Q: I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript menu, an item that was selected.
So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu
and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?


A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

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">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=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 menu 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.




Q: I'd like to buy a template for creating a basic vertical javascript popout menu that is image based. Can you tell me which of your products I should consider buying? I'm familiar with html, but not other programming languages.

A: If you want to create javascript popout menu you should buy Deluxe Menu,
http://deluxe-menu.com

See the example here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/image-based-menu-sample.html

You can also use your own images for the menu items.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]

Please, try the trial version at first. It has full functionality.



Q: I'm trying to set the frame parameters to frame name body. I have tried seven different text items: body, _body, frame name=body, framename=body, "framename=body", the relative URL, and the exact URL in the titemTarget parameter (common parameters). Nothing seems to work. It always sets the target to a new window. What text do I need to enter for the default parameter to be the body frame target?

Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus? There doesn't seem to be a halfway point. Either all the menus are open, or all closed. If I set the default to hidden, it is non-functional. If I set it to expanded, that's not what I'm looking for either.

The menu looks good; other than these two problems it is functioning properly.


A: Please, check the following parameter:

  var titemTarget="framename";

You can also set item target for each item
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],

Try that.

> Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus?
You want to expand only the main items when you load your page?

If it is so you can set expanded items by default.

If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.

["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ], // this item is expanded by default
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
 ["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif",
"default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ], // this subitem is not expanded by default


Q: What is the difference between itemStyles and menuStyles for the down javascript menu?

A: See you should assign the menuStyles to the whole submenu (the first item in the submenu).
itemStyles you should assign for each item individually.
