Q: Can I ask a technical question? I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the drop down menu selected branch to sty 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>

Example:
http://deluxe-tree.com/highlight-selected-menu-item-sample.htmlQ: The problem that I am still experiencing (Im sure I have missed something obvious!) - is that all the pages open when you click on the relevant links but they always open with the "About Us" tab showing and then as soon as you click on a different tab you see it highlight for a second and then it just reverts back to the About Us tab even though the page has changed. As the site opens I obviously want the first tab to be highlighted as opposed to the 2nd one and the each page highlights and holds as you go through the menu.
A: See, you set
var bselectedItem=2;
That is why "About us" tab is selected.
You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call tabs-kasper.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from tabs-kasper.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
You can also set on every page before you call tabs-kasper.js file(for example, for solution tab).
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Try that.
Q: I see one of the styles of tabs that Deluxe tabs can create is vertical ones, however, they appear just to be the floating type with images. I'd like a more traditional looking of javascript menu source code, non-floating tab to sit vertically. Is that possible with your software?
A: If you don't want that your Tabs Menu float you should set thefollowing javascript menu source code parameter:
var bfloatable=0;
Q: Can you explain website drop down menu creation and implement in html files?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
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" on the 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.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You 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 and
data-deluxe-menu.js file with all menu parameters.
Open deluxe-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows of
code 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" 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
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.
