Q: Using data-visa-5.js
Trying to get the menu to start collapsed rather than fully expanded.
Thought it was the var texpanded=0 setting but doesn't seem to have any effect.
A: See, when you set + sign before item's text that is mean that thisitem will be expanded.
Now you have:
["+ Home","index.php","","","Home","","","1",""],
["+ Current Weather","","","","Current Weather","","","1",""],
["|Hourly Forecast","index.php?forecast=avnmos&zipcode=55744&oc=mosview_option|forecast","","","Hourly Forecast",,,],
["|Warnings/Advisories","index.php?forecast=warnings&zipcode=55744","","","Warnings/Advisories",,,],

Q: What I would like is a link inside the popup window that closes the mouseover popup window. I tried moving the "close" link from the main page into the popup window html but I get a Javascript error when I click on that link.
A: See, if you load a different page in your popup window (iframe) suchlink won't work in it.
If you add the content of the mouseover popup window in DIV (so, it will be thesame page) such link will work.
Q: I am using XP style tree menu and would like to have top level menu item with no submenu items. However, the right double arrow icon still show up. Is there a way to hide it for the item without submenu items in css javascript tree menu?
See the attached document, I want to remove the double arrow icon at right for "Mission Statement", "History", "Direction" and "Contact Us".
Any help will be appreciated.
A: You can create Individual XP Style and use it for items with submenus:
var tXPExpandBtn=["left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif"];
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPExpandBtn=left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif"],
];
and assign this style for all top items with submenus:
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["+Company Profile","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
["|Item 25","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 26","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Projects","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
["|Item 27","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 28","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
Q: Greetings. How do I make a menu item as default selected and open when the page loads with the dhtml menu bar script? Thanks.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">dhtml menu bar script 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=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a dhtml menu bar script 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.
