Q: I have a problem. How can we get the value of a parameter passed by the menu, when a menu item is clicked? For example I want to get the URL or file name to be open by the menu item when it is clicked.
I am talking about TREE menu.
A: If you want to open url or a file when you click on items of the tree menu you can write, for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["+DHTML Menus","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
["|Save as...", "javascript:OpenFile('file_name')"]
];
Q: I have heard from some page visitors, that they couldn’t see the menu. Could this be a problem with deactivated Java script or could you tell me some possibilities what it could be.
A: Your visitors should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages they load.
When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

Q: Is there a way to hide a menu options in the navigation menu using either CSS or the java api based on the site user?
A: Deluxe Menu supports Javascript API.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
