Q: I already have your product. I need to know if I can call js functions using the .js file in java menu sample.
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
Q: I need to set individual itemtargets for a number of menu script items......

menuitem_1 targets the Main frame..
menuitem_2 ..
SUBmenuitem_2_(1) targets the Top frame..
SUBmenuitem_2_(2) targets the Main frame..
menuitem_3 ..
SUBmenuitem_3_(1) targets the Main frame..
SUBmenuitem_3_(2) targets the Bottom frame..
menuitem_4 targets the Main frame..
Is this possible?

var itemTarget="_blank";
or
var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the main frame where you want to open the link.

Q: How do your users normally indicate which page a web visitor is on, by using your navigation bar submenu?
A: 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, for
example:
<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.
