Q: I am having a problem creating a submenu. I did not get any js errors but nothing happens.

What I have found is that even when I have dynamic=1;
I was getting an error saying object expected so I added the dmenu_dyn.js manually (i.e. <scripttype="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>) but now get no errors but no submenu is created.

Do I have to add all the js files in the menu folder manually as I thought it was just
<scripttype="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu.js"></script>
that was needed.

All, I am trying to add a submenu under the challenge topmenu.

function addChallengeItems(){

dm_ext_createSubmenu(0, 0, 3, ['Buy Deluxe Menu Now!', "order-deluxe-menu-purchase.html", "", "", "Buy Deluxe Menu Now!", "_blank"]);

}

And then a href that calls addChallengeItems()
<ahref="javascript:addChallengeItems();">add</a>


A: There is no need to add all engine files into your menu folder.
You can add only
dmenu.js
dmenu_dyn.js

More info about Description of Files you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/description-of-files-info.html

Please delete also the following line from your code
<script type="text/javascript"src="../../Javascript/menu/dmenu_dyn.js"></script>

Try that.


Q: I am trying to have the selected top menu w dhtml item remain on the mouseover event after it is selected. It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal. How do i get this to work.

I tried removing the variable from the data file and calling it using
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">   var pressedItem=set 1,2,3 depending on page </script>
but this does not seem to work as it does for tabs.

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe 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">menu w dhtml 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: Which parameters do I change so that the background of the top level menu names change their background?


A: If you want to change the background of the top level menu items onlyyou should use Individual Item Styles and change them.

For example, you have:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8C63D8,#CBB8ED","itemBorderColor=#8C63D8,#CBB8ED"], //style 0
];
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#8C63D8","menuBorderColor=#8C63D8"], //style 0
];

  var menuItems = [
["Text;", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0", "0"],
["Text;", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0", "0"],
];

Where "0", "1" - style number in itemStyles.

Please, use Deluxe Tuner application to create and assign individualstyles. You can find Deluxe Tuner in the trial package.
