Q: We have several problems with your menu.
Notice when trying to select a drop down item…the item disappears, rather than holding in place as the mouse is over the menu item.
Second, we’d like to know how to expand the width of the main headers and sub headers. Currently, they are not of the same width.
Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new fonts to match the branding of the menu items.
Please let us know where we can find instructions to make these modifications/customizations.
A: Please, try to write your menuItems parameter correctly.
You should set "iconOver" parameter for each item (you can set "").
Please, see how you should write your menuItems:
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["|Contestants","experience_contestants.php","","","_self","2",,,],

You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","arrowImageMain=image1,image2=home_out.gif,home_over.gif"], // style 0
["itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#AA0000,#0000FF"], // style 1
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 2
];
var menuItems = [
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
...
For submenus you should set the following parameter:
var smWidth="150px";
> Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new

You should also use Individual styles.
But you should set this parameter:
var fontStyle="";
And then use different fonts for your items.
Q: I have been evaluating your dhtml-tree product, for a potential use.
It does just about every thing I want apart from 1 thing:
I want each css dropdown menu item to (optionally) support the following syntax:
<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>
I have worked out how to change the "menu_link.html", and also that it could be something like "javascript:fnClickedLinked()".
However I want the above syntax, where search engines can pick up the link and if my function returns false, the link is not followed when clicked.
Is this possible?
Or can I cancel the link navigation using the tree API node click event??
A: Actually you can add the html code inside item's text:
["|<a href="menu_link.html" onClick="return fnClickedLinked()">Menu Link</a>","", "", "", "", "Tip", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to use API function:
function dtreet_ext_userClick (itemID)
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.htmlQ: If you click a list drop menu link in the tree that opens a new page, for example, Solutions:By Type:Psuedo Wire , the link, Psuedo Wire, remains highlighted.
If you click a line that targets _self, for example, Solutions: By Type: T1 Extender, the link does not remain highlighted. My web app will need highlighting and all links will target _self. I have to solve this problem soon or else look elsewhere.
A: It is normal behaviour, your list drop menu can save its state within one page only.
You can try to use frames, and open pages in the content frame. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server (we use this method on our website
http://deluxe-tree.com).
You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
To expand specific items you should use the following function: dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: I am interested in purchasing Deluxe Menu. But I want to use drop down navigation menu on my PC only, not on Internet and not on Intranet or local host! I want to use it to make presentations similar to PowerPoint but it will only sit on my PC.
Is it possible to buy a license where I can have your software on my PC alone and not get the Trial Message? I am ready to pay for it.
A: You can use Deluxe Menu on local machine with the Developer license only.
Single and Multiple licenses allow you to use the menu on the Internet/Intranet websitesonly.
You can try to use another product - Vista Buttons, http://vista-buttons.com
Vista Buttons Home License - $49.95.
This license will suit you.
