Q: We are wanting to make this collapsible menu Dynamic by reading from a Microsoft SQL Data base.What is the approach in accomplishing this?

A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:


<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];


The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-loading-bar-MySQL-support.html

This example is not for Deluxe Tree menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.

Q: I activated option "state saving" but I think there's a problem;
when I open the website and click on an item of the menu, the pressed item becomes red
(up to now it's ok), but if I have topress F5 on the keyboard or press on the refresh button
to refresh the web page, the pressed item loses its color red.
I'd like the pressed item in the dhtml expand menu to maintain its color after the refresh command.
How can I solve this problem?



A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state.
It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)

<script type="text/javascript">

  var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{

dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));

}

</script>


Q: I never succeed to see the images in the dhtml menu examples using my default folder hierarchy (ie : a folder for the html files and a folder for the js files). The only way for me was to create the data.files folder in the html folder. It works but it does not follow my production standard. Did I forget something ?

A: You should set relative paths according to your html page.
For example, you have such file structure:
web-content/
   data/
     dmenu.js
     data.js
   Artwork/
     image.gif
     ...
   pages/
    1.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
    2.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
...

So in Deluxe Tuner you should open image.gif file.
You will have, for example:
d:\webpages\site\web-content\Artwork\image.gif

Then you should delete "d:\webpages\site1\web-content\" and add ../prefix. The path will be:

../Artwork/image.gif

You can also set path_prefix
  var pathPrefix_img = "../Artwork/";

Or you can try to use absolute paths, for example:
  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";



Q: We have a problem. If the "sub menus" open downward (in a horizontal menu) and there is Flash under it, the menu disappears. It goes BEHIND the flash and can't be seen.

Is there a fix for this?

I honestly don't recall it happening before but it now does. I probably didn't pay attention. Thank you!


A: Please, check that you've set the following parameter:

  var dmObjectsCheck=1;

Please, use dmenu_add.js file.For more info, please, see:http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html
