Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
 When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting. 
 Please let me know. Thanks!
 
A:  The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future. 
You can 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: I have not seen anything that can help me in the question list and would like to ask how to have a mouseover drop down menu closed by default. I know that by preceding it with a '+' has it open and had assumed that removing it would close it, but it does not seem to do this. 
 Where in the scripts do I need to change this value and will this be updated in the future?
A: You should delete "+" signs in the top items and set the followingparameter:
  var texpanded=0;
Q: I have setup some tabs on a site that I am designing and for some reason when i click on a tab and it links to another page it automatically highlights the first tab in the row.
  I have triedfiddling with it and have not been able to figure it out.  Can someone point me in the right direction to have the correct tab selected in the css tab menu after i click it and goto the page.
 
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left> 
/* Select Tab */ 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> 
   var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>; 
   var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?> 
 </script> 
 <SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
 </TD> 
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left> 
/* Select Tab */ 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> 
   var bselectedItem=4; 
   var bselectedSmItem=3; 
 </script> 
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
 </TD> 
</span>
