Q: I have been evaluating your dhtml-tree product, for a potential use.
It does just about every thing I want apart from 1 thing:
I want each css dropdown menu item to (optionally) support the following syntax:
<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>
I have worked out how to change the "menu_link.html", and also that it could be something like "javascript:fnClickedLinked()".
However I want the above syntax, where search engines can pick up the link and if my function returns false, the link is not followed when clicked.
Is this possible?
Or can I cancel the link navigation using the tree API node click event??
A: Actually you can add the html code inside item's text:
["|<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>","", "", "", "", "Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to use API function:
function dtreet_ext_userClick (itemID)

and subsequent menu levels with the border?
If yes, would you provide technical assistance with the required code change?
A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];
And assign it for top items:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "deluxe-menu.files/icon2.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: Could you please tel me : How to use UN-Code on the item. I make some menu based on Farsi language ( Arabic) , but it does not work.
A: You're able to use any characters for Deluxe Menu in the same way asyou use them for standard html page.
The only issue is that submenus can be shown in incorrect positionwhen you're using dir=rtl for your page.
var dmRTL = 0;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.
Use also
var smViewType = 2;
for right-to-left languages.
Please, see example:
http://deluxe-menu.com/ways-showing-submenus-sample.html
This examples demonstrates how the menu can change a submenusdirection. Use var smViewType parameter to change a submenusdirection:
var smViewType = 0..3;
Values:
0 - from left to right;
1 - from left to right + upwards;
2 - from right to left;
3 - from right to left + upwards;
In Deluxe Menu when you call data .js file you can try to specify the encoding:
<script src="data.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Unfortunately, you can't use arabic characters in Deluxe Tuner application.
You should manually correct your code.
Q: How change the color of the link in the dhtml vertical menu if the link is already visited.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
butyou can highlight menu items in two ways:
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.
