Q: My Deluxe Menu works super.

Anyway, I would like to make it more comfortable for my users.

So, I would like to know if it possible to create a "Multicolumn Menu"

(http://deluxe-menu.com/multicolumn-menu-sample.html)

and separate define which submenu should be multicolumn and wich one looks "normal".

In your example all menu options which have submenus become multicolumn-look.

Is it maybe also possible to create such Multicolumn-look?

Group_01       Group_02       Group_03
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx
Group_04       Group_05       Group_06
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx
    - xxx             - xxx             - xxx


A: Yes, you can create such menu.
You can create "normal" items using separator.
     ["|-","testlink.htm"],

Please, see the attached example.


Q: When a user click on an item in the dhtml side menu I need to target the execution of that link to a different IFrame in the same page, is that supported?

A: Set the following parameter:

  var titemTarget="name";
where name is the name of your Iframe.

You can also specify the target for each item individually:
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "name", "", "", "", ],

Q: I am trying to have the selected top menu w dhtml item remain on the mouseover event after it is selected. It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal. How do i get this to work.

I tried removing the variable from the data file and calling it using
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">   var pressedItem=set 1,2,3 depending on page </script>
but this does not seem to work as it does for tabs.

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu 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">menu w dhtml 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: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?

When I put   var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.

A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:

  var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];

  var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ], // 0 style
