A: Unfortunately, we don't have tutorial yet, we'll try to create it inthe nearest future.
To create the pop up menu you should to do the following steps:
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.

Unfortunately, Deluxe Tuner doesn't copy all need images forVista Template into your folder. You should do it manually.
After you create your menu in Deluxe Tuner you should copy all images youneed for the menu into your folder and correct images paths.
You should set the following parameter
var pathPrefix_img="";
2. You should add the following parameter for the pop up menu:
var popupMode=1;
You should do it manually. Please, open your data file in any texteditor and add such parameter.

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 dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script> //data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.

</head>
<body>

<img src="deluxe-menu.files/logo_w.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">

</body>
Where return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place. In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
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
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.
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):

Where 3 is the number of your menu item from the var bmenuItemsparameter.
var bmenuItems =
[
