Q: Our default directory for the files is menudir
How do we get the software to recognize this default directory when generating the script and support files. The default needs to be added for the icon files etc.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: It's been couple of months since I last time asked something about tree menu. I am still evaluating the software.
I have a short question. Is it possible to use CSS instead of JavaScript to tune the look and feel of the tree menu? For example I would be interested in giving menu css java item height value in relative numbers (em or %) rather than specifying a size in pixels...
A: But actually you can use 'em' and '%' units in Deluxe Tree, forexample.
var tmenuWidth="13em";
var tmenuHeight="12em";
var tmenuWidth="35%";
var tmenuHeight="15em";
Q: 1: For the deluxe-menu, can I keep a submenu shown even when my mouse pointer is NOT over the submenu anymore (besides the delay functions?) and hides only after a mouseclick somewhere (like the Microsoft menu of outlook)?
2: Is there a way to use the smartscrolling function (for a vertical menu) on the MAIN menu instead of only for the submenu's?
A: 1) Unfortunately, you can't do it.
You can use Deluxe Tree,

2) Yes, you can't use scrolling in the main menu. But if you have verylarge menu you can use multilevel menu,

Theoretically we can do scrolling in the main menu, but we think that it will be better touse multilevel menu in that case.
Q: I've got an xp style menu that I'm trying to place within a table... Things are not rendering as I'd expect
I am trying to put the menu in the left column of the table, a form on the right side, and then center the entire table.
The html table is surrounded by a center tag (have tried a div tag with no difference).
It appears the xp menu is obeying the center tag, but not keeping it relative to the containing table...
How can I fix this issue? I have also attached the html source code as it is rendered in the browser in case that is of some use.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var tabsolute = 0;
You're using absolute position for the menu now.
