Q: I am testing out your menu system as I try to redesign my site. It is a vertical menu with submenus.
I have hundreds of pages in my site and I'd like to be able to attach your menu system to all of them.
However, I will be making changes to the menu system on a regular basis.
I do not want to go change every program in the site each time I need to make a menu change.
I was hoping you could give me some kind of programming code that I could enter into the <body> section of my html files which would automatically read a file into my prograrm, which contained the menu code.
This way when a menu change is needed, I edit one file, all the programs read that file and display the menu.
As an example of the code I would want read into a webpage at start up:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/dmenu.js"></script>
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 9px Verdana;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" HREF="500main.htm">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" HREF="tixbbs.htm" TARGET="text">For Sale</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Place Ad</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">Sources</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
A: If you change the menu parameters only there is no need to change code on each page. You should only replace your old data file (data-deluxe-menu.js) with the new one.
If you don't want to install your menu on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Please, see more info about cross-frame mode here:

Also you can use a server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from templates on your server.

Q: Is there any way to have the browser reset the horizontal tree view to allcollapsed each time the browser is reopened?
A: You should set the following parameter in that case:
var tsaveState=0;Q: Is there any way to have a floating menu float in relation to the centre of the screen (not the left of the screen). I have a centre based website. When I use the floating menu and view the site on different screen sizes, the floating menu appears in different places on the x scale. For example, I would like it 20 percent from the edge of my centre based webpage, not 20 percent from the left of the screen. I want the menu to appear on the same horizontal place on my webpage (which is centre based)
A: No unfortunately it is not possible to write
var posX="50% - 20";
You should adjust your coordinates to center the menu with absoluteposition.
