Q: I have a couple of questions related to the deluxe-menu software. Here they are:

I have been working with on a site and I am kind stack using the program. I want to use the tree option but not all java script drop menu items need to have subcategories. For example:

Category 1

      Sub-menu 1-1

      Sub-menu 1-2

      Sub-menu 1-3

Category 2

      Sub-menu 2-1

      Sub-menu 2-2

      Sub-menu 2-3

Category 3

Category 4 When someone click on the "Category 1" or "Category 2", I want them to see the sub-menus. However, when some click on "Category 3" or "Category 4", I would like to have it open the appropriate page. How do I do this? This will make a lot easier because not all java script drop menu items need to have sub-menus… I hope that makes sense and you can help me on getting this done.



Thanks in advance and looking forward to your answers,

A: You cannot use links for the top java script drop menu items in XP Style only.

  var tXPStyle=1;

but you can write:

["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com'>Item 45</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],



Q: I would like, that not only the text is represented differently when dhtml nav menu item is expanded, also the Icon separates before it at the side where I am.

iconarrs.gif is not right
iconarrs_aktiv.gif is right

How do I solve that?

A: You should set arrow for expanded state

   ["||Seite 1","seite1.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs_aktiv.gif", "Seite 1", "_self", "", "", "", ],
   ["||Seite 2","seite2.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs_aktiv.gif", "Seite2", "_self", "", "", "", ],
   ["||Seite 3","seite3.htm", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs.gif", "", "deluxe-tree.files/iconarrs_aktiv.gif", "Seite3", "_self", "", "", "", ],




Q: Hi there, hope someone could help me out.

We have recently purchased your menu product, and I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript slide menu, the root node 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?

I am not sure how else to phrase this question and hope this makes sense. You help will be appreciated.

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 Slide 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 want to have the dhtml popup display as you mouse over an image - is this possible?

A: Yes you can do it. Use smOrientation parameter in Individual Submenu Styles:

  var menuStyles = [
["smOrientation=0"], //id=0
];

Assign it to the first item in third submenu:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
   ["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ],
