Q: I'm wondering if you can use the Link Item of the Deluxe Menu to have ASP code, similar to yoru FAQ below, only replacing the Javascript with ASP?
Q: I want to use Javascript instead of usual links for menu items. How can I do that? A: To do that you should add a function word "javascript" in the URL field of an item, e.g.:
var menuItems = [
[text, "javascript:alert('Hello, world!')", icon1, icon2],
];
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
You can use any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
You can find the example with PHP here:

Q: Does your product support image swapping? For instance, if I was building a menu such as the one on your site, how would I swap the "Home", "Product Info", etc images/gif's?
I'm using a JavaScript such as the one below:
<a href="index.html"><img src="images/btn_home_up.gif" name="Image1" width="91" height="33" border="0" id="Image1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image1','','images/btn_home_roll.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a>
A: You can use images for items using standard <img> tag.
But in this case you should change pictures yourselves usingJavascript to make rollover items.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["<img src='image1.gif' width=100 height=20 onmouseover='this.src=\"image2.gif\" onmouseout='this.src=\"image1.gif\"'>Text", link,]
];
or
var menuItems = [
["<img src='image.gif' onmouseover='changeImage(this, 1)' onmouseout='changeImage(this, 0)'>"]
];
Q: We are trying to evaluate your software for use on our redesigned website.
Dhtml scrolling menu look great in Firefox but when we open the same page in IE it is ugly.
A: The reason is in the following code:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" align=left border=0> </DIV>
Delete align=left from the <IMG> tag:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" border=0> </DIV>
Q: Is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus in the collapse tree menu?
A: You can set expanded items by default.
If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.
["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ],
// this item is expanded by default
["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif", "default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ],
// this subitem is not expanded by default
