Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?  

I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed  in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?

A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.

So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.

For example you have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3

So, for the second menu you should write:

dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)



Q: Thanks for getting back with me but how do you build the menu?

I opened Deluxe Tuner program to build a menu and there are categories titled common, dimensions, font, appearance etc. and I have NO IDEA what to do?

Can you walk me through the development of a menu?


A: First of all you should add items.
Please, click "Add item" and "Add subitem".
In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items. You can also assign different style for each menuitem (item style and submenu style).
But at first you should create this style. Click "Edit IndividualStyle/Add Style" and set different parameters for the style.

Try to set different parameters of the menu.
In the "Preview window" you can see all your changes.

First of all you should choose menu orientation:
  var isHorizontal = 1; Menu orientation: 0 - vertical, 1 - horizontal.

You can set exact width and height of the menu in the "Dimension"category.

You should set
  var absolutePos=1;
if you want to have absolute positioning menu.

Font style you can set in the "Font" category.

To set color of the menu you should set the following parameters:
  var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
  var menuBorderColor="#C0AF62";
  var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
  var itemBorderColor=["#FCEEB0","#4C99AB"];

Try also to change these parameters:
  var itemSpacing=3;
  var itemPadding="3px";

Arrows for main items and subitems you can set here:
  var arrowImageMain=["default.files/arrowmain.gif","default.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["default.files/arrowsub.gif","default.files/arrowsubo.gif"];

If want to have floatable or movable menu you should set the followingparameters:
  var floatable=0;

  var movable=0;

You can also try to change any template.


Q: I downloaded the free trial version and so far it looks like we can do everything. I have a couple questions:

the designer wants it so that when any of the submenu choice are selected, the main main menu in java item should be highlighted when the submenu page is displayed (kind of a breadcrumb). So, is there any way to change the background image of one of the main menu items after the menu loads? I haven't tried running my main menu in java in a webpage yet so I'm not sure if you generate a separate CSS file or put all of the settings into a STYLE= attribute of each tag.

A: The main menu in java has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also 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 created a new directory at the root called newmenu and placed all of the menu files there. I pointed this page to that new directoryIt works!
However, when I point my home page to the newmenu directory, the menu disappears again.


A: Try to move also the reference to dmenu.js after <Body> tag:

<body onload="...">
...
