Q: How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?
I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 ( www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start designing with your product.
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
Deluxe Menus weren't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.

Q: I am testing it on my website.
I have under the submenu 'Generalites" two links "Presentation" and "Formulaires"
I would like when I click on what ever link on the expandable javascript menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background.
For exemple:
If I click on link Presentation then this link will become in a different color and also its background.
Then If I click on Formulaire the prevous link is reset and the Formulaire link appears in a differemt color and its backgroud. How should I do it ?
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a pressed
item 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 dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
Q: Is there any way to have a floating menu float in relation to the centre of the screen (not the left of the screen). I have a centre based website. When I use the floating menu and view the site on different screen sizes, the floating menu appears in different places on the x scale. For example, I would like it 20 percent from the edge of my centre based webpage, not 20 percent from the left of the screen. I want the menu to appear on the same horizontal place on my webpage (which is centre based)
A: No unfortunately it is not possible to write
var posX="50% - 20";
You should adjust your coordinates to center the menu with absoluteposition.
