Q: We want the javascript dhtml drop down menu which have sub menu to have a arrow, so that the visitor know that they have to cliek there. We have put in arrow on the tab which are having drop downs, but on mouse over to the single javascript dhtml drop down menu also it is showing the arrow and another problem is that when the drop down is used then there after the arrow is no more visible.
A: You can create Individual XP Style and use it for items with submenus:
var tXPExpandBtn=["left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif", "left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif"];
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPExpandBtn=left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow.gif, left.files/menu-arrow01.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif"],
];
and assign this style for all top items with submenus:
["+Company Profile","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
["|Item 25","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 26","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Projects","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
["|Item 27","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 28","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Services","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
Try that.
Q: Is there a way to have the menu stay expanded in the same exact state when
I click on a menu item of the javascript tree view and go to a new page?
A: There is no need to write additional code on a server side to remember what items were expanded/collapsed.
DHTML Tree Menu can save items state automatically.
Please, see the example of the menu that works with cookies:
http://dhtml-menu.com/tree-examples/tree-menuxp-save-state.html
Set the following parameter:
var tsaveState = 1;
and the menu remembers its structure for each user who visit your page.
Try to expand/collapse items. Then reload the page and you'll see results.
Q: Can you tell me the difference between a target and a link.
Also can you explain what self, blank, top, parent, search and custom mean in the javascript menu table please.
A: Link is the url you want to open when you click on the javascript menu table item.
Target controls where you'll open your link:
"_self" - open link in the same window
"_blank" - open link in the new window
"_parent" - will load the linked document where the inner frameset file had been
"_top" - loads the linked document in the topmost frame
custom - you should write here the name of the frame where you want to
open the linked document, for example:
"framename"
"_search" - this target causes the link to load in the browser's Search pane. (Internet Explorer 5.0 and later.)

Q: I have tried various different ways, but I cannot get a separator image I have specified in the Separators section of javascript menu builder to display. I have verified that the image exists, but still nothing. The rest of the menu works perfectly. Any help will be appreciated.
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["||-"],
["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],
Try that. 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.
