Q: Navigation bar code should indicate with on which page I me just considers..
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
but you can highlight menu items in two ways:
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,
for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<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: I am curious why there are no font settings for "Individual Styles" for"Submenu styles".
Basically I want to have a different font and color for my submenu items so they appear differently than the normal primary Items - but it seems there is only two options for fonts:
- The global font parameters affecting all fonts (primary and sub).
- And the Individial Styles for primary Item Styles.
Why no font paramenters for Submenu Items?
A: You can assign Item Style for the submenu item too.
See the example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=normal 13px Comic Sans MS"], //item style 0
];
var menuStyles = [
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "default.files/icon6.gif", "default.files/icon6o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //item style 0
Q: Recently one of my clients apparently upgraded from Internet Explorer 6+ to 7. Along the way now apparently the javascript is no enabled.
How do I enable javascript on the new browser, and / o is there something else that I need to do in the code?
A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Please, try to use search engine friendly code you'll see all yourlinks.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
We released the new version today. New Deluxe Tuner supports DeluxeTree & Deluxe Tabs also.
Q: I am not able to get the Keystrokes function to work. The variable is set to 1 on both parameters and it is set at 113 for the F2 function key but it is not highlighting anything on the horizontal menu I have, any ideas?
A: Please check that you have dmenu_key.js file in the same folder withyour dmenu.js file.
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
