program?
Please advise if there is a support forum, also.
A: I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- Deluxe Menu, http://deluxe-menu.com.
This is a newer version of DHTML Menu. It works better.
I can send you some links to the websites with Deluxe Menu.

No, there is no need in deep knowledge of javascript to use the menu.
You can use Deluxe Tuner application to create your menus easily.
We release the new version of the menu about two times a year.
Q: I've looked through the FAQ's till my eyes burned... I know how to collapse/expand all on page load, but can't find an answer to this specific question
I am using tsaveState=1 and tcloseExpanded=1 and that works great when navigating the javascript vertical tree menu. But I'd like to be able to tell the javascript vertical tree menu to collapse all the way on the initial page load, without resetting those first two variables.
for instance;
a user logs on, goes to the order page, uses the menu to navigate and place an order. After the order is processed through a php verification page, the user is directed back to the order page via the php header() function, with the menu still intact, and the values of the order updated.
But once the user navigates away from the order page, and then returns to complete another order, I'd like the menu items to all be collapsed.
If that's not an inherent design of your menu program, is there a variable that I can pass with the initial load that will cause a full collapse?
A: No, unfortunately there is no such parameter in Deluxe Tree.
But you can try to delete
var tsaveState=1;
parameter from your data file and add it on your html page directly.
So, on your initial page you can set:
var tsaveState=0;
and on other pages you should set:
var tsaveState=1;
