Q: My site has three levels of a folder structure. Can I create a menu that will allow me to link in and out of folders? Or must I design three menu's with different link locations.
A: You can use one menu.
Use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I downloaded a trial version of your software and I did so because your description says it can utilize a database.
I have tried to modify a menu with my database, but with no success.
If you can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Once I can successfully alter a menu with a database, then I will purchase this software.
A: You can find the example with PHP here:

Q: I am trying out your program and it's really sweet. I have 1 little problem. I created the menu everything works in IE7. In firefox the menu is about 4 or 5 px longer. It seems like in firefox there is a border around each top level item although I have set all borders to 0 (I can see that because I have set roolover color of background to opposite of normal color)
A: Try to set exact width for the menu in "px".
For example:
var menuWidth="600px";
Q: There's no explanation of what to do after creating a dhtml menu example or where to paste the code, which files to upload..
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on
the main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-tree.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Save your data file.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var WorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
&tr><td>%lt;script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</tablegt;
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in the
same folder with your index.html page.
Try that.
