Q: Does your xml drop down menu support Arabic language fonts?
A: Actually you can use any letters in the menu.
Please, check that you've set "Tools/Use utf8 encode".
When you save your data file in UTF8 you should use the same encoding on our html page.
So you should write:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.
Q: I bought the Deluxe Menu system for one website. Javascript select menu works well on all versions of IE that I tried (5,6,7)
However, the background and shadow do not render in Firefox. As a result the menu is not as attractive.
Can you help with this or am I stuck?
A: You should add Individual Item style and assign it for the top javascript select menu items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=20px"],
];
["Home","index.shtml", "", "", "First Page", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["Communication","", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", "", "", ],
...
Filters and transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.

Q: Hello. I have noticed that when you expand a menu and then click to another page, the menu is collapsed on the next page. I read about "state saving" and tried the parameter which did not work. Is there a way to accomplish this?
A: You can see the example for state saving here:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html
This menu saves its state.
To enable this mode you should include dtree_ss.js file intoyour html page and set the following parameter:
var tsaveState = 1;
See, if you open pages (with menus) from different folder itmeans that you open different menus. So, when you change a state, forexample, of the first menu within "content/" folder and then openanother page with the menu within "content/subfolder/", browsers looks for anothercookie file and can't find it and the second menu stays in a defaultstate. Is it clear?
Q: I want to use this menu with ASP. Can the link items NOT open a new window?
For ASP the current window needs to be used with whatever value is in the link parameter.
A: JavaSript menu uses window.open or href-method depending on the target parameter.
If you set "" or "_self" target the menu uses href-method and if youset "_blank" or frame name the menu uses window.open and opens your link in a new window.
You should use the following parameter
var titemTarget = "_self";
or
var titemTarget = "";
Please, see also individual items targets, for example:
{|The Team, http://www.domain.co.uk/receptionist.htm, _blank,}
Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".
