Q: Just wanted to thank you for all of your help...I changed all of the paths accordingly and the menus look great.
Out of curiousity, how do I use the javascript calendar function? It does not appear to be an option in the Deluxe Tuner GUI.
A: We haven't added Calendar in Deluxe Tuner.
You can find it in the installed package:
C:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\calendar\Q: I am using the tree menu script in a frameset, and I would like for the selected menu branch to stay highlighted after the user moves the mouse to another window(where the menu brings up a new page),just so the user knows where he/she is.
Is that possible?
A: But if you open links in the another frame (window) the initial frame with your menu isnot reloaded, so the clicked item will be highlighted.
You should set the following parameters:
var ttoggleMode=1;
var tpressedFontColor="#AAAAAA";
You can also set the following parameter to save menu state:
var tsaveState=1;
var tsavePrefix="menu1";
If you install the menu without frames. On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

But I have a question, pls see the following example.
inside the menu.js (the file which we will run as navigation bar)
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif", "menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
when setup running the php file directly is no problem
however, as we have some links will have different values as the end (have problem running at the menu)
such as blog.php?ownid=4497
there is having a dynamic value at the end
at our php files we use
<a href="blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>">
Any suggestion for this case? or you can give us some example?
A: The following link should work fine in Deluxe Menu:
["Item 1","blog.php?blogger=<?=$auctionDetails['ownerid'];?>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also try to move menuItems and dm_init(); function to your page inside <script>tag:
<script>
var menuItems = [
["Member's Home","membersarea.php", "menu.files/icon_xp2_7.gif","menu.files/icon_xp2_7o.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Submit Items","sellitem.php", "menu.files/selling0.gif","menu.files/selling1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Wall / Friend List","membersarea.php", "menu.files/inbox0.gif", "menu.files/inbox1.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>Q: Now I need to work out how to add multiple menu's to a page? Are you able to reference these separately - is this possible.
The page that I am creating lists out notes from our system - there is a "options" button to the right of each note - when the cursor hovers over this button I want to dynamically load themenu's. On any page there could be over a 100 of these "option" buttons and the menu that would load from each option button could be different and specific to the note.
A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.
You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then call your data files:
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
