We are using <br> as the menu text is too long but the problem we are facing is the space between two line of web menu text.
Can you please let me know how we can reduce the space?
A: You can write your text in the following way:

"/TeachingLaw/Courses/LegalRsrchWriting/AmySloan/Room1/","","","","" ,"" ,""

Q: The dropdown menu works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using the other parameters to make it absolute... here is the html files, and the .js files included in a zip file.
A: Now on your website you have the following code:
["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.
You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";
and write
["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
Q: Is there a javascript function I can call to switch from one tab to the next in the javascript jump menu?
A: You can use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
menuInd - index of the javascript jump menu on your page (>= 0)
itemInd - index of the item you want to open (>= 0)
Q: I'm trying to position my menus inside absolutely positioned <DIV> tags. If the <DIV> tag has style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;" in the actual tag, deluxe-menu seems to work correctly. If I have the "position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;" in a <STYLE> tag or a linked stylesheet and applied using id or class selectors, then deluxe-menu does not work correctly: sub menus have a 100pixel offset in the y direction and a 50 pixel offset in the x direction. This is with no change to the .js data file (I have absolutePos=0;) Is this a known issue, and is it planned to be fixed?
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
For example, you should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=head>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=head style="position:absolute;">
Now we have only such solution for this problem.
We'll try to fix this problem in the future versions.
