Q: I have made a horizontal menu that have different colors for different pages. What I'm not figuring out is out to make the current page be the reversed color state? This page should actually have the "images" highlighted. I'm using the Deluxe Tuner plus deluxe-menu+deluxe-tree+deluxe-tabs-trial.exe.
A: Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
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.
You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: Will html navigation bar work with site created using FrontPage?
A: Yes, Deluxe CSS Menu will work fine with site created in Frontpage.
Add all code generated by Deluxe Tuner.
You should copy all css styles for the menu and add it into your own .css file (orcreate a new .css file for the menu and call it on your page).
Then copy all HTML code for the menu and paste it in the place where you want to have amenu.
To view css styles and html code click "View HTML" button on the Preview window in theDeluxe Tuner.
Q: I'm using your menu for my customers.
IHtml menu script works really great but since your last updates I'm really missing the parameter smviewtype=3, so I can have a subnavigation going other direction as usual.
Since you had this feature build in I choosed your menu and did a lot of programming, to get it integrated into contenido cms system.
I would be very pleased, if you could help me on this point.
A: You should set the way you show submenus using subMenuAlign and subMenuVAlign parameters.See more info here:

Is that possible?
A: If you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>
