Q: One other question, how do you get the menu bar to highlight and stay on the page you are viewing rather than highlighting home the whole time.
A: You should 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'm trying to have two separate menus on my web page. I read what was written in your FAQs about multiple menus, but the response was too cryptic.
It seems to me that if the dmWorkPath for each menu is declared separately, then the menus should work separately (with no interaction). I did not find this to be the case.
Do you have more complete information about creating multiple menus on one page? I would like to understand the issues.
A: David, if you want to create multiple menus on one page you should only call several data.js files with the menu.
For example you can see templates.html. You can find this file in the trial package.
Q: In the item window, it says "use Ctrl jey to slect and copy items" But when I try it doesn't work.
I use Ctrl C and Ctrl V
A: To select a group of items you can use Shift and Ctrl keys.
To rename an item click on it and hold a mouse cursor for a second. Or use item parameters window.
To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.
Q: How can I open the links that I created for the web drop menu /sub-menu on the same window (not on a new window)
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_self";
or for each item individually:
["","testlink.htm","http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo.gif", "http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo1.gif", "Home Tip","_self", "0", "0", , ],
