Q: I just purchased your Deluxe Menu maker. Wonderful tool!
I have made a menu, uploaded it to my HTML folder at Typepad in the correct place and tried several OTHER places too.
I have inserted the js snips into the head and body in all permutations of combinations.
I checked it each time by both opening my site and viewing source.
The menu is there. But it cannot be seen on the page. Never has been seen. Not even a hint of it being there.
I tried .js .file AND .js AND CSS.
No menu.
I checked on four browsers.
No menu.
I verified the files are in my index place by copying them to notebook.
I have done all of the above about 20 times EACH.
A: See, now you have:

It is not correct. You should call dmenu.js file only once.
Please, delete the second code.
There is now engine .js files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
and data file on your server.
Q: I'm trying to shrink the vertical size of the sub-menu entries in my menu:
I think I've specified all the parameters correctly in data.js, but itТs hard to tell what affects the height of the submenu entries. Even reducing the type from 10pt to 8pt didnТt shrink them at all.
A: See, you set the following parameter:
var itemPadding = 7;
That is why you have such a big padding around the items.
If you don't want to change the appearance of the main items youshould create Individual Style for the subitems. For example:
var menuStyles = [
["itemPadding=2px"],
];
And assign this style for the first item in submenu.
Q: How does an item on the dhtml navigation menus connect to pages?
Does it take the page's name automatically?
If I add a page, will the menu item show the new page?
If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
A: > how does an item on the menu connect to pages?
You should create menu items in the Deluxe Tuner and specify link and target for each item, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Upcoming Trainings","http://domain.org/pub/upcoming-trainings", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Conferences & Workshops","upcoming-workshops.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Continuing Ed","ceu.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

> if I add a page, will the menu item show the new page?
> If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
No, you should do it manually in Deluxe Tuner (or any text editor).
Q: We want to evaluate Delux Menu(DM). But before doing any testing I want to ask few questions.
-#1 Can DM support context menus on right click with in a DIV and on a button click.
ex: I have a Options button on the web page and also a DIV which is transformed using xml and xsl.
Onclick of the button and right click within the DIV area should popup the same menu.
I have various DIVs and each DIV has its own context menu.
-#2 Any issues like IE memory leaks by using DM. I am asking this we are having some issues with the present menu control we are using. IE hangs up when the web page is idle for more than 20 mins.
A: 1. Deluxe Menus supports such a feature. Please, go tohttp://deluxe-menu.com, section "Samples->Functional Samples->Popup Menu"
You can create any number of menus on a page.
2. We don't know about such a problem with Deluxe Menu. Please, try atrial version of DM. It has a full functionality.
