Q: I want to know how I can set a menu item to pressed
when a page is loaded in javascript drop down menus.
A: You should 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.
Q: I have a couple of questions related to the deluxe-menu software. Here they are:
I have been working with on a site and I am kind stack using the program. I want to use the tree option but not all java script drop menu items need to have subcategories. For example:
Category 1
Sub-menu 1-1
Sub-menu 1-2
Sub-menu 1-3
Category 2
Sub-menu 2-1
Sub-menu 2-2
Sub-menu 2-3
Category 3
Category 4 When someone click on the "Category 1" or "Category 2", I want them to see the sub-menus. However, when some click on "Category 3" or "Category 4", I would like to have it open the appropriate page. How do I do this? This will make a lot easier because not all java script drop menu items need to have sub-menus… I hope that makes sense and you can help me on getting this done.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to your answers,
A: You cannot use links for the top java script drop menu items in XP Style only.
var tXPStyle=1;
but you can write:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com'>Item 45</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>

Q: I have created a CSS menu that appears in the <noscript> section, but am having a problem getting it to behave the same as the java menu. I want to show all the items as asingle line at each level, aligned to the left of the frame. I cannot find a way ofsetting left align in the style sheet or in the deluxe tuner for the css dhtml menu.
A: We've added align parameters in the new version 3.6:
var subMenuAlign="pleft";
You should set this parameter and specify width for submenu. You can use different smwidthfor each submenu using Individual Submenu styles.
