Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: How can I add a submenu to the parent javascript menu horizontal?
A: You should add '|' symbols before item's text.
["Samples","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Sample 1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Sample 2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Sample 2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Actually you can create your menu easily in Deluxe Tuner GUI tool.
Q: There seems to be a small checkered rectangle at the top of button menu that I would like to see disappear.
A: See, you have
var tmoveable = 1;
var tmoveImage = "DeluxeMenu/deluxe-tree/img/movepic.gif";
var tmoveImageHeight = 12;
If you want your menu to stay movable you should set the followingparameters to delete rectangle at the top.
var tmoveImage = "";
var tmoveImageHeight = 0;
Q: I have recently downloaded your menu, I love, and am definitely going to purchase it, however i do have a question, I made my site with dreamweaver mx, and it is designed in a series of tables, the main table is 3 column and on row, stretched at 100% width and length, the other tables are nested inside the middle column, I am trying to get the menu in the left column to float, I have read some of the other post in the support section, and I was wondering if their could be any <div> anywhere on the page or just before and after the menu script code?
here is the way my code is before and after the script code
<td width="17%" align="left" valign="top" background="images/LPback.png">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
this defines the column in which I want the menu to be,
here is my code for the floatable menu
//--- Positioning
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="0px";
var ttop="205px";
//--- Floatable Menu
var tfloatable=1;
var tfloatIterations=10;
var tfloatableX=1;
var tfloatableY=1;
A: You should add the following parameter:
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="data.files/";</script>
See more info about installation here:

You should also add dtree_add.js file in the "data.files/" folder.
