Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so that a vertical menu selection stays 'on'? In other words, the vertical menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. 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-level menu.
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: I am new for this recently i downloaded this deluxe-menu trial version.
Can u please explain javascript expand menu (mene, table look like vista) creation and implement in html files, asp.net, php briefly.
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.htmlhttp://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.htmlYou can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML.
So, you'll have folder with all engine files and images("deluxe-menu.files/" folder by default), deluxe-menu.html file anddata-deluxe-menu.js file with all menu parameters.
Open deluxe-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows ofcode into your page (for example index.html page of your website).
Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a><</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var WorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data-deluxe-menu.js"></script></td></tr> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file createdin Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
and data-deluxe-menu.js file into the same folder with your index.html page.
Try that.

http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.htmlQ: I have tried various different ways, but I cannot get a separator image I have specified in the Separators section of javascript menu builder to display. I have verified that the image exists, but still nothing. The rest of the menu works perfectly. Any help will be appreciated.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||-"],
["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],
Try that. You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.Q: I have 2 questions about this script I would like to find out before purchasing:
1. Does it support 3rd and 4th level java script navigation menu?
2. How customizable is it style-wise, meaning, I have images I want used for the top level navigation, and background images for the rest. Any way I can achieve this?
A: 1) Yes, you can add as many levels in the java script navigation menu as you want.
2) Actually you can create any java script navigation menu with Deluxe Menu. You can use Individual Styles tocreate your menu. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma", "fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBackImage=back.gif","menuBorderWidth=0", "itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
];
Please, try the trial version and check menu parameters. Use DeluxeTuner to create your menu.
