Recent Questions Acts As Tree Menu
Q: I would like the button in the sub navigation bar to stay white when you navigate to a particular page..
A: 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, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<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 just in the process of evaluating your deluxe menus product for possible purchase.
I have installed the product and i am using the Deluxe Tuner product to create my menus based on the Vista 3-08 template.
I save the project and it adds the .js files in the correct location ( all under Menu folder in my project), but none of the images for the top level menu are copied (btn_red.gif or btn_red2.gif).
So when i run my website, i see the drop down menus but no header menu images (see attached image).
What image files need copying to which location in my websites main folder?
A: When you save your menu in Deluxe Tuner (use "Save as..." or "Exportto HTML" functions) you'll get a folder with all engine files(dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js ...) and all images.
So, for Vista Style 3-08 template you'll have the following images:
arr_white.gif
arrv_white.gif
blank.gif
btn_red.gif
btn_red2.gif
You should copy folder with all these files on your server.
Q: Is it correct that in vertical collapse menu you can specify your target as a different frame?
A: Yes, you can specify frame name as the target in Javascript/DHTML Tree:
var titemTarget="frame";Q: I just don't understand the 'concept" of how It should be put into my html page.
I plan on having more than one menu on my page. and this would be an example of one of the drp down menus I want on it. I'm fairly new to making a webpage, but this menu is what I would like on my page.
sorry for being a little slow at this, I DO LOVE how it lays out and cant wait to get it to work on my webpage.
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
Deluxe Tuner v2.4 supports JavaScript Tree Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Javascript/DHTML Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.

You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site (you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package"JavaScript Tree Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- JavaScript Tree Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
If you want to install several menus on the one page you should writethe following code once
<!-- JavaScript Tree Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
And then call your data files several times.
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data3.js"></script>
Try that.
