Q: Please check my site and tell me why website drop down menu show no content with IE7 (XP or Vista.)
It works with all other major browsers and OS's.

A: Delete "height: 0%;" parameter from the style of the content DIV:

<div id="content1" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; display: none;" class="tabPage">

So you'll have:

<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; display: none;" class="tabPage">

Q: I am having some difficulty dynamically adding items to a tree javascript and menu.

I have a menu with one "root" item. I see the use of the "+" symbol within the item name. I do not see any documentation regarding this symbol, only "|". Can you explain?

If I have one menu with this one "root" node, how would I add an subitem to this root node?

Here is my code so far, but the inserted items appear to be at the same level as the root node.

  var rootItem = dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex ( 0,0 );

  var menuItem = new Array(10);
for (   var i = 0; i < producers.length; i++ )
{
  var producer = producers[ i ];
menuItem[0] = producer.name;

dtreet_ext_insertItem ( 0, 0, i + 1, menuItem );

A: See dtreet_ext_insertItem () function has the following parameters:

function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)

Creates a new item and inserts it into a specified position.
menuInd - index of a javascript and menu on a page, >= 0.
parentItemID - ID property of an item.<, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a new item within the javascript and menu, >= 0.
itemParams - item parameters.

Notice that parentItemID is the Id property of the parent item (notindex). If you want to add top items you should set parentItemID=0.

itemInd - you should use this parameter if you want to add item in thespecific place, for example set itemInd=5 if you want to add itembefore the existing item with itemInd=5.
If you set itemInd=null the new item will be added at the end of this submenu and its index will be added automatically.



Q: I'm trying to position my menus inside absolutely positioned <DIV> tags. If the <DIV> tag has style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;" in the actual tag, deluxe-menu seems to work correctly. If I have the "position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;" in a <STYLE> tag or a linked stylesheet and applied using id or class selectors, then deluxe-menu does not work correctly: sub menus have a 100pixel offset in the y direction and a 50 pixel offset in the x direction. This is with no change to the .js data file (I have absolutePos=0;) Is this a known issue, and is it planned to be fixed?


A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.

Please, try to add your

css file -> inline css, for example:

For example, you should add style="position:absolute;"

to the

<DIV id=head>

So, you'll have:

<DIV id=head style="position:absolute;">
Now we have only such solution for this problem.
We'll try to fix this problem in the future versions.
