Q: Hello. We need some tech support regarding our deluxe menu.
All of our pages that have the menu code on them are suddenly giving status bar errors that say: "Done, but with errors on page"
When pulling up the error details, the dialog says:
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0
On pages that do not have the menu at all, we're not getting the error.
A: Now you have such code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var dmWorkPath = "menu/";
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
So, your menu cannot find var dmWorkPath = "menu/"; parameter on yourpage.
Try to write your code in the following way:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menu/";</script>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="" type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></SCRIPT>

Q: We're working on new website and including your html menu systems.
Here's what we're trying to do and it keeps giving us an error (using MS Frontpage for development):
1) We have created a single leftnav menu that will appear on all of the pages of our website.
2) We've created an html page called leftnav.htm that is only this menu. It works just fine when we preview within Frontpage. The leftnav.htm and all the menu .js files are in a unique folder within the site.
3) We then have a template page that is the base template for many of the pages on our website. There is a layout table in this template into which we do an Includepage to bring in the leftnav.htm. When we try to preview this page with the menu included, we get a script error that says "Object expected" on line #155 (the .js file only has 154 lines of code).
We're stuck. Is there a problem with how we're trying to implement the html menu systems?
A: It is possible that you'll have an error in the Frontpage's preview.
Try to open your page in browser. If you'll have the same error,please send send us a copy of your html pages (including .js files) and we will check it.
Q: Is it possible for a navigation bar item to have an associated "target"? What I mean is I'd like to be able to open the page in a new window, so I'd need to specify the href as well as "target=_new" (in HTML anyway).
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_blank";
Where main - is the name of the main middle frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I'm using the deluxe-tree; my dynamic tree menu is very long; and the page has a vertical scroll bar as a result. My question is, does the dynamic tree menu support anchors? So let's say I do mypage.aspx#mynode, and mynode is a tree-node, and happens to be on the bottom of the page, can we make it so that the user goes to that node, without him using the vertical scroll bar?
A: No, it is not possible.
But you can collapse your tree menu by default:
var texpanded=0;
and use API functions to expand the specific items based on the page you are now:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>
