Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.

I have two problems I am trying to address.

1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.

2) Load time.

Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.

1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.

2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.

Neither one of my commands appear to work.

This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.

A: 1) Now you have:

  var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];

You should set your arrows in the following way:

  var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];

2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

http://deluxe-menu.com/ajax-technology-menu-sample.html

You can also try the following things:

move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:

<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>

...

<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>

It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.



Q: I use menu with color graphic buttons, I believe the color buttons locate in @BOOK1\@Test_BOOK1.files.
At this directory level(please look in Book1.zip), the display is OK,

However, if I click on "06) Introduction.to.Small-Signal.Amplifiers\<>>(06_IT.htm)" to move to the next level, the color buttons will not display properly.

Can I set pointer that tells file 06_IT.htm that I have "@Test_BOOK1.files" in "@BOOK1" folder?


A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:

  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
  var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";

  var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];

So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html

Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif

Please, try to use these parameters.


Q: Do I need to replace the menudir/ in the code with the name of the folder I have placed the .js files?


A: Yes, you should change the name of the folder.

If you have, for example such file structure:

deluxe-menu_files/
    dmenu.js
    data.js
images/
html_pages/
    page1.html
    page2.html

index.html

So, you should install your menu in the following way:
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "deluxe-menu_files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/data.js"></script>
</body>
</span>

Q: I've looked through the FAQ's till my eyes burned... I know how to collapse/expand all on page load, but can't find an answer to this specific question

I am using tsaveState=1 and tcloseExpanded=1 and that works great when navigating the javascript vertical tree menu. But I'd like to be able to tell the javascript vertical tree menu to collapse all the way on the initial page load, without resetting those first two variables.

for instance;

a user logs on, goes to the order page, uses the menu to navigate and place an order. After the order is processed through a php verification page, the user is directed back to the order page via the php header() function, with the menu still intact, and the values of the order updated.

But once the user navigates away from the order page, and then returns to complete another order, I'd like the menu items to all be collapsed.

If that's not an inherent design of your menu program, is there a variable that I can pass with the initial load that will cause a full collapse?

A: No, unfortunately there is no such parameter in Deluxe Tree.

But you can try to delete
  var tsaveState=1;
parameter from your data file and add it on your html page directly.

So, on your initial page you can set:
  var tsaveState=0;

and on other pages you should set:
  var tsaveState=1;
