Q: I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the selected menu branch of the side navigation bar to stay highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window (where the menu brings up a new page),just so the user knows where he/she is. Is that possible?
A: If you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

Q: In order to speed up things, (I mean my learning of this program) I am thinking of this:
I have at the moment only one selling e-book on my website.
Could you inform me please what I have to master in this drop down menu generator For managing, let say two affiliates, or more of course.
I know I will have to learn all. But I am sure that for starting and for just one e-book I don’t need to master everything.
I am a newbie, and all at once it is tiring as well as confusing.
And when my e-book is selling I will have time to study the whole thing.
Can you do this please?
