Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so
that a menu selection stays 'on' for the navigation bar script?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color
that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<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=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

Q: I wanted to ask a question about your software, we just purchased the multi license for Deluxe flash dropdown menu. We were trying in many ways to control the width between the words
We were trying to control the width between Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Oceania, Africa
We wanted to set the width as 16% to make them all equal with a 100% width flash dropdown menu but it did not work out for us. We tried to do it with creating an Individual style in the Item Style for all the top links. Can you please advise how are we supposed to achieve that?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to set now:
var menuWidth="100%";
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=16%"],
];
To set the exact width for all flash dropdown menu items you should set width in 'px'.
var menuWidth="798px";
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=133px"],
];
Q: Hello, I am interesting in purchasing your product, but first I need to know if it is possible to call a JavaScript function from the menu. I have read the FAQ and noted where it lists that you can perform an alert call, and that worked on my end as well, but when I attempted to call a function I created I could not get it to respond. Is it possible to call a function from your menu? Could I get an example?
A: You can write your own functions within menuItems, for example:
["|Real-Time Data Query","javascript:window.open('http://www.domain.org/', '_blank','height=758,width=1024,status=yes,toolbar=no, menubar=no,location=no');",,,'Query real time water quality data' ,'' , '', '', ,],
Q: I am trying the menu and facing one problem…
The text is too large and doesn't wrap around.. instead it makes the dhtml menu layers wider.
My dhtml menu layers needs to be 175 px only.. if there are to many characters in the link, I like it to wrap around to the next line…
Any options?
A: You should set the following dhtml menu layers parameter:
var noWrap=0;
You can also use standard <br> tags inside item's text:
["All Card <br>Envelopes","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
