Q: Hello. I'm trying your javascript expanding menu but cant get a clicked menu to stay highlighted. It works sometimes in Firefox but never in explorer.

With sometimes I mean that if I click a link and that paticular link leeds to nowhere, and i've to click the browsers back button.....then the link I clicked is highlighted when I return. If I make a link that leeds to a new page (with exactly the same code as was generated from delux tuner), then nothing is highlighted. Does this 'higlightstate' work at all?

A: Javascript expanding menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)

<script type="text/javascript">

  var I = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{

dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));

}

</script>



Q: The problem I am having is specfically on the home page. The Navigation dhtml horizontal menu is at the top of the page. There are also Flash documents on this page only. When you go to the dhtml horizontal menu and select and option that has Sub-Items and position your mouse over those items, when the menu expands to show all of the text, it is cut off on theright side, this only occurres when there is a flash document behind the menu. All of the other pages work fine.

Do you have any idea why this occurrs? I have tried several things to fix this, but no luck. Is there a fix for this?

A: Try to set exact width for your sub menus. You can do it usingIndividual Submenu style:

  var menuStylesNames=["Top Menu","width1","width2",];
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=5px 6px 5px 6px"],
["smWidth=100px"],
["smWidth=210px"],
];

Q: I'm looking at purchasing your deluxe menu software.
Could you advise how to create pull down menus or if it's possible?

Yes, it is possible.
You can see our menus on

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.
After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.
You should set the following parameter
  var pathPrefix_img="";

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).

Add several rows into your html page.

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>

<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>

You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.

Try that.


Q: Is it possible that a menuitem of the js dropdown menu stays highlighted after clicking and loading the new html site?


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.

You can also set the correct
  var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
