Q: I am testing the menu under the 2nd URL however I am just receiving a blank page Why would the menu be totally blank ...not even incorrect key or trial version warnings. Does Deluxe menu need ASP installed on the server.
A: You should call dmWorkPath parameter before you call dmenu.js file.
Check also that this parameter point to the same directory withdmenu.js file. So, you should install the menu in the following way:
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>JavaScript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a> </noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
Check it.
Q: Can I use javascript to get the object (getElementByID). If not howdo I hide my dropdown menu on print?
A: You can add a new button to print your page and call onClick event, soyou should write:
<body ....
onClick="document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden'; window.print();">
...
</body>
Or you can use the same javascript code from your menu item.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["Print", "javascript:document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden';
window.print();", icon1, icon2],
];
But if you want to hide the menu when your customers push "File/Print"you should write so:
You must create two functions, for example:
function myprint()
{ document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='hidden';
window.print();
}
function myprint2()
{ document.getElementById('dm0m0').style.visibility='visible';
window.print();
}
You should add this functions into your code.
And then you must write so:
window.onbeforeprint = myprint;
window.onafterprint = myprint2;

Q: A lot of things have come in between... Just a few more Q's before I order.
1)
At the bottom of the page you refer to below, there is a table showing the tmenuItems array, itemInd and " submenuInd ". But in the examples on the same page, the function "dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex" takes the arguments (menuInd, itemInd). Is the argument "menuInd" the same as "submenuInd" referred to in the javascript menu design??
2)
When I highlight an item on "onload" I need to expand that item's parent(s), right? What will happen to other, already expanded nodes when I do that? Will they still be expanded or collapsed?
A: 1) menuInd is the index of a tree menu on a page, >= 0.
First menu - menuInd=0
Second menu - menuInd=1
Third menu - menuInd=2
Fourth menu - menuInd=3
...
2) Yes, the already expanded nodes will be expanded.
