Q: I'm interesting in dhtml menue ability to display a different color word on a menu item when the site is on that selected page
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I wanted to know if there's a way to make in the javascript expand menu the submenu to appear as regular text, not a link. Is there a way to do this?
A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [

Q: I want to use my own function within menuItems in the drop down menu button.
A: You can use Javascript instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [

];
Q: How do I get the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame of a 3 vertical frameset.
The menu is in the first frame. I want the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame. I don't see how to set that parameter.
A: You should check your dm_initFrame() function.
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical.
You should write it, for example
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
