Q: Where can I change the font size in the main deluxe menu's (i.e. Products, About, Contact Us)?
Using the deluxe tuner doesn't allow me change this font or the size, so the submenu's are bigger than the top.
A: You can also check Individual Item Styles. May be you set font sizefor the top items using Individual Item Styles.
Q: Please identify the parameter I need to set to produce ... Tree menu items start out as normal text , then Bold text for tree menu items on the onmouseover event . After mouse out, text returns to normal.
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
var tmenuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Please, notice also that you should add this function every time whenyou change your menu in Deluxe Tuner application, as Tuner deletesthis function.

Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying drop down menus with the JavaScript API?
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: > You should call the following function:
> dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 12)
> where 12 - is index of the item.
How would I know that 12 is the index of the item? How is itemInd different from its itemID? I assume the menuInd is always 0 for the first menu (or only in my case) menu on a page?
A: Yes, menuInd is the number of the menu on your page (in your casemenuInd=0).
itemInd is the number of the item in your menuItems, for example:
var tmenuItems =
[
["Home", "http://deluxe-tree.com", "icon1_t.gif", "icon1_to.gif","", "Home Page Tip","_blank"],//itemInd=0
["<img src='data_files/images/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],//itemInd=1
["+What's New<br><span id='letter'>This is pretty cool. I need to buy this deluxe menu</span>", "", "icon2_t.gif", "icon2_to.gif", "", "Product Info Tip"],//itemInd=2
["|What's New", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=3
["|Features", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=4
["|Installation", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=5
["|Functions", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=6
["|Supported Browsers", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=7
["Samples", "", "icon3_t.gif", "icon3_to.gif", "", "Samples Tip"], //itemInd=8
["|Sample 1", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=9
["|Sample 2", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=10
["|Sample 3", "", ""], //itemInd=11
