Q: I've bought your products and I love them.
Now I need help on this:
When a specific webpage is loaded in the browser, how is it done, that the tree is expanded to the right state? I do not mean, when you have clicked the javascript animated menu – but when visitors come from external links on the webpage, I want to show the correct javascript animated menu-state opened.
Thank you very much for your help.
A: You should use API functions in that case
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)

Q: Do you plan to implement a fix in the cross browser drop down menu for the pointer - many of our users have complained that it is very un-intuitive - surely it must be possible to change the pointer to a hand if there is a link. I have tried putting <a> tags in to the menu labels, but it only changes to a hand if the actual label text is highlighted - it obviously should change whichever part of the box is highlighted? Is there no other workaround?
A: If you set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
You'll have the mousepointer being a hand for all itemsin the menu.
Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: Could you please explain how to increase the height of our javascript menu submenu links to 18 or 20 px each?
A: You can create Individual submenu style and assign it to the firstitem in each submenu.
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=1","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
["itemPadding=5px 2px 5px 2px"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Advanced Taser Guns","http://www.defenseproducts101.com/tasers.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Advanced Taser Guns","http://www.defenseproducts101.com/tasers.html", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", ], //assign style
Q: Can title attributes be added to a drop down menu html code?

[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
