Q: I was looking for a feature to reverse the order of items added dynamically to the drop down html menu
I'm not sure where to find it or how to go about getting this new feature incorporated into my code.
Could you please help me and tell me where to go next?
A: To add your items dynamically in the specific position you should usethe following function:
dm_ext_addItemPos(mInd, smInd, iParamsArr, Pos)
where Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item(starts with 0).
Check that you have dmenu_dyn.js file in the same folder with dmenu.js
file and set
var dynamic=1;
parameter.Q: Can I ask a technical question? I am using the menu in a frameset, and I would like for the drop down menu selected branch to sty 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: But 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>

So the javascript menu slide would need to remain open and allow a user to select multiple items and would either submit onmouseout or maybe a "submit these selections" javascript menu slide item.
A: You can try to use Deluxe Tree in that case:
http://deluxe-tree.com
You can paste any html code inside item text, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menu1.js
["+Support", "", "icon5_t.gif", "icon5_to.gif", "", "Support Tip"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3 </select>", "", "", "", "", "","", "0"],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go'style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
["|<INPUT TYPE=checkbox CHECKED ID=chk1 onclick='choosebox1()'>Uncheck this check box for some free advice","","","",],
["<img src='img/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],
You should also add your own code, so your checkbox will workcorrectly.
Q: I just purchased your product and I have it installed and it is working great. Great job with this product.
I am wondering why I am only seeing just a small percentage of the templates for the css rollover menus. On your web page, there seem to be dozens of different styles to choose from. On my local software there is only a few. Can I download the additional "vista" styles somehow?
A: We've included all templates in the installation package.
You can also find all templates in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\deluxe-menu\Templates\
