var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#CE9DE1,#B978D1",],
["itemBackColor=#84DA7A,#48D641",],
["itemBackColor=#5EA6E1,#507ECB",],

Q: I developed a little test dhtml menu slide tree. For the items "Aktivitaeten Auswahl" and "Kontakt Auswahl" I have no subitems. The item line shows a little button with double arrows.
I would like to get rid of these buttons, because there are no subitems.
How can I do that?
A: You should create Individual XP Style and apply it for these items.
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPTitleBackColor=#D9DAE2","tXPTitleBackImg=data-quelle.files/xptitle2_s.gif", "tXPExpandBtn=data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif"],
];
Q: Can you tell me why these two simple dhtml tabs menus are conflicting and overwriting?
A: Notice, when you have several dhtml tabs menus on the one page you should calldtabs.js file only once.
<script type="text/javascript" src="Top_Center1.files/dtabs.js"></script>
Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
