The template emulates Vista OS menu style. To open submenus click on menu items. The appearence of this template is determined by the following parameters:
- The menu have XP Style; Animation effect for subitems - Toggle-mode support. - Items have icons - Menu has a static position and is placed within the table cell
Key features:
- Personal CSS styles for separate menu elements - Unlimited number of sub levels - Several menus on one page - Items with icons - Image arrows - Relative/Absolute menu position - Submenus expand/collapse on mouseover - Submenus have a fade effect
Tune menu parameters manually or using Deluxe Tuner. Then add several rows of a code within html page - your menu is ready!
Use special JavaScript functions for: Dynamic changing of items (text, link, icons and even individual style!). Making a menu item active/disabled. Addition/removing of items. Changing of visibility of items. Collapsing/expanding of items. Getting the information on any menu, submenu and items. Other tricks. But for all that it's not necessary to insert any additional code into all the pages - just specify some additional parameters of the menu.
Q: I am looking at purchasing the Drop Down Menu Program. I cannot find any examples of other sites that may be using your product. And each link that I click on for help gives me code to use on the page. Does this mean that I need to know JavaScript to use this program effectively? How recent is the newest version of your program? Please advise if there is a support forum, also.
A: I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- JavaScript Tree Menu, http://deluxe-menu.com. This is a newer version of DHTML Menu. It works better.
I can send you some links to the websites with JavaScript Tree Menu. http://www.iibatoronto.org/index_2007_menus2.htm http://www.eembc.org/

No, there is no need in deep knowledge of javascript to use the menu. You can use Deluxe Tuner application to create your menus easily.
We release the new version of the menu about two times a year.
