Q: Using data-visa-5.js
Trying to get the menu to start collapsed rather than fully expanded.
Thought it was the var texpanded=0 setting but doesn't seem to have any effect.
A: See, when you set + sign before item's text that is mean that thisitem will be expanded.
Now you have:
["+ Home","index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["+ Current Weather","","","","Current Weather","","","1",""],
["|Hourly Forecast","index.php?forecast=avnmos&zipcode=55744&oc=mosview_option|forecast","","","Hourly Forecast",,,],
["|Warnings/Advisories","index.php?forecast=warnings&zipcode=55744","","","Warnings/Advisories",,,],
["|Special Weather Alerts","index.php?config=&forecast=special&zipcode=55744","","","Special Weather Alerts",,,],
["|Live Weather","javascript:open('../../wxflash/index.htm','_blank')","","","Live Weather",,,],
["+ WeatherForum","/forum/index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["+ Weather Cams","","","","Weather Cams","","","1",""],
["|RapidsCam East","javascript:open_win('../../webcam/eastcam.asp',335,270,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,'cameast');","","","RapidsCam East",,,],

["+ Weather Maps","","","","Weather Maps","","","1",""],
Delete + signs from your items:
[" Home","index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],

Q: I would like to purchase your software but not for web use. We often give out data cd's to our brokers for instance data management/finding. Your software with the custom menu system and ease of use to setup is just what I need to cut down my design time. But looking at your license agreement you require us to register it to a domain or intranet domain which this will not be on.
I am looking to create a menu system then burn it to a cd to allow people to carry it around with them. What do i register the domain as so that I am able to burn this to cd and they don't get a nag screen when with a client or briefing.
Thank you in advance
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
To use Deluxe Menu on CD/DVD you should buy developerlicense. Other licenses allow you to use the menu on Internet/Intranetwebsites only.
Q: I've been using your application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu source.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a dynamic drop down menus with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
