Q: Can I ask a technical question? I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the drop down menu selected branch to sty highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window (where the menu brings up a new page), just so the user knows where he/she is. Is that possible?
A: But if you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

I'd like to use template "data-image-based-1.js" - everytime I try to change it into a movable one, the javascript menu system just blockes and that's it. where do I have to change a setting in order to be able to use this fantastic menue as a movable one?
A: You should set absolute position for the menu when you use movable orfloatable feature:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="100px";
var posY="100px";
Q: I've tried that in my dhtml menu maker and it keeps going to the bottom of the list. That's why I emailed my question. I had read the part of drag and drop, but it doesn't seem to work. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong, if my software is corrupted somewhere. Everything else seems to work correctly.
Any other ideas or why it owuld do that?
A: Click on the item you want to move.
Move your mouse in the correct place (holding left mouse button).
Wait till you'll have gray line in the place where you want to insertthe item and release mouse button.
Q: The AJAX sample for tree menu script on website does not have any styling applied at the moment.
I am assuming that it would support full styling with AJAX as well.
Is this correct?
A: You can use any style and templates for the AJAX sample.
Create a menu and set style you need using Individual Item Styles.
To enable AJAX Tree Menu use the following menu parameters:
var tajax=1;
Then set your menu in such way:
var tmenuItems = [
["Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", "data-samples/data-ajax5.js", ],
["+Samples Gallery","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
["|Samples Block 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
["|Samples Block 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
["|Samples Block 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax.js", ],
];
Each .js file must contain menuItems variable for the submenu in the following format:
var tmenuItems = [
[text, link, icon1, icon2, icon2, tip, target, itemStyle, submenuStyle, jsFileName],
];
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server that contains tmenuItems variable for the submenu.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
["Home","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax2.js", ],
["Samples","", "", "", "", "Samples Tip", "", "", "", "data-samples/data-ajax4.js", ],
["Purchase","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "Purchase Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
["Support","", "", "", "", "Support Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Write Us","mailto:[email protected]", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
