Q: Is it possible to change the mouseover font style to bold within the deluxe menu?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can't change font weight.
If you want to do that you can paste your own <div> withinitem's text field and change a font yourselves.
For example:
***
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
}
var menuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>item text</div>", link, ...]
];

Q: Tree menu doesn't display properly in Firefox or IE7. Could you give me advice on how to correct this problem? The menu creates black 'blinds' horizontally across the page. Since IE7 will be rolling out soon I need to get this corrected sometime in the next couple weeks.
A: Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "280px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helps to position menus correctly.
Q: I use Namo WebEditor 2006 to edit our site.
I used your program to create a drop down menu but when I try to paste the script into my editor I don't get the menu. I have read your instructions and followed them step by step several times but I have had no success. Can you please assist me.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

That's all.To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Q: The cascading javascript menu does not spans frames or windows like Applets. Is that correct?
I was not able to make the sample to do it.
A: The DHTML Menu and Java Menu are built on different technologies.Java menus can create submenus that cover frames as a standard Windowssubmenus. DHTML Menu can't do that, because it's controls is htmlobjects, they can't overlap Windows controls. So, cascading javascript menu hascross-frame ability that allows it to show submenus in differentframes. But it can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!
