Q: You have a great, and very intuitive and easy to learn, product.
I'm down to two dumb questions:
A. What controls the little red arrows? I'd like them on every one of the navigators.
B. How do I create equal space between the drop down menu items? It looks weird right now.
A: 1) If your top item has a submenu this arrow will appear automatically.
For the items without submenus you may write:
["Home <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","index.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About Us <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","about_us.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can find arrowmain11.gif image in the attached example.
Actually you can add any html code inside item's text.
2) Set the drop down menu padding:
var itemPadding="3px 15px 3px 3px";
Q: Is there a way to programmatical select an item in the scrolling menu without the user actual click on the item?
A: You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I am trying to update a website using a deluxe-menu, but I do not understand the instructions for inserting it into a framed site. I have everything working, and the menu is on the page. I just cannot figure out how to make the submenus appear in another frame.
The website makes it sound like I need to alter the data.js file, but I do not have any programs on my computer that will allow me to do so.
A: You can open your data.js file in any text editor and add such linedm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0); instead of dm_init();

Q: When one of my menu items is a link to a url, is there a setting to change the cursor to a hand versus the normal arrow for the dhtml rollover?
Basically, I want the links of the menu items to look like most other links on any webpage.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
