Q: I created a tree menu based on your template Vista Style 7.
I would like to know if there are some possibilities to set the x coordinate of the submenus. I would like to have a tree menu with submenus which are not moving to the right when expanding the main menu but staying under it.
A: You can only try to use the following parameter to change submenuposition:
var tlevelDX=0;
Q: Is it possible to use an external file with these applets? Have tried
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myscript.js">
</SCRIPT>
but it does not work!
Any suggestions? I have one site with many pages, it would be handy not to have to change 20 pages just to modify one link.
A: You can use "menuItemsFile" param, example
<param name="menuItemsFile" value="menu1.txt">
The menu menu items are in menu1.txt, so you'll need to changeonly this menu1.txt if it necessary to add/remove/change items.

Q: I'm having a problem displaying a little white icon arrow on my dhtml foldout menu. I us Adobe Dreamweaver to build my site. When previewing, I found that adding . /.. to the .js file works good and it displays the arrows. But when I Put the menu on the internet it goes back to displaying a blank box like it can t find it again. My menu is in my site's root directory, and I would like to control all my site's pages with it. I am going to have a basic template for the whole site with the dhtml foldout menu on it and I am to building all the pages from that.
If I don't change the link to ../../ the only pages that will work is the one that is in the same directory as my menu files.
A: Try to use absolute paths to your images on the website. Your menu will work correctly inall cases in that case.
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/";
var arrowImageMain=["data.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
var arrowImageSub=["data.files/arr_white_1.gif",""];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/data.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
var arrowImageSub=["http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/data.files/arr_white_1.gif",""]; 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>
