Q: Hello I am testing your product Deluxe Menu, and want to create a special tree-menu.
I have a question:
Is it possible to have two icons in front of each dhtml menu item?
I need two icons in front of each menu-item that will symbolize an alarm and a sabotage-alarm.
I want to use animated gifs on these so that I can visualize alarm and sabotage on each menu-item.
But I also need an icon on the right side of the menu to show if the menu-item is expanded or not.
I want the structure to be like this:
Icon | icon а| Main menuitem1а | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.1 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem1.2 | expandedicon
Icon | icon | sub menuitem2 | expandedicon
Icon | icon а| Main menuitem2а | expandedicon
Is this possible to achieve with your menu?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use any html code within menu items.
["|<img src='default.files/icon1_so.gif' style='margin-right: 10px'>Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif","default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
Q: When my page loads up, there is a flash for about a second of all the text that is used in the java menus. This looks really bad to visitors like I am using hidden text on the page. Is there a way to prevent this flash of text?
A: I suppose that you see search engine friendly code.

You won't see this text in most cases. We use it on our websites too.
But you can delete this code if you want.
Q: What I meant was that there is an API function dm_ext_changeItem that allows you to specify 8 dropdown menu parameters in an array. What if I only want to change one of them like the link for example? What do I specify in my function call to leave the other 7 parameters unchanged? Do I specify the existing values? Or, can I just put in a comma with no parameter? That would be a lot easier. Thank you.
A: You should specify only dropdown menu parameters you want to change.
You should just put a commas with no parameters, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "Deluxe Menu Hint",,"1"]);
Q: I installed the trail version before I want to buy it. It looks wonderfull, but I was unable to make menu items inside a PHP file.
Do you have an example(tutorial) how to at deluxe menu inside a php file ?
A: Unfortunately, we don't have such example.
You can create your menu using PHP, for example:
<?php echo " ["|Bibliografia - ksiazki","home_bibliografia_dol.php","","","",,,],"; ?>
<?php echo " ["|Bibliografia - artykuly","home_bibliografia_dol1.php","","","",,,],"; ?>
<?php echo " ["|Bibliografia - linki","home_bibliografia_dol2.php","","","",,,],"; ?>
