Q: I can't get the popup menu sample (rightclick) to work in Opera. Does Deluxe-menu support opera for right-clicking?

Q: Hello I am trying out deluxe menus. Fantastic piece of software - however the test menu I have created only works fine when I upload to an area outside the restricted area (i.e members area) of my server. Inside this area and it does not appear. Is that becuse I am using the trial version?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
No, it is not the reason. Trial version has full functionality.
Please, send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.
Please let me know. Thanks!
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.
Q: Can a menu item that expands the submenu items when selected also work as a link?
A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But you can write:
["<a href='index.html' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home'>About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
But in that case the submenu and link open when you press "About Us" item. I think that it is not verygood behaviour. You can also try to specify target parameter
["<a href='index.html' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="_blank">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
