Recent Questions

Q: I've been trying to get the menu item in dynamic tree menu to stay highlighted when clicked on and directed to that page.

A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state.
It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)

<script type="text/javascript">

  var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}


To expand specific items you should use the following function:
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);

Q: > You should call the following function:
> dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 12)
> where 12 - is index of the item.

How would I know that 12 is the index of the item? How is itemInd different from its itemID? I assume the menuInd is always 0 for the first menu (or only in my case) menu on a page?


A: Yes, menuInd is the number of the menu on your page (in your casemenuInd=0).

itemInd is the number of the item in your menuItems, for example:

  var tmenuItems =
[
["Home", "http://deluxe-tree.com", "icon1_t.gif", "icon1_to.gif","", "Home Page Tip","_blank"],//itemInd=0

["<img src='data_files/images/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],//itemInd=1

["+What's New<br><span id='letter'>This is pretty cool. I need to buy this deluxe menu</span>", "", "icon2_t.gif", "icon2_to.gif", "", "Product Info Tip"],//itemInd=2
 ["|What's New", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=3
 ["|Features", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=4
 ["|Installation", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=5
 ["|Functions", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=6
 ["|Supported Browsers", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=7
["Samples", "", "icon3_t.gif", "icon3_to.gif", "", "Samples Tip"], //itemInd=8
 ["|Sample 1", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=9
 ["|Sample 2", "testlink.htm", ""], //itemInd=10
 ["|Sample 3", "", ""], //itemInd=11
   ["||New Sample 1", "testlink.htm", ""],//itemInd=12
   ["||New Sample 2", "testlink.htm", ""],//itemInd=13



Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the menu in java script so that a menu selection stays 'on'?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.


A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:

  var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).

You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:

  var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:

<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>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.
