Q: I already found out the use of the pressedItem setting. However Iwas looking to be able to have a submenu in the html dropdown menu already expanded on pageload. Can you tell me if this is possible yet in any way ?
A: You can find the example here
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Click on the following link:
Highlight "Product Info/Installation/Description of Files" item.
Use the following function to highlight items
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion, parentOpen)
where parentOpen = true/false - open all submenus to show the selected item

Q: We are having a bit of trouble with your menu, when you go down into a sub menu, and then back to the item that called it, the sub menu expands.
For example, if i have this menu structure
File
     New
     Save
     Exit
When i MouseOver New and then MouseOver File, the menu containing New, Save and Exit will grow. If i keep doing this then the menu will continue to expand horizontally.
I know its something we have done, since there doesn't seem to be a problem on your site, its just i don't know what it is
A: Rozi, we heard about such problems. I suppose that you see such effectin IE.
Please, try not to use shadow in the menu.
Please, set this parameter:
var shadowLen=0;
We'll correct this bug soon.
Try also write all units in "px", for example:
var itemPadding = "3px";
Q: We are facing some problem, in our css drop menu. Please Advise -
When we used "Helvetica" font in deluxe menu, the css drop menu expand, if the above font not installed in user machine.
I would please request you to kindly assist me on the same as the client is getting impatient.
A: It is normal behaviour if there is no such font on the user machine.
You can try to write fonts in the following way:
"fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'"
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=top.files/,top.files/menuhoverbg.gif","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, , Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
["itemBackColor=#504B48,#7E7666","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#ffffff"],
];
Find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font will be Trebuchet MS.
You should choose the second font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
