Q:

I have seen a certain menu effect on a few websites and have so
far been unable to reproduce it in simply HTML/CSS. Today I saw the
effect on a website, looked at the source code and it appears they
are using some of your code.

I have a fairly typical screen layout with a dynamic tree menu on the left
hand 10% of the screen and the main screen content on the right 90%.
Some of my screens get very long, so that when you scroll all the
way down to the bottom, the menu is left way up off screen. I would
like the menu block to move down so that it is always a certain
number of pixels below the top of the viewed screen, not the
absolute top of the page. Is this something your software does? If
so, which one of your products?

A:

You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
You should use floatable menu, so you can always see the menu.
But to use the floatable feature
var floatable=1;
you should use the absolute position for the menu
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=”10″;
var posY=”10″;

Please, try the trial version of the dynamic tree menu.

Q:

I test your free menu before buy but I have a question.

Is it possible to integrate a font in the dynamic tree menu which was not on the internaute system ?

I want to customize my menu with change the font, but this font
is not on the system with default.

How link my menu with a new font?

A:

If you want to use unusual font for your menu you should create images
for each item with text and use it in your menu.

Actually you can choose any font installed on your computer in the dynamic tree menu, but this font won’t work on your website.

Q:
How can I change item width in the Vista templates in the dynamic tree menu?

A:

The width of vista images is 92px. If the width of your menu item
is wider than 92px you should correct the width of the images in any
graph editor, for example in Photoshop.

Q:

I have small problems with your dynamic xml menu.
#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird
format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same
width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do
I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer
than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break,
rather than having the scroll feature?

A:

1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
     ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
     ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
     ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

…
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
     ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
     ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where “0″, “1″, “2″, “3″ - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

var itemStyles = [
     ["itemWidth=120px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
     ["smWidth=120px"],
];

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
     ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
     ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

var noWrap=0;

Q:

Buttons are working great! Client would now like to have the rollover image
stay active on the page they are on. They would like the button to stay white when you
navigate to a particular page, i.e. If you click on “Press”, when you get
to that page, the button stays white, while all the others react in the
normal manner. Is this possible?? I have seen it on other sites and it
seems like it should be possible. Please let me know. I believe it could be done by creating a separate dynamic tree menu for
each page, but that seems like a lot of work. I am sure you have a
solution.

A:

The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

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">dynamic tree 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 using the dhtml-tabs code. I have 2 tabs that I use for a basic form and an
advanced form. The advanced form is on the second tab. When I submit, I get results.
When I click the back button, the selected tab is the first one, and not the second.
Is there a way to configure the tabs to be persistent or sticky. Such that clicking
on the back button will result on being on the second tab, which was the last dynamic tree menu tab
before going to a new page?

A:

You can try to use the following dynamic tree menu function:

dtabs_itemClick(0,1)

To open your second tab.
