Q: I'm using the deluxe-menu software on a asp.net 2.0 site that utilizes master-pages. On everypage that is in the root directory the javascript for menu loads fine, but if the page is up a directory the main images for the menu don't display.
Have you had any customers with this same problem? If so any help you could offer would be appreciated, thanks!
A: Try to use absolute paths, for example:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.js"></script>
and in your data file set:
var pathPrefix_img="https://www.watchguardsales.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link="https://www.watchguardsales.com/";Q: I am using the tree menu script in a frameset, and I would like for the selected menu branch to stay highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window(where the menu brings up a new page),just so the user knows where he/she is.
Is that possible?
A: But if you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

I click on a menu item of the javascript tree view and go to a new page?
A: There is no need to write additional code on a server side to remember what items were expanded/collapsed.
DHTML Tree Menu can save items state automatically.
Please, see the example of the menu that works with cookies:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html
Set the following parameter:
var tsaveState = 1;
and the menu remembers its structure for each user who visit your page.
Try to expand/collapse items. Then reload the page and you'll see results.
Q: The home page of our website uses java script dhtml. The error comes up when attempting to select a tab for the first time; subsequent selections are fine. The error is something about an object being null. Probably just need to modify a function to test for null, but can't read the .js file because its obfuscated.
A: You should set the following java script dhtml parameter.
var bselectedSmItem=0;
There are no subitems in your menu.
