Q: Do you have any tips on making the drop down menus load faster? My pages seem a little slower now that I have 2 Javascript menus loading per page.
A: Check that you have the following parameter set to 0:
var dm_writeAll=0;
Q: I've finally got it working and it looks good. So thanks. But... unfortunally there's still a small problem wich occured after I got everything else working: No matter if I set the parmeter " var texpanded" to '1' or '0' it expands by default tree menu javascript. Why?
I also have another question I forgot to ask you about earlier: Originally I only had the data.js file but in the non-profit zip file you gave me there was no "data.js" file, only "data-tree.js". Wich one will the script use? Do I need both? The javascript call I put where I want the menu to appear calls for "DATA. js". So what good does the "data-TREE.js" file do?
I include the "data.js" file if you need to have a look at it. The "data-tree. js" file is identical now that I changed all the " var tmenuItems" at the bottom). (The "menu.html" I guess you can look at yourself by "View source".)
Also, the submenus where I would like to put XP style menus are not finished yet but for now I have the same "tree" script in them. They are under "DART/dartspel.html", and on six artist discographys under MUSIK: Edguy, Katie Melua, Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Magnus Uggla. This is if you'ld like to see the sub pages where I use other "copys" of Deluxe-tree. (I hope you don't mind that the "Illegal copyright" nag is very small. It's supposed to dissapear anyway with the new Non-profit license).
A: 1) See the structure of your tmenuItems is incorrect now.
You should write:
["->HEM (Klicka f?r meny)","welcome.html", "data.files/hem.gif", "data.files/hem2.gif", "data.files/hem.gif", "Startsidan", "right", "", ],
Without '|' symbol in the beginning.
2) You should write tleft parameter correctly. Now you have:
//--- Positioning
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="00px";
var ttop="10px";
Write it in the following way:
var tleft="10px";
3) data-tree.js file is the default tree menu javascript file. There is no need to use it if you already haveyour data.js file.
Q: You have been great help, but this will not work for me. All I want is the dropdown menu javascript I have attached to have these colors on the seperate top items. I just cannot make the software work . As soon as I get this done I promise to leave you alone

A: You should create 6 Individual Styles and assign them to you topitems.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#0000ff,#0000ff","showByClick=0"], //style 0
["itemBackColor=#FF00FF,#FF00FF","showByClick=0"], //style 1
["itemBackColor=#00ffff,#00ffff","showByClick=0"], //style 2
["itemBackColor=#00ff00,#00ff00","showByClick=0"], //style 3
["itemBackColor=#FFFF00,#FFFF00","showByClick=0"], //style 4
["itemBackColor=#FF0000,#FF0000","showByClick=0"], //style 5
];
["Find out Who we are","http://www.humanscience.org/", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Apply For Fellowship","http://www.humanscience.org/infoSnippets.cfm", "", "", "", "_blank", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style 1

["Engage in a discussion","", "", "", "", "", "4", "", "", "", "", ], //style 4
["Read The Bulletin","", "", "", "", "", "5", "", "", "", "", ], //style 5
You can also set
var itemSpacing=0;
to delete spacing around the dropdown menu javascript.
Q: The plus symbols (+) for Home, PRODUCT CATALOG, and Back are almost non visible and I can not find a parameter to move the collapsible tree menu to the right or to put a border on the left side.
A: You set the following style:
#menu TABLE {
PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: -4px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse
}
You should delete
MARGIN: -4px;
style or set it:
MARGIN: -4px -4px -4px 0px;
