Q: Can your menu, when placed in a master page, be propagated throughout an application's sub-folders
or will the html menu need to be added to each page separately?

A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.

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.)
];


The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

You can use cross frame menu. It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages
that use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -
just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.

To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

Q: I have started with the deluxe - looks a little more confusing, but I will persist.

Just to confirm that this is right for me.

1) Will deluxe load quickly?.
2) Will it work with most browsers? Or will user need to download some sort of java file?
3) Can I use it with dreamweaver?


A: 1) Deluxe Menu generally loads faster than other page elements.
It is possible that the speed of showing the menu can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.

2) Deluxe Menu works fine in most of browsers on Windows OS, MAC OS, Linux/Unix OS.
More info you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/browsers-info.html

You don't have to install additional software.
Your customer should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages he loads.

When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

3) Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:

1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: My question is how can I change the size and color of the font for the
main items in the simple dhtml menu, not the drop downs?


A: You can use Individual Item Styles in that case:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html

Set the style you need for subitems:

  var fontStyle=["normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma","normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"];

Set the style you need for main items:

  var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle='bold 12px Arial','bold 12px Arial'"], // style 0
];

Assign this style for main items:

  var menuItems = [
["Scenic album","scenic-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
 ["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|Item 9","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],>  ["|Item 10","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], ["Floral album","floral-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Southwest album","southwest-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Wildlife album","wildlife-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
];

Q: I'm creating a "Clear" style dhtml menu and for whateverreason it automatically spaces the menu items unevenly.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to set the spacing evenly.

A: Try to set exact width for each top item using Individual Item Styles:

  var itemStyles = [["itemWidth=120px"],];

  var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];
