Q: I would like to know if there are problems with your menu dynamique javascript and google PR. and the code that will appear on my pages (if i install your menu dynamique javascript).
I previously have installed open cube menus and my pr has been reduced from 6 to 0 and i am still waiting to have it back.
Will your menu have problems?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
We use search engine friendly code on our websites
http://deluxe-menu.com
http://deluxe-tree.com
http://deluxe-tabs.com
and our customers use this code on there sites without any problems.
As you can see Google doesn't penalize them.
Q: Is it possible to make the javascript menu buttons and the text bigger? Or at least the text larger?
Right now the text is so small that they actually look a little blurry.
The only font I can increase is the font on the dropdown menus. but I cant change the font that appear on the actual tabs. If I could increase the font on them that would be great.
A: You should change font in Individual styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackImage=http://www.pursepage.com/wp-content/themes/pinkdoubleheader/data.files/btn_magentablack.gif,http://www.pursepage.com/wp-content/themes/pinkdoubleheader/data.files/btn_magenta.gif","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle='normal 14px Arial','normal 14px Arial'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
Q: Can I use data from a SQL server using ASP for drop down menu code?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files,
so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
