Q: Is it possible to use an external file with these applets? Have tried
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myscript.js">
</SCRIPT>
but it does not work!
Any suggestions? I have one site with many pages, it would be handy not to have to change 20 pages just to modify one link.
A: You can use "menuItemsFile" param, example
<param name="menuItemsFile" value="menu1.txt">
The menu menu items are in menu1.txt, so you'll need to changeonly this menu1.txt if it necessary to add/remove/change items.

Q: I can’t seem to figure out how to keep last clicked item in my java menu script marked.
I use these options:
pressedItem = -1
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
Where and how do I determine the background color of the clicked item?
I also have this problem on Deluxe Tree.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: Using the example menu you have, how do i make the sub-menu for the 'Sample' menu item a multi-column and leave the 'Product Info' menu item as is.
I only want certain sub-menus to have multi-columns. I don't want all menu items to have a multi-column sub.
A: Please, see the attached example.
You should use individual styles.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2"],
["smColumns=1"], //style 1
];
...
["More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "1", , ], //assign style 1
Try that.
Q: I downloaded the tuner and am testing the file prior to purchasing. Is there a way to set up categories and beneath those categories there are subitems...then depending on what page I am on in the website, the appropriate category and subitems automatically show up in the javascript tree view menu?
If so, can you please tell me where and how to setup a menu if it's just changing a variable. Maybe you have an example of the web?
Here's an example of what we are needing. If you open your website http://deluxe-tree.com/samples-sample.html there are 2 sep. menus, one at the top and one on the side.
If I click Samples on the top menu, the samples submenu should automatically expand on the javascript tree view menu. How would I set this up?
A: See how you should highlight and expand the selected items here:

I'm sending you the example.
