Q: How do I make the top nav buttons exactly the same width for each button?
Total menu width is 743px and I have 6 buttons I want the width of each button to be fixed at 123px.
I set var menuWidth="743" but it averages out the buttons based on the text.
A: You should use individual item styles. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=123px"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style 0
Q: I have created a CSS menu that appears in the <noscript> section, but am having a problem getting it to behave the same as the java menu. I want to show all the items as asingle line at each level, aligned to the left of the frame. I cannot find a way ofsetting left align in the style sheet or in the deluxe tuner for the css dhtml menu.
A: We've added align parameters in the new version 3.6:
var subMenuAlign="pleft";
You should set this parameter and specify width for submenu. You can use different smwidthfor each submenu using Individual Submenu styles.Q: I've bought your products and I love them.
Now I need help on this:
When a specific webpage is loaded in the browser, how is it done, that the tree is expanded to the right state? I do not mean, when you have clicked the javascript animated menu – but when visitors come from external links on the webpage, I want to show the correct javascript animated menu-state opened.
Thank you very much for your help.
A: You should use API functions in that case
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)

Q: But one of my big questions... can I use an include to pull the script for menu in?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:
