Q: There seems to be a "glitch" when I use Firefox.
I have rebuilt the page twice but I always end up with themenu floating to the left, instead of under the main menu (the second or third mouseover will correct the issue). Also, sometimes I have to mouseover twice before the submenu comes up (in I.E.).
I have validated...however I wondered if there could be a conflict in the javascripting (yours and mine). Any suggestions?
A: The reason is in your <!DOCTYPE>.
Try to specify units in "px".
var menuWidth="780px";
var menuHeight="27px";
var smWidth="200px";
var smHeight="200px";

You can also try to set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=1;

Q: Hi, I am testing your menu system for my company and would like to know how to keep the menu in the centre of the page like <centre></centre>.
I know how to do it without a floating menu but cannot work out how to do this with it floating.
A: When you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
Q: Is it possible to integrate a search window for my customers in your apycom dhtml menu..
A: You can use any html code within your menu items.
To add input area and a button you should write your menu item in thefollowing way:
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go' style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
You should also add your own code that search has functioned.
