Q: IHow can i make that the background-color will be standing behind the click in this part of dhtml menu slide?


A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, but
you can highlight menu items by default in two ways:

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<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=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also 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.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

Q: I think that your product is great makes everything look nice and professional with the drop down menu Items. My question is I have certain menu Items that I will need to disable at certain times. I do this now using a standard button and grabbing my parameters from an SQL database. Is there a way for me to basically pull which menu items I need disabled and present the customized menu for each client. I have read that your product has this ability I was looking for a little guidance or maybee a write up on someone that has done this.


A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.

You can try to use the following function

function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.

The example you can find on our site

http://www.deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html

Please, see the source code on this page.


Q: I contact you because this morning we have bought a single license of your deluxe tree menu for our web site www.roderstore.com All features of tree menu work good when I try it on local computer.

When I send the files on web site there is the problem that we must work on different directory : the script must be saved in a directory and the html page with menu inside is installed in another directory.

We can't save the script inside the directory of html pages because there are a lot of pages that call the tree menu, in different levels of path.

In the header of html page I have write the absolute path of script ( http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/ ) and I have called the source of script with all absolute path.

The problem is that the tree javascript moving menu is visible, the function are OK ( expand and collapse are OK ) but the tree don't have the images !

I presume that the problem is the different directory of script and html page ?

What can we do ?

A: You can try to use absolute path to your images. To do it you shouldset the following javascript moving menu parameter:

  var tpathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/";

You can also send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.



Q: I am getting stuck with trying to set a default tab in the div tab menu to be selected when a window opens...
What I've been trying to do is changing this line here :

  var bselectedItem=0;

At 0 (default) it has the first tab selected. Any other number and notabs are selected.
Is there a setting somewhere else that I am missing?A: You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD&tg;
