- Horizontal or vertical orientation - Filters and Transitional effects - Unlimited number of sub levels - Cross-frame support - menus work on frameset-based pages - Several menus on one page - Items with icons - Status string shows item labels - Transition #14 - "fade out" effect
Submenus drop down over all the objects of the page (select, flash, object, embed, applet). If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object, the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
These effects will make your menu more attractive and stylish. You can cast a shadow on the menu and submenus, set transparency. Among available transitional effects there are such as fade, mosaic, random dissolve, slide out and many others.
Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!

    1.2 For other OS users       a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.       b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:

Q: I have just downloaded your trial version and am trying to use delux tuner using the windows xpstyle template. I can only seem to get the top button showing as grey but can change colors of submenus in dhtml xml menu. Am I missing something? ?ow do I get the top button showing the same as submenu buttons.
A:To change submenu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2"; var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
and Individual Submenu Style:
var menuStyles = [ ["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"], ];
For the top items you should change Individual Item style:
var itemStyles = [ ["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"], ];
Q: I would like when I click on what ever link of the php dhtml menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background
A:Deluxe Tree doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
