Q: I activated option "state saving" but I think there's a problem;
when I open the website and click on an item of the menu, the pressed item becomes red
(up to now it's ok), but if I have topress F5 on the keyboard or press on the refresh button
to refresh the web page, the pressed item loses its color red.
I'd like the pressed item in the dhtml expand menu to maintain its color after the refresh command.
How can I solve this problem?
A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem 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 apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
Q: Is there any way to call a javascript function on mouseover from a menu item?
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')", , , , ,]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item. However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onMouseover='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];
Q: You've been helping me with some issues on the Deluxe Tree Menu system my company has purchased and most issues are resolved, so thank you! One big problem remains though and we can't seem to figure it out, so I hope you can help.
What we want is, when a user enters our site from the index (home) page then clicks on a link and the sub-page opens, for the dhtml menu tree to be open to the section the user is in and viewing. We also DO NOT want the browser to save the state of the menu, since that is inconsistent with where the user is in the site. Note: we do not use the Menu on the home page, is this a problem?
Per your tech support email, I've added the expand code, which works going from the home page to sub-pages. However, it interferes with navigating to other sub-pages once your in the site. The menu doesn't keep the section open, it closes back up. You mentioned the expand code has to be entered on every page....is that so in this instance and if so, that's a maintenance nightmare - does a better way exist for this type of menu?
Then we activated the "save state" option and the menu stays open on the sub-pages, but the expand option doesn't work.
It's like they cancel each other out and you can only have one or the other.
Can I get these two to work together? What do I need to do? Is it better to use the XP-style menu?
A: When user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page and the script re-create the dhtml menu tree.
If you want to open the needed section automatically on load you can use the following:
1. Save the state to cookies
2. Use frames
3. Put the special script on each page of site that will open appropriate section.

Q: I have a paid version of the menu, and I was trying to add the functionality of dynamically adding net dhtml menu item
When I added the code I get the following JS error,
menu is undefined in dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
function dm_ext_hideAllSubmenus(mInd){_dmsm(mInd);};function dm_ext_changeItem(m...
I copied the example from your site, just to see if I can use it.
What am I doing wrong?
A: See, we have two menus on the sample's page
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
That's why we write menuInd = 1
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, ...
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
But if you have only one menu you should write menuInd = 0
dm_ext_addItemPos(0, ...
dm_ext_addItem(0, ...
