Q: We have been using a free javascript for a couple of years but now we would like to have a functionality that our existing js is missing.
Basically, we need the ordinary tree view javascript with "+" and "-" that highlights the node clicked. No problem with that I suppose... BUT, we have a bunch of pages with internal links, linking the visitor to other pages within the site (i.e. they don't have to use the leftside tree navigation). What I want is that the navigation js recognizes that a page loads without any node has been clicked, and automagically expands the nav tree and highlights the node for that page.
No AJAX, no XML, no php or asp, just plain HTML + JS is a requirement from our customers.
Is that possible with any of your products...?
A: Yes it is possible with Deluxe Tree.

I searched the FAQ on your site and it gave me something about "Special Parameters" that didn't make sense to me...
A: You should 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.
Q: Both arrow types are visible when my intranet first loads and when I select a top item that is a direct link to a page.
But, as soon as I select any item from a list of sub items that includes subitems with arrows,
the arrow images disappear from vertical menu until I refresh the site.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.Q: Is there a way to get rid of the spacing on the main menu?
A: Try to set this parameter:
var itemSpacing="0";
