Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to leave a main java swing menu bar item highlighted when in that section. For example if I clicked on "Contact Us" and when I am on the contact us page, the "Contact us" navigation would still be highlighted. I appreciate any help you might have, thanks!
A: The java swing menu bar has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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 java swing menu bar 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: Is it possible to not download (pre-load) the images in the javascript menu array (some attributes in the data.js file ..)?
I would like to download them only on rollover on the submenu... I am aware of the ajax version of the menu, but ....
A: Set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=0;
You can also use AJAX feature, see more info here:

A: Please, check all your paths.
You can also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: We want to create a hyperlink (lets say google.com) to the item (eg. Industry,International Airlines etc) and display it in the dataframe.
For eg On clicking the 'International Airlines', the hyperlinked content should be displayed on the DataFrame along with expanding the navigation items. Right now it just expands the navigation , but the link doesn't work.
The hyperlink works fine for the subitems. We want to do the same for the main items as well.
A: You can write your top items in the following way:
["<a href='http://google.com' target='DataFrame' style='color: #000; text-decoration: none;'>International Airlines</a>","", "", "", "", "","DataFrame", "", "", ],
