Q: I have published on a test page you can see herebelow a test with the javascript pull down menu.
With IE, it works fine, the menu is displayed over the flash animation.
With Firefox, the flash animation disappears and comes back if I mouve the mouse out of the menu.
I have read the FAQs, but I can not see any document on this. Can you help me in understanding and solving the problem ?
A: You should add opaque parameters to OBJECT and EMBED tags.
You can find more info on this issue here:

Q: In the rollover menus, how can I have a heading link to and open another website's home page?
A: 1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you have:
<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>
So, in Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
2) Or you can create only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.
More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")
Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.
content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.
I call the skin .js file with id='win'.
On the page you should open popup windows with the same id:
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 1 PopupWindow with 'files/test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/1test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 2 PopupWindow with 'files/1test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/2test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 3 PopupWindow with 'files/2test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/3test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 4 PopupWindow with 'files/3test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/4test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 5 PopupWindow with 'files/4test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/5test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 6 PopupWindow with 'files/5test.html' content.</a>
<a title="Click to open sample" href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', 'files/6test.html', 'Window','width=220,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite', 'iframe')">Click to open 7 PopupWindow with 'files/6test.html' content.</a>
So, the previous window will be closed and the new one will be opened.If you want to open several windows at once use different id's for each link.
Q: I have to pass dynamic value from the link when the user click the mouseover menu.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Q: But where on javascript drop down menu creator I can set the dmsearch=2 ? I can't find it, there isn't an option or submenu for the search box on the left side of deluxe tuner.
A: Use last version of javascript drop down menu creator v3.2.
You can find
var dmSearch=2;
parameter in the "Advanced" section of parameter's list.
Then you should select an item (where you want to add search box), forexample first item and add
search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'
code into the "Link" field directly ("Item Parameters" window).
