Q: I have been mostly creating my menus by starting with a template file that has the features I need, and then modifying that file by hand (as opposed to using the Tuner program). In this case I am using data-vista-01.js.
When I load my html file that has references to the necessary resources (e.g. .js, gif, etc) in a directory that has the Images folder and Menu folder copied directly from the installed Deluxe Menu program directories, I get what I want.
This is perfect. But I think to myself, surely I don't need all the .js files from the Menu directory, nor do I need all the .gif files from the Images directory, so I started deleting those files one at a time, until I got to the point where Images contained only the Vista1 folder + the empty.gif file, and the Menu folder contained only dmenu.js. My menu now not working.
I'm guessing that some graphic files need to draw the top-level menu bar are missing. But which ones?
So my question is, what files do I really need? Is this something the documentation describes, and if so where?
I hope I don't have to include the full contents of the Menu and Images folder, as they are quite large.
A: Unfortunately, you should add all need images manually.
We'll try to correct it soon.
You can open your data.js file and see what images you're using in themenu and copy tese images into your folder.
You should also change the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="";
There is no need to use all engine files for the menu.
Description of files you can find here:

Q: Could I use the javascript menu system tab with ASP pages.
A: Deluxe Tabs is a javascript menu system. It works on aclient side and doesn't depend on server-side implementation.
So there is no limitation for server-side scripting.
Q: For each item in my menu, can I specify an image in place of text or background?
A: If you want to use images instead item text, you should useindividual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=200", "itemBackImage=image1.gif,image2.gif"], // style 0
["itemWidth=150", "itemBackImage=image3.gif,image4.gif"], // style 1
];
var menuItems = [
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0"],
[" ", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "1"],
];
Where "0", "1" - style number in itemStyles.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner application to create and assign individualstyles. You can find Deluxe Tuner in the trial package.
Q: I have two question for now...
Where can I change the word "loading" during ajax is loading the submenu?????
Is state saving of javascript based tree just for the first level??? Does it works for the AJAX submenus?
The reason why I switch to treemenu is the possibility of state saving!
A: I've just checked your website and save state feature works fine for the ajax submenus.
Actually we've added this feature in v3.2.7 of Deluxe Tree.
