Q: I have been mostly creating my menus by starting with a template file that has the features I need, and then modifying that file by hand (as opposed to using the Tuner program). In this case I am using data-vista-01.js.
When I load my html file that has references to the necessary resources (e.g. .js, gif, etc) in a directory that has the Images folder and Menu folder copied directly from the installed Deluxe Menu program directories, I get what I want.
This is perfect. But I think to myself, surely I don't need all the .js files from the Menu directory, nor do I need all the .gif files from the Images directory, so I started deleting those files one at a time, until I got to the point where Images contained only the Vista1 folder + the empty.gif file, and the Menu folder contained only dmenu.js. My menu now not working.
I'm guessing that some graphic files need to draw the top-level menu bar are missing. But which ones?
So my question is, what files do I really need? Is this something the documentation describes, and if so where?
I hope I don't have to include the full contents of the Menu and Images folder, as they are quite large.
A: Unfortunately, you should add all need images manually.
We'll try to correct it soon.
You can open your data.js file and see what images you're using in themenu and copy tese images into your folder.
You should also change the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="";
There is no need to use all engine files for the menu.

Q: Is there a convenient template somewhere that allows me to have a standard windows tree control menu that stays open so that the user does not lose track of himself.
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
You can expand any items when you load your page.

["+DHTML Menus","", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
["|DHTML Menu","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", "Information", "_self", , , , , ],

Q: Two more questions, while waiting for this answer:
1) calendarDatePicker.handlers( ['dtEvent', 'dtEvent', {type : 'datetime', format:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}] ); is ignoring the date format.
2) If I have a button that in an onclick I want to popup calendar, how would I do that?
3) I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
Thank you, I have people waiting for me to bring this site live - your fast help is appreciated
A: >I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
You should write NOSCRIPT tag in the following way:
<noscript><a href="http://calendardatepicker.com">Javascript Calendar Date Picker by calendardatepicker.com</a></noscript>
> 1) calendarDatePicker.handlers( ['dtEvent', 'dtEvent', {type : 'datetime',

You should install the calendar in the following way:
<form>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
calendarDatePicker.handlers(['cal', 'txt', {type : 'datetime', IiI:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}]);
};
</script>
<input type="button" value="Click to open calendar" id="cal" name="cal" onClick="">
<input type="text" id="txt" value="">
<div id="test-box" style="width:40px;height:40px;position:absolute;left:200px;top:10px;"></div>
</form>
Q: Hello, Could you please help me with an alignnment issue with my website. If you go to mt website you will see the problem. I set the x alignment to=266 but the y alignment is left blank because I would like to keep the menu centered on the site.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "300px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
