Q: Everything is working quite well -- with the following exception:
I added a button.gif file to my item, hoping that the graphic would appear rather than just a colored cell. (Yes, I did upload the button.gif file to the .files folder.)
My work looks great in the preview window, but still shows the colored cells in my web page (www.misyssbm.com/buy/index.php left side menu). My text changes show up on the web page, so I know it was updated.
Any ideas (note I have two deluxe menus)?
A: You should check all your images paths.
You should also upload these files on your server in"side_menu.files/" folder.
I've tried to download "side_menu.files/btn_navy.gif" but I can't doit.
Please, check it.
Q: I can not figure out how you put the arrow that shows there's more information in the php drop down menu?
I tried and tried to figure it out where you add this .gif file?
A: You should set the following parameters in your data.js file:
var arrowImageMain=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowmain.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
//Normal and mouseover arrow images for top-level items.
var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowsub.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowsubo.gif"];
// Normal and mouseover arrow images for submenu items.
You can set these parameters in Deluxe Tuner also:
Open 'Icons' section in the main window and set var arrowImageMain and var arrowImageSubparameters.
Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so that a vertical menu selection stays 'on'? In other words, the vertical menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: Just wondering if it's possible to have the sub menu of my collapsible dhtml menu that appear when the "+" is clicked stay open when another page loads. I tried downloading the trial version & can't get that to happen.
Click on "web development" and then "web design portfolio" - when the new page loads the menu closes. Is it possible to have it remember which sub menus were showing when the new page loads?
A: Deluxe Tree has save state feature. You should set the followingparameter:
var tsaveState=1;
