Q: Is it possible to add a combo box or a search field to a tree view component?

A: You can paste any html code inside item's text, for example:

["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
 ["|Index  <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'><option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3</select>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
 ["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>  <input type=button value='Go'style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],

Q: Is it possible to insert a dhtml foldout menu item at the top of the submenu? For example, if a dhtml foldout menu is defined as:

  var menuItems = [
["Search","","","","","","1","0"],
 ["|Residential","srch.php","","","","","0"],
 ["|VacantLand","srch.php?cri","","","","","0"],
 ["|Commercial/Industrial","srch.php","","","","","0"]];

How can I add a new item above “Residential?” I’ve tried the following with no luck — the forth argument does not seem to be used:

dm_ext_addItem(0, 1, ["New Sample", "testlink.htm", "", "", "Your Sample Tooltip", "middle", 0], 0)

A: To insert item in the specific position you should use thefollowing function:

function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)



Q: I have a problem...
On some computers running IE the menu appears and works correctly, on others it doesn't appear.
There is only a line that says JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com.
Both of these computers have the same version of IE running. I have reset the security levels back to default levels on both. Still the menu doesn't appear.
For all practical purposes both copies of IE are the same.


A: You should change your security settings in IE to allow Javascript onpages you load. In other case you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

You can also use Deluxe Tuner application that allows you to generate additional html code for search engine that can't parse Javascript. So, you can use menu links on browsers that doesn't have Javascript support enabled.


Q: Thanks for your reply, I have another question as follow, I find the tree menu just expand one tree item, if I have expanded one tree when I click it, whether I click another tree to expand it's item and the before expanded tree are maintain expanded, I don't want to close it?

A: Use the following parameters:

  var tcloseExpanded = 0; - Enables the mode when 1 item only can be expanded.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled.

  var tcloseExpandedXP = 0; - Enables the mode when 1 submenu only can be expanded (XP-style).
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled.

You can also try to set the following parameter:

  var texpandItemClick = 1; - 0 - expand items on a [+]-button click only;
1 - expand items on a mouse click.
