Q: Please tell me where I am going wrong:
The menu is all messed up!
A: See, now you have:
var itemBackImage=["data.files/btn_green.gif","data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif"];
and you also assign Individual Item Style with itemBackImage anditemWidth parameters for each item
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#000000,#000000",
"itemBackImage=data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif,data.files/btn_white_white.gif"],
];
var menuItems = [
["projects","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["FMWR","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["general water info","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["bulletin board","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["WSS MDG tracking","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["reform instruments","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
You should delete itemBackImage and itemWidth parameters from itemStyles.
Q: I am thinking of purchasing your javascript menu creator. I have a question about a single use license. I have two computers my home desktop and my laptop that I travel with. Since I would be the only user would I be able to put a copy of javascript menu creator on each computer?
A: You can install Deluxe Menus on unlimited number of computers.
With Single Website license your reg. key will work on the registereddomain only.

Q: How do I disable the menu link for the page that is currently being displayed? I don’t the menu item removed, I just want the link to be inactive and possibly a different color.
A: To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
The example you can find on our site

Q: I downloaded the free trial version and so far it looks like we can do everything. I have a couple questions:
the designer wants it so that when any of the submenu choice are selected, the main main menu in java item should be highlighted when the submenu page is displayed (kind of a breadcrumb). So, is there any way to change the background image of one of the main menu items after the menu loads? I haven't tried running my main menu in java in a webpage yet so I'm not sure if you generate a separate CSS file or put all of the settings into a STYLE= attribute of each tag.
A: The main menu in java 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.
