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!

You should use absolute path here:
1. Paste the following code into a tag of your page:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://site.com/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
2. Paste the following code where you want to have the menu:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.com/menudir/data.js"></script>
2) How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
If you don't want to create your menu on each page, you can try to useframes, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
Q: Hi, is there a way to fire an event when a net javascript menu tab page loads? I want to turn on a section of the page that is not part of the tab when a tab page is made visible.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var bmenuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var bmenuItems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];

var subMenuAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
