Q: We have several problems with your menu.
Notice when trying to select a drop down item…the item disappears, rather than holding in place as the mouse is over the menu item.
Second, we’d like to know how to expand the width of the main headers and sub headers. Currently, they are not of the same width.
Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new fonts to match the branding of the menu items.
Please let us know where we can find instructions to make these modifications/customizations.
A: Please, try to write your menuItems parameter correctly.
You should set "iconOver" parameter for each item (you can set "").
Please, see how you should write your menuItems:
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["|Contestants","experience_contestants.php","","","_self","2",,,],

You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","arrowImageMain=image1,image2=home_out.gif,home_over.gif"], // style 0
["itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#AA0000,#0000FF"], // style 1
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 2
];
var menuItems = [
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
...
For submenus you should set the following parameter:
var smWidth="150px";
> Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new

You should also use Individual styles.
But you should set this parameter:
var fontStyle="";
And then use different fonts for your items.
Q: Just wondering if you could help.I wish to put a script java menu on every page of my site - through all the folders etc.
How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
How do I set the file path to that file from all pages of my website?
A: 1) How do I set it so that they all 'feed' from the same dmenu.js file?
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: After creating a menu using Deluxe Tuner, the exported menu.htm file, when viewed in IE, creates the “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options…”
What do I do to prevent the menu from causing this error message?
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: I have heard from some page visitors, that they couldn’t see the menu. Could this be a problem with deactivated Java script or could you tell me some possibilities what it could be.
A: Your visitors should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages they load.
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.
