- Filters and Transitional effects - Cross-frame support - menus work on frameset-based pages - Several menus on one page - Submenus dropdown on mouseover - AJAX menu loading - loads web menu data from the server "on-the-fly". - UL/LI items structure - Visible over select boxes, iframes, pdf, flash, Java applets. - Unlimited number of sub levels
Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.
Q: Is there any way to keep the cursor as default on disabled links? I see that there's a general cursor choice, is there any chance to make it individually?
A: Unfortunately you cannot set cursor type individually for all items. You can set it only for whole items.
You can try to set a cursor for your <img> tag. for example: ["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/sep_mac.gif' style='cursor: default;'>","", "", "", "", "_", "-1", "0", "", ],
You can also try to set var itemCursor="default"; for all items and use <a> tags for all links:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='link'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles .link{ color: #FFFFFF;} .link:hover{ color: #FFBEBE;}

var keystrokes = 0; var dm_focus = 1; var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0; var smHideOnClick = 1; var itemAlignTop = 'left'; var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.

Q: We have been evaluating your menu control. But we are not able to use PNGFix javascript which is used for transparent PNG image in our down navigation bar. Your menu is transparent but it goes one layes behind. It should come on top of all with transparecy.
Your reply could help us make a buying decision.
A: Unfortunately it is really so. PNGFix javascript won't work.
We'll try to add feature to use transparent PNG images in the next version of Deluxe Menu.
Q: I am having some difficulty dynamically adding items to a dhtml sliding menus.
A: See dtreet_ext_insertItem () function has the following parameters:
function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)
Creates a new item and inserts it into a specified position. menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0. parentItemID - ID property of an item.<, >= 0. itemInd - index of a new item within the menu, >= 0. itemParams - item parameters.
Notice that parentItemID is the Id property of the parent item (notindex). If you want to add top items you should set parentItemID=0.
itemInd - you should use this parameter if you want to add item in the specific place, for example set itemInd=5 if you want to add item before the existing item with itemInd=5. If you set itemInd=null the new item will be added at the end of this submenu and its index will be added automatically.
