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: I am using Deluxe-menu 3.0.
I can add dhtml popup menu items and submenu items. Each new sub menu item is placed at the bottom of that list. How can I move it up in the listing.
For instance if my menus are:
2007
2006
2005
2004
and I add 2008 - it will be placed below 2004, but I want it at the top of the list. Each item in the list has multiple subitems, so I don't want to delete the other items to get it in the correct order.
I looked through your help file, FAQ and online questions and could not find an answer.
A: To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy dhtml popup menu items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
You can find this info in Tuner's help, "Main Window" sheet.
Q: Do you by chance have the dhtml menu samples working with XML?
A: Unfortunately we don't have working example.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.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">dhtml menu samples by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, 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.)
];
</script>
