Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
 When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting. 
 Please let me know. Thanks!
 
A:  The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future. 
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: So, I'm actually developing an application with wordpress, and I would like to intagrate this excellent javascript navigation menu. 
This site is Educational, and provides media about TI, for students of the Autonom University of Tamaulipas, in Mexico. 
A:  Actually we're using Deluxe Menu in our WordPress blogs without anyproblems.
You should edit the php template of your theme.
1. Go to Design -> Theme Editor
Open header.php file
!! Notice that you should CHMOD header.php file to777 setting. Find more info here:

2. Upload folder with all menu files on your server
3. Add the following code in the <head> tag:
<noscript><p><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">javascript navigation menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></p></noscript><script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath="menu/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/dmenu.js"></script>
where 'menu' is the folder with all menu file on your server.
4. Call data file in the place where you want to have the menu, forexample:
<div style='z-index: 100;position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;float: left;height: 85px; '>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/deluxe-menu-blog.js"></script>
</div>
5. Click 'Update File' button.
That's all.
Q: The spacing between each item of the top horizontal dropdown menu is uneven but I don't know why. 
 If you highlight them all it becomes more obvious. 
 It is almost as if the space after a 2 word link is twice the space after a one word link or else the total space after each link is related to the number of letters in the link. 
 For example the space after 'Discounts' is greater than the space after 'Home' but the space after 'Envelope Printing' is even greater. 
A:  You can try to set the following horizontal dropdown menu parameters:
  var menuWidth="";
  var itemPadding="0px 10px 0px 10px";
Q: I did not make anything complex - simply added a couple of menu items. As you may see the java swing popup menu being expanded overlaps with the rest of the table. I guess I am just not doing something right since it is a trivial case ... 
A:  Now you're using absolute position for the menu:
  var tabsolute=1;
You should use relative position.
