Q: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.
You will see that on the horizontal menu,
Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire
These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.
A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],
First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.
See, how you should write your menuItems:
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],

Q: A question: How do I make it show all the drop down dhtml menu items rather than having them pop up?
eg:
- Item 1
- sub item 1
- sub item 2
- sub item 3
A: You cannot expand items by default in Deluxe Menu. You should hoverover menu to open submenus.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree.
To expand specific items in Deluxe Tree you should add + sign beforeitem's text or set the following parameter to expand all drop down dhtml items bydefault:
var texpanded = 1;
Q: I've seen, that it's possible to open the linked contents for the javascript floating menu in the same or in a new window or in a frame ,but is it possible, too, to generate a new tab?Open a new tab seems to be less risky ... is there any solution to beused with Drop Down Menu? I tried to use "_tab" instead of "_self" or"_parent", but it did not work!
A: You should use _blank.
If your browser supports tabs your link will beopened in a new tab (except IE, in IE it will be opened in a newwindow).Q: I've bought your products and I love them.
Now I need help on this:
When a specific webpage is loaded in the browser, how is it done, that the tree is expanded to the right state? I do not mean, when you have clicked the javascript animated menu – but when visitors come from external links on the webpage, I want to show the correct javascript animated menu-state opened.
Thank you very much for your help.
A: You should use API functions in that case
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
