Q: Can your menu, when placed in a master page, be propagated throughout an application's sub-folders
or will the html menu need to be added to each page separately?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

You can use cross frame menu. It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages
that use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -
just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

See the attached document, I want to remove the double arrow icon at right for "Mission Statement", "History", "Direction" and "Contact Us".
Any help will be appreciated.
A: You can create Individual XP Style and use it for items with submenus:
var tXPExpandBtn=["left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif"];
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPExpandBtn=left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif"],
];
and assign this style for all top items with submenus:
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["+Company Profile","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
["|Item 25","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 26","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Projects","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style 0
["|Item 27","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 28","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],Q: Can i install and run this on a server running OS X?

Q: I want to use my own function within menuItems in the drop down menu button.
A: You can use Javascript instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:launchWin('popups/popup_member_browser.cfm','css_MemberBrowser',600,720,0,0,0)"]
];
