Q: My menus work fine on IE7 and earlier and other browsers. However I tested the java hover menu with Internet Explorer 8 beta and errors are sometimes thrown.
I tried viewing your site with IE8 – which didn't work with IE8 a few weeks ago but I notice everything works now.
Do you know what might causing the problems?
A: We're planning the full support for IE8 as well as for all major browsers.
All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
Q: I have a javascript menu codes that I change dynamically with dm_ext_changeItem.
When I converted it to a popup window, dm_ext_changeItem does not seem to work. Is this a bug?
A: See in the popup menu you should write submenuInd+1:
dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd+1, itemInd, iParams)
Q: Is this tag necessary?
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="scripts/";</script>
Because Dreamweaver will not automatically update the path when the directory changes, (won't change from scripts/ to ../scripts).
A: Yes, it is a necessary tag.
Your menu won't work correctly without this tag.
Q: I'm loving your product! It has definitely made my life easier.
I do have a question however. I know if I put a "+" in front of the title, the category will be expanded by default.
["+PRODUCTS","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Is there a way to do that dynamically? Maybe have some code that would tell the sliding tree menu to expand on that particular page?
A: On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>
