Q: When I use API like <script>dm_ext_deleteItem(0, 0, 0);</script> it works fine in my first dhtml drop down menu code (menu.js) but I'm unable to reach second one (menu_gauche.js). I’ve tried this : <script>dm_ext_deleteItem(1, 0, 0);</script> and the page came’s out with a JavaScript error on that line. I’ve read on your side about dm_ext_deleteItem api and the first parameter is for menu Id … If there anything that I have forgot ??
A: You cannot use the following function for the tree menu:
dm_ext_deleteItem(1, 0, 0);
There is no such function there:
You should use
dtreet_ext_deleteItem (0, 0)
for the tree menu, see more info:

You should set menuInd=0 if you have only one dhtml drop down menu code on your page.
Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.
It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.
The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.
For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.
I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.
A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:
menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif
You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.
This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).
IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.
So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.Q: Also I have a problem getting the separator to show in my javascript right click menu. I have individual settings for the main menu items. I then tried to place an after item image, and they will show, though then the mouseover image does not work.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical javascript right click menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: Is there a way to have multiple drop down menus on the same web page? What I mean by that is I have a banner with drop downs (horizontal on page) that I want to use possibly with an include statement and when you click on one of the links from the drop down it would take you to a page that is say a department for example. But on this "department page" it would have another list of drop down menues in a different location in a vertical list. This gets tricky with a second set of script running to define the banner and a second set of drop down menues running vertical in a different location.
A: You can use as many different drop down menus on your site or your page as you want.
