Q: I would like to open some javascript menu drop items in a JavaScript popup window of a certain size using something like this code:
window.open("FileName.asp,"PopName","scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1, directories=0,menubar=0,width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100");
How can I do that?
A: I'm not sure I understand about what product you're saying. Could youclarify this?
You can write any HTML code within menuItems (Deluxe Menu):
["Home","javascript:window.open('FileName.asp,'PopName','scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1, directories=0,menubar=0,width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100')", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<a href="javascript:window.open('FileName.asp,'PopName', 'scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1,directories=0,menubar=0, width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100')">Product Info</a>","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I am using the tree menu script in a frameset, and I would like for the selected menu branch to stay highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window(where the menu brings up a new page),just so the user knows where he/she is.
Is that possible?
A: But 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>

I have to override it. Is there a way to prevent this so my customers don't get this message, or will it go away when I post it to my domain?
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: How do I set the width of sub menu items to be the same width as the parent horizontal dhtml menu item? I can see how to set a px or % width, and when the at least one sub menu item exceeds the parent item the the entire menu stretches to that width (which is fine), but what about the instance where the sub menu items are not as wide as the parent item - in this case, the sub menu is not as wide as the parent item, which looks odd. Is there any way to force it to be (at least) the same width as the parent item?
I hope this is all clear to you, if not, please give me a shout for clarification.
A: You can set exact width for your top items using Individual Item Styles and set submenu width usingIndividual Submenu Style.
You should also set the following parameter:
var noWrap=0;
