Q: I am using Javascript Menu. Deluxe Menu. v1.12 How can I upgrade to v.2.0?
A:How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1. 1.1 For Windows users a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0 (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0 http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip). b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/OpenЕ c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
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:
var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are: - dmenu.js - dmenu4.js - dmenu_add.js - dmenu_dyn.js - dmenu_key.js - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00) - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)

Q: How change the color of the link in the dhtml vertical menu if the link is already visited.
A:Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, butyou can highlight menu items in two ways:
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. You can find more info here: http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Q: In Firefox, the java popup menu is hidden behind Flash player. Anyway to fix this?
Q: We have a query on a navigation that we have created. We would like to knowhowto set the colour for a nav item of the asp drop down menu if any pages in that section are currently being visited?
A:To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1; The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation. 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2; The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default. -2 - the toggle mode is disabled; -1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default; 0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu. - delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file - set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<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=2;</script>
